Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Texas Osage Handle – Golden-Hued Hardwood with Exceptional Strength
Texas Osage is a dense, fine-grained hardwood known for its luminous yellow hue and remarkable toughness. Naturally rich in oil and resistant to wear, it provides a firm, reliable grip that feels warm in the hand and endures the demands of daily use. Each handle is shaped and finished by hand, allowing the timber’s natural tone and clarity to shine through — every piece with its own glow and grain.

Black Liner – Structural Contrast with Subtle Sophistication
A black liner between the tang and timber adds critical internal stability while enhancing the knife’s silhouette. It provides strength to the build and quiet contrast to the brightness of the Osage.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Forged Steel with Natural Flow
At the core of the blade lies VG10 stainless steel — a Japanese alloy praised for its fine edge, corrosion resistance, and daily cutting power. Laminated in the San Mai tradition, it features a hardened core with softer steel outer layers for durability and resilience. The etched blade surface reveals the forged Suminagashi pattern — flowing, wave-like marbling formed through repeated layering of steel with varying carbon content.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• Razor-sharp edge with exceptional retention
• Triple-layer San Mai construction for structural strength
• VG10 stainless core – professional performance with longevity
• Forged Suminagashi wave pattern – unique to each blade
• High corrosion resistance – suitable for high-frequency kitchen use
