Blade that stands out The Shippu Black blade is made of Damascus stainless steel, renowned for centuries for its sharpness and durability, but also for the striking appearance created by its distinctive "waves" that make each knife literally unique. More specifically, the blade core consists of the innovative Japanese stainless steel VG10 alloy, characteristic for its hardness due to its cobalt content, which is enclosed by separate layers of Damascus steel, thus enhancing the stiffness and durability of the knife. Each Shippu Black is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to get a really sharp blade.

Comfortable wooden handle The first part of the knife you come in contact with is the handle. The handle of the Shippu Black gives the feeling of the warm and comfortable grip that is characteristic of wood. It is made of chestnut wood, a hard wood that is durable in constant and hard use, as well as in contact with food and kitchen materials. The round handle makes the knife comfortable and practical from any angle, allowing you to use its sharp blade in just about any direction you want. The wooden handle fits harmoniously with the metal of the blade and tightly ties it into the collar with resin.

Master of Blades recommends avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Soft steel knives need stone grinding more often, but they can also revert to their previous condition temporarily with the use of a sharpener steel.
