Patrick Joseph – Petty Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-100)

A Signature Petty Knife for Control, Clarity, and Bold Character
This Petty Knife by Patrick Joseph is designed for those who demand accuracy, speed, and a unique visual identity in a utility blade. With a fine tip and agile movement, it handles delicate prep work, slicing herbs, peeling, and detail trimming with ease. Handmade in Ireland, it pairs the fiery tones of Redheart hardwood with flowing layered steel, offering beauty and performance in perfect balance.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Redheart Handle – Vibrant Hardwood with Striking Hue and Strength
Redheart is a bold tropical hardwood known for its vivid cherry-to-crimson hue, fine grain, and durability. Its natural strength and shock resistance make it ideal for a lightweight, high-impact knife handle. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand, allowing the vibrant colour and satin finish to reflect both individuality and control.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner provides essential reinforcement between the handle and tang, while offering a striking contrast to the intense red tones of the Redheart. It delivers both structure and subtle design balance.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Layered Steel, Unique to Each Blade
At the core of the petty knife’s 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 – crafted for clarity and elegance in movement
