Patrick Joseph – Santoku Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-076)

A Signature Santoku for Precision, Comfort, and Identity
This Santoku by Patrick Joseph is designed for chefs and collectors who seek bold design, refined cutting ability, and a knife that feels as distinctive as it looks. With its versatile, compact form and finely tuned blade, it excels in everyday kitchen tasks while honouring craft, story, and visual artistry. Inspired by Japanese knife profiles and crafted in Ireland, this handmade kitchen knife merges tradition with material innovation. The Shamrock Pin inlaid at the handle’s centre marks it as a genuine expression of Irish craftsmanship.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
White Pine Cone Resin Handle – Natural Texture Encased in Luminous Resin
The handle captures the wild, organic form of white pine cone suspended in translucent resin — revealing intricate cell structures and radial textures. Each handle becomes a window into nature, sealed in a stable, resilient medium. Shaped and polished by hand, the surface flows smoothly while preserving natural asymmetries within — no two handles are alike.

Black Liner – Reinforced Core with Elegant Contrast
A black liner provides both contrast and structural stability, separating resin from tang and delivering clarity to the handle’s layered construction. Visually refined and functionally critical.

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 – crafted for daily performance and lasting refinement

The Shamrock Pin – A Mark of Irish Craftsmanship
