Discover the artistry and precision of master blacksmith Takeshi Saji with the Blue #2 Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 240mm. This knife perfectly blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with an eye-catching design, offering unparalleled performance and aesthetics for both professional chefs and home cooks.
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.

I came to Tokushu looking for a specific knife that turned out to be out of stock, but that actually ended up being a blessing in disguise. I was looking for a heirloom piece to commemorate a milestone, and their access to truly elite blacksmiths. is incredible. I was able to pair a top-tier Takeshi Saji with a custom Cafer Ayan handle that fits my exact taste—something most other shops just don't offer. If you want a generic knife, go anywhere. If you want to build a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with white-glove consultation, go to Tokushu. The experience was next level.
