Description & specifications
Takeshi Saji is a living legend in knifemaking. He achieved huge recognition for hunting knives, but has since taken his talent and shifted his focus to kitchen knives. He is best known for his very complex and extravagant Damascus finishes, and even though he is now in his 70s, he still manages to 'wow' the knife world with his innovative ways of forging.
These knives have a 'rainbow' damascus cladding, which is inlaid with treated copper and brass, which gives these beautiful colors on the cladding - incredibly beautiful craftsmanship.
The handle is a western-style (YO) made of Ironwood from Arizona.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
