Patrick Joseph – Santoku Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-059)

A Signature Santoku Honouring Irish Timber and Japanese Balance
This Santoku by Patrick Joseph is built for those who appreciate heritage, sharpness, and harmony in hand. Balanced and versatile, it’s ideal for chopping, slicing, and everyday preparation — a companion to the chef who works with precision.
Modelled on the traditional Japanese Santoku profile and realised with Irish-grown hardwoods, this knife speaks to a deeper origin. The Wa handle design offers a sleek, tapered profile that brings lightness and clarity to every movement.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Irish Ash and Walnut Wa Handle – Native Timber in Sculpted Wa Form
This handle fuses Irish Ash with deep-toned Walnut, embracing native materials to form a unique Wa-style silhouette. Irish Ash brings brightness and strength, while Walnut introduces natural depth and tone.
Each handle is turned and shaped by hand with attention to grain flow and junction finish — designed to feel light in the hand, but grounded in performance.

Red Spacer – Delicate Separation with Structural Detail
A red spacer between timber segments introduces both structure and colour — reinforcing the bond while adding a delicate contrast line between the woods. Functional and visual refinement.

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
