Rich Materials, Refined Execution
Gonçalo Alves Handle – Exotic Hardness and Natural Pattern
Gonçalo Alves is a tropical hardwood known for its dramatic contrast and interlocking grain. Naturally hard, stable, and moisture-resistant, it brings weight and integrity to the handle while offering a warm golden-brown base laced with darker streaks.
Each handle is shaped and finished by hand, ensuring a comfortable grip, long-term durability, and a handle as visually striking as the blade itself.
Black Liner – Hidden Strength and Understated Contrast
A black liner sits between the tang and the handle scale, reinforcing the structure while adding a quiet visual transition. It enhances both the strength and the subtle detail of the knife.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – The Blade’s Soul
At the core is VG10 stainless steel, a high-performance Japanese alloy known for its fine edge and reliability. Laminated using the San Mai method, the core is encased in outer stainless layers that offer additional resilience, durability, and corrosion resistance.
The blade’s surface is etched and polished to reveal the iconic Suminagashi pattern — wave-like lines that ripple across the steel like floating ink. Formed through folding and layering steels of different carbon contents, this pattern is a visual signature of traditional technique and true craftsmanship.
Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Razor-sharp edge with long-lasting performance
• San Mai triple-layer construction
• Excellent corrosion and wear resistance
• Unique, marbled 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.
