How to use the sharpening set?

Begin with the #1000 medium grit stone for fast, effective sharpening and edge restoration. Then move to the #3000 finishing stone to refine the edge, smooth the blade, and apply a micro-bevel for added strength and durability.

For best results, we recommend watching the instructional sharpening video from Makoto Tadokoro himself below to learn the techniques behind keeping your knives in peak condition for years to come.

About this artisan

Tadokoro Hamono OMOI Ginsan Kiritsuke Santoku 180mm Mirror Finish - Japanese Food Craftsman Shop

Tadokoro Hamono

At 16 years old, Makoto Tadokoro entered a knife workshop in Kochi prefecture, driven by fierce competitiveness. After 17 years of learning, he went independent only to realize he didn't know how to make truly exceptional knives.

He traveled Japan's knife centers studying the masters. In Sakai, the historic heart of Japanese cutlery, he discovered an entirely different approach: 20-30 hand processes per blade compared to the 10 he'd learned.

He found Sakai's top sharpener and showed up unannounced, who after looking at his works decided he showed promise and took Tadokoro under his wing. Thus, for years he traveled between Kochi and Sakai, relearning everything from scratch.

Through his training, Makoto Tadokoro learned a surprising truth: 90% of Japan's traditional knives are sold as "Sakai" products, yet 70% are actually forged in Kochi — always hidden, never credited.

"Kochi has world-class craftsmen," he says. "We should be known for it."
