The Tojiro Shippu Black Peeling knife 7 cm aka Bird's Beak, is the classic
tool for making decorative cuts, as well as for cutting out blemishes,
peeling, and slicing soft fruits.
The curved shape lets you cut close to the peel, keeping more of the fruit or vegetable you’re peeling.
The
Bird's Beak is also called the Tournée knife for the highly sculpted
tournée cut that this precise little knife makes possible.
It's a specialty knife to be sure, yet it is an essential part of the knife collection.
The Tojiro Shippu Black is a new, extremely attractive version of the best-selling Shippu DP Damascus knife series.
The unique combination of west style blades with Japanese style handles now has a stylish, darkened robe.
Practical blades of 24° with a double cut made of high quality Damascus steel: 37 layers of stainless steel, protecting the hard core of VG-10 steel, an extremely hard core alloy with the addition of cobalt, hardened to a hardness of 60+/-1 HRC Rockwell, developed by Takefu industries.
The core is clad with 18 layers on each side with a softer, corrosion-resistant 13-chrome steel.
The effect of the waves propagating on the blade is highlighted by a black oxide coating formed in the oxidation of steel.
This solution increases the life of the knife and its resistance to corrosion.
Handles blend beautifully with the blackened steel.
The Shippu Black series consists of traditional Japanese shaped knives. The relatively large traditional D-handle on these knives is made from light-weight tempered chestnut wood, reinforced with a resin ring.
Because they are also protected with transparent varnish, they show high resistance to moisture and discoloration.
