Patrick Joseph – Santoku Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-114)

A Signature Santoku for Flow, Structure, and Tactile Elegance
This Santoku Knife by Patrick Joseph is tailored for precision, agility, and everyday rhythm in the kitchen. Ideal for fine slicing, dicing, and prep work, the Santoku’s flatter belly and pointed tip offer control and fluidity in tight, focused movements. Handmade in Ireland, this knife pairs the visual intensity of Bocote with the forged layers of Suminagashi VG10 — a harmony of natural material and high-performance steel designed to inspire confidence in the cut.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Bocote Handle – Exotic Hardwood with Striking Contrast and Natural Oil Content
Bocote is a dense Central American hardwood prized for its bold, high-contrast grain and rich golden-brown tone. Naturally oily and stable, it resists movement and moisture while offering visual drama and organic warmth.
Each handle is hand-shaped and polished to reveal its swirling pattern and tight grain, making each knife visually distinctive and enduring in the hand.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Refined Transition
A black liner between the tang and Bocote scale offers critical reinforcement and a clean visual line. It enhances structural integrity while elevating the overall form.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Forged Steel with Strength and Flow
The blade is constructed from San Mai steel, with a VG10 stainless core flanked by softer stainless layers. This technique enhances durability and performance while allowing the blade to maintain its razor-sharp edge. Etched to reveal the Suminagashi pattern — forged waves of layered steel — the surface is not just decoration, but a mark of process, pressure, and refined balance.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Fine edge retention for daily prep and precise cutting
• San Mai construction for blade strength and responsiveness
• VG10 stainless core – engineered for performance and corrosion resistance
• Suminagashi pattern – forged from layered carbon variations
• Unique marbling in every blade – no two alike

The Shamrock Pin – A Signature of Irish Craftsmanship
Set into the centre of the handle is the Shamrock Pin — a symbol of the Patrick Joseph identity. Representing Irish making, pride, and tradition, it marks this blade as part of a considered lineage of handmade excellence.

Built by Hand in Ireland
