Pateru - Japanese Knife Company

Pateru – Tradition Refined for the Modern Cook

Pateru was born in a renowned workshop in Seki City, the historic heart of Japanese knife making. Each knife is expertly crafted, reflecting generations of skill and a deep respect for tradition.

Created to meet the exacting standards of passionate cooks, this refined collection blends exceptional performance with timeless elegance.

Pateru – Honouring heritage, perfecting every cut.

At the core of each blade lies Aogami #2 steel—also known as Blue Paper Steel—a revered high-carbon material celebrated for its outstanding sharpness, superior edge retention, and ability to take an exceptionally fine edge. Encased in a protective layer of stainless steel, the blade offers both the unrivalled cutting power of traditional carbon steel and the practicality of modern corrosion resistance, reducing the need for extensive upkeep.

Yet the brilliance of the Pateru Aogami 2 collection extends beyond performance alone. Every knife is adorned with a traditional Japanese octagonal handle, precision-shaped from refined hardwoods to ensure a secure, comfortable grip and enduring elegance. The thoughtful contrast between the dark, hand-forged core and the satin-finished cladding evokes a quiet sophistication—an aesthetic expression of the craftsmanship within.

These knives are more than culinary tools; they are the continuation of a time-honoured legacy, expertly adapted for the contemporary kitchen. The Pateru Aogami 2 series embodies a seamless fusion of old-world mastery and modern functionality, delivering timeless beauty and uncompromising precision with every cut.

Exquisite. Enduring. Unmistakably Japanese.
