The torch has been passed and Yoshimi-san has stepped up to fill some big shoes and take over those lines. Yoshimi-san apprenticed at Kanehiro Hamono under the guidance of Hiroshi-san, who has also taught amazing blacksmiths like Yu Kurosaki. The transition has been seamless. He tells us he strives to continuously improve his skill day by day. We look forward to working with the next generation Kato for many years to come!\n\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003eThis is also a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.\n","brand":"Yoshimi Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378438521006,"sku":"YSKTSG2HY165SA","price":495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Yoshimi_Kato_Hyo_Santoku_165mm_1.jpg?v=1773172360","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/products\/yoshimi-kato-sg2-hyo-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
