Patrick Joseph – Paring Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-133)

A Precision Paring Knife with Exotic Strength and Flow
The Paring Knife by Patrick Joseph is crafted for meticulous tasks — from peeling and segmenting fruit to trimming herbs and preparing garnishes. Its compact blade geometry delivers exceptional control and sharpness at close range, where detail matters most. Handmade in Ireland and forged in Suminagashi San Mai VG10, this piece pairs exotic density with blade artistry — designed for both performance and refinement.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Granadillo Handle – Exotic Hardness with Deep Natural Tone
Granadillo is a Central American hardwood renowned for its deep reddish-brown hue, density, and ultra-fine grain. As hard as it is beautiful, Granadillo is highly resistant to wear and moisture, making it a perfect choice for culinary tools. Each handle is shaped, polished, and hand-finished to preserve the wood’s clarity and comfort — built to last and age gracefully.

Black Liner – Subtle Reinforcement and Design Contrast
A slim black liner sits between the tang and the Granadillo scale, adding internal strength while giving the handle definition. This small structural element makes a lasting impact on durability and visual elegance.

Suminagashi San Mai VG10 – Steel with Artistry and Strength
At the heart of the blade lies a VG10 core, forged using the Japanese San Mai method — a process that sandwiches the core steel between two outer layers for balance and toughness. The blade is etched and polished to reveal a Suminagashi wave pattern, created by folding steel with varying carbon content to form flowing marbled lines.

Key Attributes of Suminagashi San Mai VG10 Steel:
• VG10 core – Japanese stainless steel with sharpness and edge retention
• San Mai construction – layered for strength, flexibility, and longevity
• Suminagashi pattern – created through forging, not printing
• High corrosion resistance and visual elegance
• Razor-sharp and made for everyday kitchen use
