The Takeshi Saji Rainbow Damascus Petty 15 cm is a small format knife with a strong identity, crafted for cooks who appreciate precision, character, and traditional Japanese forging. Its compact size makes it especially well suited for fine preparation work and tasks performed off the cutting board.
Built around an Aogami #2 carbon steel core, the blade delivers long lasting sharpness and a crisp cutting sensation. Stainless steel cladding layered with brass and copper forms the signature Rainbow Damascus pattern, giving the blade depth, movement, and unmistakable visual presence. A hardness of around 63 HRC supports confident and accurate cutting.
The octagonal rosewood handle enhances balance and comfort while maintaining a traditional Japanese feel. Lightweight and well proportioned, the knife feels agile and precise in use.
This model reflects Takeshi Saji’s experimental spirit and his reputation for producing knives that stand apart through craftsmanship, materials, and bold design choices.
