Tojiro Shippu Black is a striking new version of the popular Shippu DP Damascus series. It offers a unique, elegantly dark combination of Western-style blades with Japanese handles. The versatile double-edged blades are made of beautiful 63-layer or 37-layer Damascus-style stainless steel with a hard cobalt alloy core. In order to highlight the signature ripple effect, the surface of the multi-layer material is treated with a black oxide coating, which also greatly improves the corrosion resistance and long-term performance of the blade. The fire-hardened chestnut handles are secured with extra-durable resin ferrules and perfectly complement the blackened blades. The wood is covered with a clear coat of varnish to increase its water-resistance and reduce discoloration.
Extremely sharp and precisely balanced, Tojiro Shippu Black knives are designed for professional chefs and provide an effective alternative to classic knife styles.
