Tojiro Shippu Black

Shippu (疾風)—a gale.

Tojiro Shippu blades combine state-of-the-art VG-10 cobalt-alloy core steel with a jacket of legendary Damascus steel to take your kitchen to the next level. Slightly harder and lighter than the Tojiro Zen series, Shippu knives boast supreme performance and edge retention. The razor-sharp blade is hafted to a handle of fire-blackened chestnut wood to create an elegantly simple, supremely functional knife. Shippu Black knives are treated with an anodized black oxide finish for additional protection.
