Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Figured Teak Handle – Tropical Hardwood with Rich Grain and Natural Oils
Figured Teak is a tropical hardwood prized for its exceptional resistance to water and dramatic grain. With a high natural oil content and rich golden-brown hues, it offers a warm tone and smooth hand feel even under frequent use. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand, highlighting the variation in grain movement while maximising comfort and grip.

Black Liner – Refined Structure and Elegant Contrast
A black liner is set between the tang and teak, adding strength and a clean visual line that elevates the overall finish of the knife. Durable and understated.

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
