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 chef's knife ('Gyuto' in Japanese) is the most versatile blade that can handle almost anything in the kitchen.
