The Japanese knives in the SHIPPU BLACK range are the very embodiment of the Tojiro brand's expertise! They offer a balanced blend of traditional Japanese style and innovation. To go into detail, the blades are made of VG10 steel, an alloy with a fine reputation in the cutlery world, which keeps a pronounced edge for a long time. In fact, its hardness index reaches 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, synonymous with a long-lasting, effective edge! The cutting surface of the Shippu Black knife features an attractive damascus print that adds character, complemented by a light dark veil for even more originality. Finally, the handles of these knives are made from chestnut. This wood is scalded to make it remarkably resistant and rot-proof. It is then completed by a black polypropylene bolster for lightness and hygiene. Don't hesitate to discover all the Tojiro Shippu Black knife models we have to offer!
