Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Padauk Handle – Bold Colour and Tropical Strength
Padauk is a tropical hardwood known for its fiery orange-red hues and interlocking grain structure. Highly durable and naturally resistant to wear and moisture, it’s both visually dynamic and structurally strong. Each Padauk handle is hand-shaped and polished to highlight the depth of colour and texture, resulting in a unique tool that is as functional as it is expressive.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner lies between tang and timber, providing added structural strength and clean visual separation. It complements the bold tone of the handle while supporting the blade’s performance integrity.

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 – designed for subtle precision and visual expression

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 VG10 layered steel knife that performs flawlessly and endures through time.
