Ogata Knives

Syungo Ogata is a young blacksmith that has been working for the past 7 years as an apprentice for one of the master smiths in Takefu Village. The knives are spring hammer-forged and I'm very excited to be offering these knives from another of the younger generation of blacksmiths that I met earlier this summer at Takefu Village. These guys are the future of knife making in Japan and it's a privilege to offer their knives and introduce them to the USA market and help start them on their solo careers.
