Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Padauk Handle – Vibrant Strength with Fiery Red Hue
Padauk is a tropical hardwood known for its bold reddish-orange hue and interlocking grain. It is both visually striking and structurally durable, offering a vibrant aesthetic that doesn’t compromise on strength. Each Padauk handle is shaped and polished by hand to bring out the natural fire of the wood — resulting in a tactile, eye-catching grip that stands out in both use and display.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner between tang and timber enhances the internal strength of the knife while creating a refined contrast with the intense tone of the Padauk. It’s a subtle but powerful design feature, reinforcing both structure and style.

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 and built to inspire

The Shamrock Pin – A Mark of Irish Craftsmanship
