Tojiro Shippu 8" Chef (Gyuto)

Open until 5pmIndependent shop in DowntownDirections

Available from Seattle Cutlery when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Shippu is Tojiro’s flagship line of traditional Japanese knives and features premium forged Damascus steel blades and fire-blackened chestnut wood handles, all handmade in Tsubame, Japan and imported exclusively by Seattle Cutlery . Slightly harder and lighter than the Tojiro Zen series, the razor-sharp blade is hafted to a handle of fire-blackened chestnut wood to create an elegantly simple, supremely functional knife.
