NIJI, meaning “rainbow” in Japanese, represents a unique fusion of artistry and performance. Its core of premium 12Cr18MoV steel is artfully sandwiched between 37 layers of stainless steel, brass, and copper, creating mesmerising patterns that make each knife truly unique. Like a rainbow appearing after rain, each blade reveals stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns that catch the light differently with every angle. While positioned just below our SHIN line in performance, NIJI offers an unmatched aesthetic experience that transforms your kitchen into a gallery. The layered construction doesn’t just create beautiful patterns – it contributes to excellent edge retention and incredible cutting performance. Perfect for those who view cooking as both a culinary and visual art form, and want their knives to be conversation pieces as well as high-performance tools.
