Rainbow Damascus Japanese chef knives

Rainbow Damascus steel used in Japanese knives is most commonly forged in Echizen, Japan, and is known for its vibrant layered patterns created by combining stainless and nickel alloys.

The blades are etched and polished to highlight flowing, multi-toned lines that give a unique, iridescent look.

While the core is typically made from high-performance stainless steels like VG10 or SG2 it's also possible to pair carbon steels with the outer Damascus layers to offer strength, corrosion resistance, and a striking design that makes each knife both functional and visually distinctive.
