Murray Carter is a 17th Generation Yoshimoto Bladesmith and Certified Master Bladesmith. He is the first Caucasian to earn the title of a Yoshimoto Bladesmith. He is also the owner and founder of Carter Cutlery, based in Vernonia, Oregon.
Murray grew up in Eastern Canada and through outdoor activities he experienced a diversity of blades, which led him to be constantly disappointed in the quality of the knives he was exposed to. From these experiences he derived a desire to make something better.

Apprenticeship
After graduating from high school, Murray Carter traveled to Japan.
His interest in blades led him to a Japanese bladesmith's shopin the small rural village of Kumamoto. Stepping inside the shop he was amazed by the quality and the diversity of the knives on display and met with the shop owner. In his best conversational Japanese he expressed his appreciation and enthusiasm to the old bladesmith, and in no time at all, he was engaged in an apprenticeship under the tutelage of the shop owner, a sixteenth generation Yoshimoto bladesmith.

Upon completing his apprenticeship, Murray was asked to take the position of number seventeen in the Sakemoto family tradition of Yoshimoto Bladesmithing. He is the only Caucasian ever to have achieved this position.
Another remarkable fact is that he was the first foreigner on the Japanese island of Ky?sh? to get a shotgun and hunting license.
American citizenship
After eighteen years of studying and working as a bladesmith in a small blade shop in the village of Kumamoto, Japan, Murray Carter decided to pursue his version of the American Dream.

Although he made a decent living selling enough knives domestically in Japan, the increasing high level of interest from his Western customers, led him to move to the U.S.A.
This decision meant he had to apply for an immigrant visa, a process that took him five years of endless writing and filling numerous application forms. The end result of Murray hard work and determination was that he was the first Caucasian in history to be designated an lien Of Extra-Ordinary Ability6] by the US Immigration and Naturalization Services (now the Department of Homeland Security) based on his accomplishments as a traditional Japanese bladesmith.

Murray Carter and his wife decided to relocate their family to Vernonia, Oregon, where he expanded his bladesmithing business.
Career
Because of his ambition to establish a business in the U.S., Murray wanted recognition for his competence as a bladesmith in the Western world. He decided to certify his level of skill and in June 2001, Murray Carter was awarded the rating of Mastersmith by the American Bladesmith Society thus proving a degree of competency by Western standards.
He did this cutting performance test under the supervision of one of the founders of the American Bladesmith Society and legendary bladesmith, W.F Moran. This demanding test is developed and intended to put a knife repeatedly under severe stress and has to be tested by its maker. Any knife that survives this test is a testament of the high level of skill of the bladesmith. The blade Murray Carter tested was one with a 200 layer Damascus steel core.
At the end of the test, W.F Moran inspected the knife to see how it held up, and noticed the knife's edge was still in perfect shape, whilst shaving the hairs of his arm.
