Building upon our expertise in making traditional VG-10 Damascus steel blades, ‘Flame’ embodies a new level of quality and opulence. Rainbow Damascus steel is a captivating variation of traditional Damascus steel, defined by its swirling patterns and multi-coloured finish. Developed from traditional techniques often reserved for the most esteemed Japanese bladesmiths, our blades come alive with a mesmeric display of copper and brass folded through the steel, creating a shimmering ripple reminiscent of flickering flames and burning embers. Beyond its visual allure, Rainbow Damascus Steel possesses exceptional performance. The VG-10 Steel core possesses supreme strength and durability expected from Katana Saya.

Razor sharp edges are sharpened to a 15° angle, attaining a Rockwell Hardness of 60-61 - A rating that stands up against any professional knife. The blades are forged using time-honoured techniques, layering and folding copper and brass between the steel. The result is a knife of unparalleled craftsmanship, remarkable sharpness, excellent edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. The natural olivewood handles unite the warm tones prevailing through the veins of the steel. The octagonal shape draws from the traditional handles fitted to bespoke knives from esteemed Japanese bladesmiths. The lightweight but durable shape has become a common favourite amongst professional chefs.
