I know of a burned-out chef, for example, who owns a few knife shops now. Then there's Yoshimi Kato, who left his job as the project manager of a construction company to become a blacksmith after marrying Hiroshi Kato's daughter.\u003cbr\u003eNormally, it takes apprentices some 10 – 15 years to become pros, but Kato-san did it in just 5 years, and is now running the show. He forges most of the Masakage Kiri, Yuki, and Koishi knives that were once his father-in-law's domain. Kato-san also brings a very special level of professionalism and care to his customers’ orders, ensuring that each and every finished blade fully meets his exacting quality standards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\u003e This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, Petty knives are an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.\n","brand":"Yoshimi Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925866348718,"sku":"YKATSG2MINAMO120PE","price":223.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/yoshimi-minamo-petty-120-1.jpg?v=1683922882","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-gb\/products\/yoshimi-kato-sg2-minamo-petty-120mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
