Patrick Joseph – Paring Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-134)

A Precision Blade with Exotic Beauty and Razor Control
The Patrick Joseph Paring Knife is designed for fine slicing, trimming, and intricate prep — a refined companion to a full-size chef’s knife. Light in the hand but deliberate in action, it excels in tasks that require finesse and clarity. Handmade in Ireland, this model features a deep-toned Cocobolo handle and a layered Suminagashi blade — blending exotic material richness with cutting precision.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Cocobolo Handle – Exotic Hardwood with Natural Oils and Vibrant Colour
Cocobolo is one of the most treasured tonewoods in the world, known for its deep red and orange hues, streaked with dark lines and polished to a luxurious finish. Its natural oil content enhances both durability and comfort — resisting moisture while offering exceptional tactile feedback. Each Cocobolo handle is shaped and finished by hand to highlight its grain, warmth, and sculptural form.

Black Liner – Structural Contrast and Reinforcement
Set between the tang and Cocobolo scales, the black liner provides added durability while giving the handle visual definition. Subtle in appearance, it elevates both the structure and elegance of the finished piece.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Forged Steel with Marbled Character
This blade is crafted using traditional San Mai construction: a VG10 core wrapped in two outer stainless layers. The blade is etched and polished to reveal the Suminagashi pattern — delicate waves formed through the repeated folding and layering of steels with differing carbon content.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• VG10 stainless core – professional-grade hardness and edge retention
• San Mai structure – triple-layer design for flexibility and strength
• Suminagashi wave pattern – forged, not printed, and unique to each blade
• Corrosion-resistant and long-lasting under regular use
• A razor edge, crafted for control and beauty

Built by Hand in Ireland
