Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Zebrawood Handle – Exotic Grain with Natural Power and Pattern
Zebrawood is a West African hardwood famed for its bold, striped grain — alternating streaks of golden cream and deep brown. Dense and durable, it resists moisture and impact while offering unique visual drama. Each handle is shaped and finished by hand, making the most of the grain’s wild linearity and ensuring an ergonomic, secure grip in all conditions.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Visual Depth
A slim black liner is fitted between the tang and handle scale, adding both structural strength and visual refinement. It enhances the durability of the knife while lending subtle contrast to the light-dark rhythm of the Zebrawood.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Forged Steel with Flowing Identity
At the core lies VG10 stainless steel, a high-performance Japanese alloy prized for its sharpness, corrosion resistance, and edge durability. It’s laminated in the San Mai tradition, where a hard core is encased between softer outer layers for resilience and flexibility. The blade’s etched surface reveals the forged Suminagashi pattern — delicate wave-like lines created by folding and layering steels of different carbon content.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Razor-sharp cutting edge with long-lasting precision
• Triple-layer San Mai construction for strength and flexibility
• Suminagashi marbling – forged into the blade, not printed
• VG10 core – corrosion-resistant, high-performance stainless
• A unique visual pattern in every blade
