Experience the Art of Takeshi Saji - VG10-W Nashiji Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 210mm

The Takeshi Saji VG10-W Nashiji Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 210mm is a knife that earns its place on the magnetic strip and never leaves it. Takeshi Saji is one of Japan's most celebrated custom knife makers - known for his rainbow Damascus cladding, which produces a striking, iridescent pattern that is as much art as it is metallurgy. The VG10-W core delivers the performance: 61 HRC, a fine edge, and excellent edge retention in a stainless steel that is practical for everyday use.

Rainbow Damascus - Where Performance Meets Art

Takeshi Saji's rainbow Damascus cladding is achieved through a heat-treatment process that produces a spectrum of colours across the blade surface - no two knives are identical. The VG10-W core is a high-performance stainless steel at 61 HRC, capable of taking a very fine edge while remaining practical for everyday kitchen use. The octagon dark maple and sherry handle is elegant and comfortable in hand. At 210mm and 200g, this gyuto has the presence of a serious chef's knife and the beauty of a collector's piece.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
• The rainbow Damascus surface is a heat treatment - avoid abrasive cleaners that may dull the finish
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones - VG10 responds well to fine stones
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers
