Tojiro Petty Black Damascus 90mm (3.5″)

TOJIRO Petty Black Damascus 90mm, sometimes also called a paring knife, is a small and highly versatile kitchen knife. Paring knives offer more dexterity, precision, and maneuverability than the larger, multi-purpose knives, therefore its main tasks are peeling, slicing, and trimming.

The TOJIRO SHIPPU Black collection is the same in shape to the original light colored Shippu series, but very noticeably differs from it with the black look of the handle and the blade. 

The blade’s core is made out of VG-10 (61 HRC) steel and is fortified by 36 layered Damascus pattern. The black sheen and enhanced lines of the Damascus are a result of processing the blade with black iron oxide. The edge is angled at 15 degrees which improves cutting agility and ease of sharpening/honing.

The Japanese handle also contributes to the character of this collection. It’s made of burnt chestnut wood and reinforced with a sturdy resin ferrule. The wood is beautified and protected with a transparent stain to enhance its water-resistance. Additionally, a fire surface treatment improves its water resistance. The handle has an emphasized angle for a better grip, which makes it more suitable for right-handed users.
