✨ Hatsukokoro Kujaku (孔雀, Peacock) V-Toku 2 Rainbow Damascus Series✨
A stunning new series taking Rainbow Damascus to another level 🦚 At the core of the Kujaku is Takefu V-Toku 2, a high-performance semi-stainless carbon steel offering excellent edge retention, a fine cutting edge, and working hardness up to around HRC 64. But the real showstopper is the Rainbow Damascus. Layers of steel, copper and brass are carefully etched to reveal striking metallic tones of purple, gold and silver, creating a shimmering finish inspired by the feathers of a peacock. Beyond its appearance, the Kujaku features a thin, slightly convex geometry with an acute carbon-steel edge for smooth, precise cutting. The stainless cladding and etched surface also make it easier to maintain than a traditional fully carbon-steel blade.

• Petty 150mm
