Material Integrity and Exceptional Detail
Osage Orange Handle – Strength, Warmth, and Character
Osage Orange is a golden-hued hardwood revered for its structural integrity and natural resilience. Dense, durable, and resistant to warping or moisture, it is a material chosen not only for performance but for its warm, evolving beauty. Over time, its luminous surface deepens into rich amber tones, building character with every use.
Each handle is shaped and finished by hand, with attention paid to grain direction, balance, and comfort.
Black Liner – Hidden Strength and Sharp Contrast
A black liner reinforces the bond between wood and steel, improving internal structure while providing a clean, minimalist contrast against the rich tones of Osage.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – The Blade’s Signature
At the core of the blade is VG10 stainless steel, a high-performance alloy favoured for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and reliability. This central cutting core is strengthened through San Mai construction, where it is laminated between outer layers of stainless steel to enhance durability and protect the cutting edge.
As the blade is shaped, ground, and etched, it reveals the flowing Suminagashi pattern — a natural wave-like marbling created through the repeated layering and folding of contrasting steels. Each pattern is unique, speaking to the hand-finished nature of the blade and the time-intensive process behind its creation.
Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Razor-sharp edge with superior retention
• San Mai laminated structure for toughness and protection
• High resistance to corrosion and wear
• Distinctive, one-of-a-kind Suminagashi wave pattern

The Commemorative Japanese Pin – A Mark of International Distinction
Each knife in this commemorative edition is adorned with a Japanese Pin, created to honour Patrick Joseph’s invitation to the prestigious Seki Invitational Knife Show, hosted in Japan by master bladesmith Koji Hara.
Held in the ancient city of Seki, the epicentre of Japan’s blade-making tradition, the event celebrates craftsmanship at the highest international level. The inclusion of the pin is more than a design element — it is a quiet mark of cultural exchange, professional recognition, and shared respect between two traditions.
