Features of Tojiro Zen Black
Zen Black blade
Zen Black kitchen knives feature a laminated blade consisting of three layers of steel. The core is made of VG10 steel, with 13-chrome stainless steel on either side. This ensures a strong and flexible blade with excellent cutting performance, and it's easy to maintain. Unlike the gray blade of the Zen series, the Zen Black series feature a dark iron-oxide blade finish. This finish protects the blade even better from external influences such as moisture. .
Zen Black handle
The handles of this series are made from chestnut wood with a bolster of black polypropylene. The burnt chestnut wood has a stunning dark colour. The black bolster perfectly matches the handle and blade finish. The handle has a traditional Japanese D-shape. This means the handle is asymmetrical and therefore fits extra snugly in the palm of your hand. It's a typical Japanese feature!
