Patrick Joseph – Santoku Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-077)

A Signature Santoku for Precision, Comfort, and Identity
This Santoku by Patrick Joseph is built for those who seek clarity, creativity, and a distinct sense of origin in the tools they choose. With its agile profile and responsive handling, it excels in precise daily work — from fine slicing to confident chopping. Rooted in the Japanese Santoku tradition and brought to life through Irish craftsmanship, this handmade kitchen knife merges form, function, and storytelling. At the centre of its handle lies the Shamrock Pin — a quiet symbol of authenticity and origin.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
White Sweet Pod Resin Handle – Organic Detail Suspended in Light Resin
This handle features white-toned Sweet Pod root, set in a softly translucent resin that captures its natural complexity. Delicate root structures spiral and stretch within the form, preserved forever beneath a glass-like surface. Each handle is sculpted and polished by hand, allowing the flow of nature to guide the visual narrative of each unique piece.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner sits between tang and resin, enhancing the knife’s internal strength while introducing subtle visual balance. It frames the resin’s tones and provides clean definition within the design.

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
• VG10 kitchen knife – made for daily excellence
