Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Padauk Wood Handle – Vivid Colour and Structural Integrity
Padauk is a tropical hardwood known for its rich orange-red hues and strength. With natural oils that resist moisture and wear, it combines long-lasting performance with striking visual appeal. Each handle is hand-shaped and finished to bring out the bold grain and vibrant character of the wood, making every knife visually distinct and highly functional.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner rests between tang and timber, improving the structural integrity of the handle and providing a strong, crisp transition beneath the bold Padauk tones. It sharpens the aesthetic and fortifies the construction.

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 – designed for precision and built to last
