Chef Marco was born in Sardinia, Italy. At the age of twenty-two, he began his journey in the kitchen. Unique from other chefs, Chef Marco didn't learn from any chef in Michelin-starred restaurants.
He mastered all from scratch by himself.
Like a fairytale, he was once a dishwasher and transitioned into a great chef. He didn't meet any fairy godmother. His immense skills, talent, and hard work are the foundation of his success today. He read lots of books, worked very hard, and experimented lot. For him, the sky is the limit.
"If you can't do it, never stop trying."
Chef Marco Tola

Chef Marco enjoys his Syosaku Santoku Knife. Santoku knives are versatile. It’s a base of various knives, as well as basic cutting techniques. His knife is also engraved with his name in Katakana characters for a personal touch.
"Every time I start working on a new dish I reflect on some key elements. Each of my dishes must be:
• Good on the plate, which respects the raw material of which it is composed,
• Beautiful, or aesthetically perfect. And here, I speak of an aesthetic that encompasses the concepts of ethics, intelligence, sustainability, quality,
• Repeatable in a limited time,
• Innovative, technical, and
• New," said Chef Marco.

High carbon content combined with special production techniques gives exceptional hardness (HRC 62-63) to the core. The hardness allows the thinner blade edge, resulting in razor sharpness. High chromium content and other alloy components realizes extreme stain & corrosion resistance. The hard ZA18 is clad in softer stainless steel. This gives the blade an added toughness and durability, as well as stunning Damascus beauty. Handcrafted in Sakai, Japan, where the master craftsmanship has been handed down generation to generation for centuries.
