Where this sits
In Koi's cutting scissors lineup the Koi Rainbow Titanium occupies the entry-level band, priced between the Koi Elegance and the Koi Leap.
The Rainbow Titanium applies a multi-tone titanium coating over the standard 440C Japanese forged steel body, producing the colour spectrum visible across the blade and handle surfaces. The offset handle and convex blade are the same configuration as the Extreme range.
Available in a single 5.0” size. The titanium coating adds surface hardness and provides a degree of corrosion resistance, though the cutting edge on a convex blade remains uncoated steel.
Performance spec matches the rest of Koi’s offset convex line; the distinction is the finish.

Professional Opinion
The rainbow titanium coating is the visible difference here, adding surface hardness and a degree of corrosion resistance over the 440C forged body. Underneath, the offset handle and convex blade follow Koi's standard cutting spec, familiar performance, with a finish that makes a statement.
