Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Bocote Handle – Exotic Hardwood with Deep Grain and Natural Character
Bocote is a Central American hardwood prized for its rich colour contrast, swirling grain patterns, and natural oil content. Visually bold and naturally durable, it balances beauty with functionality in every cut. Each Bocote handle is shaped and polished by hand to highlight the complex movement of its grain — giving each knife its own unique, tactile identity.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner between tang and timber supports the knife’s structure while offering a clean visual break beneath the dynamic grain of the Bocote. It provides discreet strength and subtle balance to the composition.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Layered Steel, Unique to Each Blade
At the core of the blade lies VG10 stainless steel, selected for its hardness, cutting clarity, and edge retention. The core is protected through San Mai construction, with softer stainless steel layers laminated on either side for added toughness and corrosion resistance. The outer surfaces are etched and polished to reveal the blade’s Suminagashi pattern — flowing wave-like lines created by layering and folding steels of different carbon contents. Each blade is visually unique, with no two marbled patterns alike.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Razor-sharp edge and long-lasting performance
• Triple-layer San Mai construction for strength and durability
• High corrosion resistance for professional kitchen use
• Signature Suminagashi wave pattern – forged into the blade, not printed
• Premium VG10 kitchen knife – built to perform at the highest level

Built by Hand in Ireland
Every Patrick Joseph knife is built by hand in Ireland, guided by a commitment to precision, discipline, and detail. The process is deliberate, the standards exacting — resulting in a knife that performs flawlessly and endures through time.

The Commemorative Japanese Pin – A Mark of International Distinction

Held in the historic city of Seki — the heart of Japanese blade-making — the show recognises the world’s finest artisan kitchen knives. The pin stands as a quiet symbol of excellence, legacy, and shared respect.
