Welcome to Patrick Joseph: The Evolution of Craftsmanship

Patrick Joseph is the prestigious evolution of Brennan Knives, a brand renowned for its high-performance, bespoke knives and exquisite jewellery. Founded by Patrick Brennan in County Kilkenny, Ireland, the journey from Brennan Knives to Patrick Joseph is a story of passion, resilience, and exceptional craftsmanship.

The Journey from Brennan Knives

Patrick Brennan's fascination with knives and jewellery began early, but it was a life-changing accident in 2010 that set him on the path to becoming a master craftsman. As part of his rehabilitation, Patrick discovered the therapeutic power of crafting, which reignited his passion and led him to pursue knife making seriously.

To perfect his skills, Patrick trained with some of the world's best knifemakers and bladesmiths, including legends like Gil and Wes Hibben, and Master Bladesmiths Lin Rhea, Murray Carter, and Tommy Gann. His dedication to the craft was further solidified when he joined the American Bladesmith Society in 2016, and later, after rigorous evaluation, was accepted into the Knife Makers Guild in 2018.

The Birth of Patrick Joseph

In 2019, Patrick expanded his horizons by enrolling in the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland’s Jewellery and Goldsmithing Skills & Design Course. This prestigious program allowed him to integrate advanced jewellery-making techniques into his knife designs, transforming functional tools into pieces of art.

The rebranding to Patrick Joseph signifies this fusion of traditional knife-making with high-end jewellery craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring the highest quality and unique design tailored to the client's needs.

Crafting Excellence

Patrick Joseph knives are more than just tools; they are functional art pieces designed with precision and aesthetic appeal. Using premium materials like Damasteel, high-carbon steels, and rare handle materials such as bog oak, mammoth ivory, and precious metals, Patrick creates knives that are both beautiful and practical.

Every knife goes through a rigorous crafting process, ensuring superior performance and longevity. The designs are informed by Patrick's extensive training and the specific requirements of his clients, resulting in bespoke pieces that are treasured by chefs, collectors, and knife enthusiasts worldwide.
