Tadokoro

Makoto Tadokoro is a master sharpener in Tosa City, Kochi, and his Japanese knives are known for clean, refined geometry: each blade is hand-ground to a thin edge on a sturdy spine through 20 to 30 careful steps. His meticulous finishing and polishing reach all the way down to the spine and choil, so every Tadokoro knife cuts smoothly and has a beautifully crafted finish.
