Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Gonçalo Alves Handle – Exotic Hardwood with Bold Grain and Structural Integrity
Gonçalo Alves, also known as Tigerwood, is a tropical hardwood prized for its contrasting colour bands and natural resilience. Its high density and moisture resistance ensure lasting performance, while its vivid grain patterns bring bold character to the handle. Each scale is shaped and polished by hand, bringing out the hardwood’s richness and delivering a strong, reliable grip that’s as visually dynamic as it is functional.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner rests between tang and timber, offering structural reinforcement and clean visual separation. It enhances the handle’s stability while subtly elevating the overall composition of the knife.

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 petty knife – made to perform with finesse and style
