About Makoto Tadokoro 田所真琴

Makoto Tadokoro is a renowned knife sharpener from Tosa, Japan. He started his career at the young age of 15, shadowing renowned Sakai sharpener Morihiro-san. Now in his early 40s, Tadokoro-san already has 25 years of experience under his belt. Tadokoro knives are forged by Sakai's famous Shiraki Hamono, then grinded and finished by Tadokoro-san in Tosa, following the finest 30+ steps finishing tradition he mastered. Tadokoro knives are absolutely superior when it comes to their grind and their finishing details. 

Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. 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 polyethylene 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.

Not enough necklace length options
Color: 2-Rose Gold-01
The pendant was as advertised. The necklace was not long enough for my wife’s preference and I ordered the longest one offered. I had to use a different company to find the length she prefers. This was her birthday present. Had to spend another $150 just to find a chain. Try offering longer chains.
