Some people think that the Saji Rainbow Damascus knife is the most beautiful knife made. It is hard to disagree with them. The unique multi-colored Damascus is created by using alternating layers of rust-resistant stainless steel, brass, and copper. These added metals give the face that stunning rainbow pattern. But the beauty of these knives is more than skin deep. Takeshi Saji forges and finishes his blades with consummate care and attention to detail. His design, profile, and grinds are as well executed as his aesthetics.
These amazing knives are constructed with a core of Aogami 2 steel, which is clad with the Damascus steel in the san-mai style. The inner core is obviously prone to corrosion at the edge if not dried and cleaned carefully.
In true Saji fashion, the blade is coupled to a good quality rosewood octagonal handle. It also comes in a nice wooden box for storage.Makers: Saji san and Nomura san
