Patrick Joseph – Gyuto Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-060)

A Signature Gyuto for Precision, Balance, and Identity

From meticulous slicing to robust preparation, it offers sharpness, balance, and flow in every movement — bringing intention and beauty to daily work.

At its centre is a Commemorative Japanese Pin — a mark of honour and a moment of shared cultural recognition.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Dark Brown Resin with Pine Cone – Natural Texture Encased in Resin
This handle is made from stabilised pine cone suspended in dark brown resin — combining the natural, chaotic texture of organic growth with the clarity and strength of modern material. The result is a unique visual composition that balances wild form and sleek finish.
Each handle is shaped and polished by hand to showcase the embedded cone structures and deep earthy tone of the resin — a tactile, artistic material like no other.

Black Liner – Refined Structure and Elegant Contrast
A black liner between tang and handle strengthens the construction while adding a sharp contrast beneath the layered texture of the resin. Subtle and stabilising.

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

Built by Hand in Ireland
Every Patrick Joseph knife is built by hand in Ireland, guided by a commitment to precision, discipline, and detail. The process is deliberate, the standards exacting — resulting in a Suminagashi San Mai VG10 knife that performs flawlessly and endures through time.

The Commemorative Japanese Pin – A Mark of International Distinction
