There can be little doubt that the Saji Rainbow Damascus line of kitchen knives are among the most beautifully designed and realized knives on the market. The unique pattern is obtained by using layers made from rust-resistant stainless steel, brass, and copper. This damascus is applied to a core of Hitachi Blue paper #2 steel in the san-mai style. The blade is attached to a finely crafted stainless steel bolster and the handle secured to the hidden tang with two stainless rivets and a lovely mosaic pin. This knife is pure art.

But it is also a cutting champ in all regards. Saji knows how to make a knife perform as well as look. This knife has a wonderful thin grind behind the edge which translates to an amazing cutting ability. It has a deft feel and tall blade which endow the knife with a great deal of versatility.

Santoku translates to three virtues and the acts of slicing, chopping, and dicing are tackled with ease by this design. Many western chefs and home cooks look to the santoku as their go-to blade for many general cutting tasks. We think the Saji Rainbow Damascus Santoku is a beautiful melding of form and function.

CKTG is at heart a small business so the service is personal. They are one of the rare companies that actually dispatch the order the same day as receiving it and provide tracking information. It is great to deal with an individual by name and it�s evident that they take pride and love in what they do.

Had a problem with one of the products and they went out of their way to resolve. I would highly recommend dealing with this company. It�s nice to find a company who cares and they will get me as a return customer.

Mark is great at answering questions for knife nuts of all levels. His service is second to none. Really appreciate the time he puts into every email as well as the free forum he hosts.

Great experience working with Chef Knives to Go. Quick delivery, and they are great about returning emails. I'm actually waiting on my second knife from them. I'm sure there will be more to come.
