Takeshi Saji Blue #2 Rainbow Damascus Bunka

Takeshi Saji, a name synonymous with the renowned Takefu Knife Village, is a celebrated founding member alongside other knife-making legends such as Katsushige Anryu and Masami Asai. This village is dedicated to the art of creating exceptional kitchen knives.

Known for his exquisite Damascus patterns, especially the Rainbow Damascus, Saji-san presents another stunning option for those who favor monochromatic tones. The Diamond Damascus line exemplifies his mastery in creating diverse patterns using high-quality steels.

The Bunka style knife, akin to a santoku with a flatter belly and a reverse tanto tip (k-tip), excels in precision tasks such as scoring onions or garlic, as well as push/pull cutting techniques. This 180mm blade offers a comfortable grip, even for those new to this knife style.
