Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Redheart Handle – Vivid Colour, Strength, and Uniqueness
Redheart is a rare Central American hardwood known for its striking reddish-pink tone and fine, even grain. Durable, stable, and naturally moisture-resistant, it offers both visual impact and long-lasting strength.
Each handle is shaped and polished by hand to highlight the wood’s vibrant character — ensuring a finish that stands out and performs.

Black Liner – Refined Structure and Elegant Contrast
A black liner sits between tang and timber, reinforcing the structural bond while creating subtle visual depth beneath the vivid tones of the Redheart.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Layered Steel, Unique to Each Blade
At the core of this Santoku 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

The Shamrock Pin – A Mark of Irish Craftsmanship
