Product description
Master Takeshi Saji, known for his eye-catching and extravagant knives, played on the golden-orange hues of his now almost signature rainbow damascus finish and matched them with a striking cow bone handle. The latter might not be for everybody, but it makes this knife a very special piece. Etched tiger stripes flowing along the handle give the knife a primal look, and it has just as big an appetite for food as a hungry tiger waiting on its prey.
This fiery knife is not just an art piece to admire though, as it's still a great performer made of superior stainless VG-10 steel. So put it behind glass, show it to your friends, but make sure to use it as well!
STEEL:
VG-10 (V for Vanadium, G for "gold" as in "gold standard") is made by Takefu Special Steel Company, a relatively small steel company that around 60 years ago managed to find just the right balance of different elements to create the most popular Japanese knife making steel today. VG-10 steel is stainless steel with relatively high Carbon (C) content (1%), 15% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.3% Vanadium (V) and 1.5% Cobalt (Co). The combination of Cr, Mo, and V forms a lot of hard carbides, making the steel abrasion resistant, which translates to long-lasting, smooth sharpness.
BLADE FINISH:
Beautiful rainbow-colored Damascus pattern was achieved by adding brass and copper to the outer, protective layers of the blade.
HANDLE:
This gyuto was fitted with a daring western style (Yo) handle made out of cow bone, which had pigments added to it to achieve a flashy orange color.
