Rainbow Damascus: A Visual and Functional Masterpiece

The stunning Rainbow Damascus cladding is created by layering stainless steel, copper, and brass over a core of Aogami Blue #2 steel. This unique combination not only delivers exceptional edge retention and sharpness but also results in a breathtaking visual effect. Each blade is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, showcasing a vivid, iridescent pattern that is as functional as it is beautiful.

The core Blue #2 steel is revered for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge while remaining easy to sharpen. It is hardened to an impressive 62-63 HRC, ensuring long-lasting performance with proper care. The 50/50 symmetrical grind provides versatility and ease of use for both left- and right-handed users.

Perfectly Balanced Design

This gyuto features a meticulously balanced profile with dimensions ideal for all-around kitchen tasks. The generous blade height and edge length offer precision and control, while the moderately thin spine enhances maneuverability. The knife's balance point aligns naturally with a pinch grip, making it comfortable for extended use.

Elegant Handle and Customization

The knife is paired with a beautiful Wa octagonal handle crafted from Rosewood, offering a comfortable grip and adding to the knife's overall elegance.
