Yuta Katayama studied under the traditional craftsman of Echizen, Takeshi Saji, before going independent but keeping to crafting blades in accordance with the 700-year-old tradition of Echizen forged blades.
The blades he produces are both beautiful and easy to use. He goes beyond just kitchen knives and produces a wide range of knives that incorporate a variety of ideas.
The VG10 Damascus blade has been polished to a thin, sharp finish, giving it excellent cutting ability and long-lasting sharpness.
It can be used in a variety of situations, from professional settings to home use.
Specifications: Each knife is handmade, so the size, weight, and blade finish may vary.
