This Santoku in Red Sweet Pod Resin Handle by Patrick Joseph is crafted for chefs and collectors who appreciate balance, detail, and bold material choices. With its agile blade and compact form, it excels in everyday slicing, chopping, and fine preparation.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Red Sweet Pod Resin Handle – Organic Movement in Bold Red Resin
Sweet Pod root, with its swirling cellular structure, is suspended in deep red resin — capturing the wild form of natural growth inside a smooth, stabilised body. The result is an eye-catching and durable handle with both colour and complexity.
Each handle is shaped and polished by hand to reveal unique root textures, preserved beneath a clear, protective finish that feels fluid in the hand and grounded in function.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner sits between the resin and tang, offering vital reinforcement while visually anchoring the vibrant red. It brings balance and subtle precision to the overall design.

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 kitchen knife – handmade for precision and artistry
