Patrick Joseph – Petty Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-099)

A Signature Petty Knife for Agility, Expression, and Cultural Integrity
This Petty Knife by Patrick Joseph is crafted for control, balance, and refined slicing in tight spaces. Whether peeling, trimming, or fine slicing, its compact form brings speed and agility to everyday prep. Handmade in Ireland, this piece blends two native Irish timbers with handforged high-carbon San Mai steel — a knife that delivers authenticity, performance, and visual beauty in equal measure.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Irish Walnut & Ash Handle – Paired Native Timbers with Textural Contrast
This Wa-style handle features Irish-grown walnut and ash — two timbers selected for their contrast in tone, texture, and weight. Walnut brings dark richness and warmth, while ash offers a pale, open-grain structure that adds tactile balance.
The result is a handle that is both elegant and symbolic — combining two Irish materials in a single, refined form.

Red Spacer – Structural Reinforcement with Striking Visual Accent
A red liner is placed between tang and timber, providing critical internal support while adding a strong visual punctuation between materials. It heightens the sense of intentional craftsmanship and strengthens the knife’s composition.

Handforged 15n20 and 1095 San Mai – Toughness, Edge, and Visual Character
Forged by hand using the San Mai method, this blade features a high-carbon 1095 steel core with outer layers of 15n20. The forging process gives the blade a natural grain, hammered finish, and subtle topography — every piece unique. Ideal for fine slicing, trimming, and daily culinary work, it offers high edge retention, toughness, and visible evidence of the hand that made it.

Key Attributes of 15n20 x 1095 San Mai Steel:
• High-carbon edge for precision sharpness
• San Mai layering for durability and flexibility
• Visible handforged texture – a blade with true character
