Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Rosewood Handle – Timeless Elegance, Strength, and Warmth
Rosewood is renowned for its rich, reddish-brown tone and consistent density. Naturally durable and moisture-resistant, it offers a warm tactile experience in hand and a classic finish that never goes out of style. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand, preserving the natural beauty of the timber while ensuring comfort, grip, and durability.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner sits between the handle and tang, enhancing the structural bond and adding a clean contrast to the deep tone of the Rosewood. Visually subtle and mechanically essential.

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 – precision-forged for trusted performance
