Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Blue Sweet Pod Resin Handle – Botanical Structure in Translucent Blue Resin
The handle is formed from stabilised Sweet Pod root suspended in clear blue resin, preserving its natural internal structure in a modern and durable form. Light moves through the handle, revealing intricate organic shapes that feel alive beneath the surface. Each handle is shaped and finished by hand, making every piece visually distinct and functionally refined.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner sits between tang and resin, delivering essential structural integrity and a clean break beneath the fluid tones of the resin. It refines the handle’s construction both visually and mechanically.

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 – built for daily excellence
