Yoshimi Kato SG2 Minamo Bunka 165mm
About Yoshimi Kato - Second careers are often the best. I know a burnt-up chef, for example, who owns a few knife shops now. Then thereās Yoshimi Kato, who left his job as the project manager of a construction company to become a blacksmith after marrying Hiroshi Katoās daughter.
It takes normal apprentices 10-15 years to become pros, but Kato san did it in just 5, and is now running the show. He forges most of the Masakage Kiri, Yuki and Koishi knives that were once his father-in-lawās domain. Yoshimi san also brings a special level of professionalism and care to his customerās orders, checking each blade for quality when it is finished.
About the Shape - The Bunka looks like a bonafide badass. It is a multi purpose knife akin to the Santoku. āBunkaā translates to āculture.ā A cross between the Nakiri and Gyuto, Bunkas can do it all. Itās the best of both worlds with the volume cranked to 11.
