Jorque Toquero Román was born in Tudela de Duero, a village in the province of Valladolid, in 1974. He currently lives in Santalla de Oscos. Craftsmanship is his way of life. Before dedicating himself to craftsmanship, he worked for eleven years in the construction sector. Although his father owned a construction company and life led him in that direction, he never felt truly fulfilled. When he was born, his village had around 5,000 inhabitants; today, it has grown to over 11,000. He was always drawn to rural life and wanted to remain in that environment. One of the reasons behind his decision to change paths was precisely that: to stay connected to rural living. He found out that there were knife-making courses in Taramundi, offered through a training workshop. He was already familiar with the Taramundi knives and found the subject appealing, so he decided to give it a try, hoping he could make a living from crafting knives. And he succeeded. For him, it was an opportunity he didn’t let slip by. He lived in Taramundi for five years. Later, he broadened his experience through several trips to Japan, where he worked in knife-making workshops in Tokyo. From that point on, he decided to set up his own business as a knife-making artisan, creating handmade products that blend the traditional craftsmanship of the Oscos-Eo region with Japanese knife-making techniques.
