Patrick Joseph – Santoku Knife (SKU: PJHMKK-081)

A Signature Santoku for Precision, Comfort, and Heritage
This VG10 Santoku by Patrick Joseph is designed for those who seek harmony in materials, origin, and function. Agile, versatile, and purposefully crafted, it excels in everyday slicing, chopping, and precise preparation. Inspired by Japanese knife form and handmade in Ireland, this kitchen knife brings together a native Irish hardwood, layered Japanese steel, and a national symbol — the Shamrock Pin — into one refined cutting tool.

Material Excellence, Tailored by Hand
Irish Walnut Handle – Native Elegance with Subtle Grain and Warm Tone
Sourced from Ireland, Irish Walnut is a locally grown hardwood known for its soft colour gradients, smooth feel, and understated beauty. It offers strength, stability, and a deep connection to place — elevating this blade beyond function to become an expression of heritage. Each handle is shaped and polished by hand, preserving the wood’s fine grain and delivering a comfortable, balanced grip.

Red Liner – Reinforced Core with Bold Contrast
A red liner rests between the tang and handle scales, adding structural integrity and a visual lift beneath the warm tones of the walnut. It enhances the handle’s performance while bringing a refined pop of colour into the composition.

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 performance, beauty, and reliability

The Shamrock Pin – A Mark of Irish Craftsmanship
