Through his work as a knife sharpener and vivaciously friendly demeanor, Sato became something of a Portland legend, both inside and beyond the restaurant industry. He honed the chefs’ knives at some of Portland’s most renowned eateries and food carts, including Olympia Provisions salumeria and the now-defunct Ataula restaurant.

He was loved by everyone,” says college friend Kristopher Mahoney-Watson. “Portland’s not going to be the same without him.”

Before relocating to Portland, Oregon, for college, Sato was born and raised in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture. His friends recall him frequently expressing pride in Niigata-produced goods, including tofu, rice, and knives.

He joined the Portland Community College theatrical scene and made friends there right away who like his outgoing personality and sense of humor. He eventually started working for the Samurai Bento food cart downtown after graduating, serving agedashi tofu and katsu to regulars and friends. Over time, Sato developed an interest in improving his knife-sharpening techniques and started to sharpen his neighbors’ blades at the Alder Street food cart pod with his whetstone.
