About Kato Yoshimi 加藤 義実

Yoshimi Kato (aka. Yoshimi Katou) is a renowned blacksmith in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, and the 3rd generation Kato. Head of Kato Uchihamono, formerly known as Kintaro, Mr. Kato has apprenticed under his father - 2nd generation blacksmith - Hiroshi Kato for many years before taking over the family business. Mr. Kato is a master of heat-treating high-end steels such as SG2 and Aogami Super. His hand-forged Damascus is mesmerizing and his tsuchime finish aesthetically pleasing. Kato knives have a great reputation for being the finest example of Echizen craftsmanship.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

You can’t trust them
I got my business card through American Express. I paid it off and asked them to cancel it. 6 months later I got a bill for a $30.00 service fee. I called to get it resolved and talked to someone in India and asked her to cancel the card. She said she would fill a complaint and I didn’t hear anything again until I got another bill for $60.00. Don’t get there card.

Cute Basic Tank That’s Easy to Dress Up or Down
Color: Taupe, Size: Small
This ANRABESS sleeveless tank top is a really cute basic to have in the closet. I bought it in 3 colors. I like the fitted ribbed style because it gives it a little more shape than a plain tank, but it’s still simple enough to wear with just about anything. The scoop neck is flattering without being too low, and the slim fit makes it easy to tuck into jeans, shorts, or wear under a jacket/cardigan. It’s one of those tops that works for everyday outfits but can also be dressed up a little with jewelry or nicer pants. The material feels comfortable and stretchy, and it has that casual summer look without feeling sloppy. I’d say it’s great for warm weather, layering, or just throwing on when you want something easy but still put-together. Cute, flattering, and comfortable — a great basic tank that I can see myself wearing a lot.
