Their application of the dye presents a beautiful contrast with gradients seamlessly transitioning from darker tones to lighter tones. And because this is a natural process, each handle and saya has its own unique look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe benefits of indigo aside from aesthetics is that it has anti-bacterial and deodorizing properties that will prevent the handles and says from going rancid. Each piece has also been reinforced with waterproof coating to preserve the colour. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA slicer ('Sujiihki' in Japanese) is a valuable tool for skinning, trimming and\/or portioning protein items (filet of salmon or turkey breast).
