Takeshi Saji Blue #2 240mm Rainbow Gyuto with Cow Horn Handle

Overview Forged in Echizen by Takeshi Saji—a designated Traditional Master Craftsman—this 240 mm Rainbow Damascus Gyuto marries a razor-tuned Blue #2 (Aogami #2) carbon-steel core with shimmering stainless, copper, and brass layers that create the signature “rainbow” wave.
