Tojiro Bird’s Beak Paring Black Damascus 70mm (2.8″)

TOJIRO Bird’s Beak Paring Black Damascus knife is mostly used in a professional kitchen for peeling or carving fruits and vegetables and is especially essential to tourne vegetables (a French staple technique). It will come in handy in a home kitchen too, especially with peeling spherical fruits and veggies, although the standard shaped paring/petty knife should also do the trick.

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 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. The handle has an emphasized angle for a better grip, which makes it more suitable for right-handed users.
