About Yoshimi Kato 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:

Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. 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.

Perfect fit for 2016 Corolla!
Fit's my 2016 Corolla perfect. Has a sturdy frame. Other name brand ones I have purchased before don't have the sturdy frame and squish up. This comes with tiny fragrant beads on the top part and has a light fresh scent when the air is on. Very happy so far.

Good fit, good value
Style: CF12436 Classic, Style: CF12436 Classic
Purchased this filter for my 2023 Outback. First off changing the cabin filter on this model Subaru is amazingly easy and can be done with no tools and no more then 5 minutes. Pictures posted show packaging, the paper "Blue" filter side, the "Black" charcoal side and the foam outer edge. The filter is well made and is very sturdy as the outer shell is plastic vs. other paper filters that are more flexible. Holding the filter in your hand and giving it a slite shake you can hear the activated charcoal within it. After installing the filter I had a few trips in the car, did I notice any difference in the air quality coming into the cabin....... no. But does this mean its not working? also no. What I can say is the filter fit snug and left no gaps, and with the plastic surroundings and foam in sure the filter will not be letting anything get by as it passes through the system. All and all this filter is well made and sturdy, and seems to be a good value with other paper only filters being about the same price.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality

The thickness is just right and fits perfectly. Easy to install, good airflow, and the air feels much cleaner after replacing the old filter. Great value for the price.

Easy to install
Style: CF10374 Classic
The frame is made of hard plastic (color black) which fits perfectly in the air cabin filter system of a Toyota Tacoma 2006 V6. It holds it's shap quite well. The carbon filter is able to be seen and works so far. The quality seems good and the thickness of the filter is well made with a foam outter film that makes it fit my Tacoma very well. I'm happy with it. The ease of installation is good and it is well worth the money.

2nd time to purchase this item over a 5 year period. The filter has a rigid frame making last much longer than other paper filters. Perfect fit and worth the cost. Great job filtering cabin and neutralizing odors!
