Saji Rainbow Damascus Blue #2
Gyuto 270mm. There is no doubt that Takeshi Saji makes some of the best-looking kitchen knives available today. He balances the functional aspects needed in a great blade with the aesthetic appeal sought by many buyers and collectors of fine knives. They are eye-catching but in a restrained way that only adds to their great appeal.
Topping off their range of great-looking knives is the Rainbow Damascus line. These fantastic knives are constructed with a core of Aogami 2 steel which is then hammer-forged with multiple layers of rust-resistant stainless steel, brass, and copper. These added metals give the face that unique rainbow pattern. The knife possesses a perfect dimensional balance of length and height. It also has a 50/50 symmetrical grind that will find favor with most users in both professional and home kitchens.
The
gyuto is fitted with a beautiful rosewood wa octagonal handle. These knives don’t come along very often, so don’t delay if you wish to own a true masterpiece of the blacksmith's art. Please note that Saji San finishes these with a coarse grinding wheel so the blades have small scratches that are part of the finish. This is normal. Feel free to ask us for photos of you’re picky.
