Our Comment

The rustic Yoshimi Kato's kurouchi (black hammered) finish captivates with its unique texture and striking appearance. The matt, wa-shi (Japanese traditional paper) )-like texture bestows an unparalleled elegance upon the Japanese knife. 

The thin kiriha bevels create small secondary bevels that experience minimum pressure at the cutting edge. The slightly concave kiriha bevels create a razor-like knife and help maintain small secondary bevels over a series of sharpenings.
