Ogata is a skilled knifemaker from Takefu in Japan. He worked as a sharpener for the renowned blacksmith Shiro Kamo for several years, but for the past 3 years, he has been working independently, and his knives have gained much appreciation worldwide. Since he uses powder steel in his knives, the need for hot forging is not critical. It is a very stable steel with a well-distributed grain that simply does not need to be hot-forged with a power hammer. For this reason, he enlists the help of Takefu Tokushu Steel, which laser-cuts the blade shape and heat-treats the steel. Ogata handles all other aspects of the manufacturing himself, with some assistance from his wife who takes care of the administrative tasks.
