Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
White Sweet Pod Resin Handle – Natural Elegance Encased in Translucent Resin
Sweet Pod root, with its delicate radial structure, is captured in clear resin to preserve the organic intricacies of growth. Soft light flows through the handle, revealing a layered interplay of shape and shadow within. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand, revealing the organic unpredictability of the material in a smooth, durable form that is both decorative and functional.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner is placed between resin and tang, offering internal strength and clean separation of materials. It provides visual clarity and subtle precision to the overall construction.

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
• Artisan VG10 kitchen knife – crafted to elevate daily tasks
