A tall, versatile blade for efficient chopping
The Fukito Olive Damascus 14Cr 17cm chopping knife offers a large cutting surface for slicing, chopping and mincing with speed! Its high blade guides food with stability, making it easy to transfer from board to pan. Extremely practical for vegetables, herbs, boneless meats and fish, it combines cutting power with top-of-the-range finishes.
A damask structure built to last
The 17cm blade features a 73-layer damask structure. A very hard central core is enveloped by softer layers of stainless steel, which strengthen the blade while creating the characteristic damascus ripples.
The core of the blade is made from 14Cr14V3MoNb powdered steel, a premium alloy containing around 1.4% carbon and 14% chromium. The high carbon content produces an extremely fine wire, while the chromium enhances corrosion resistance. Vanadium, molybdenum and niobium contribute to grain stability and wear resistance.
Thanks to vacuum heat treatment, the blade achieves a hardness of around 64 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This high value guarantees excellent edge retention. Theflat cutting edge ensures even penetration of food and clean cuts, even during intensive preparation.
Stabilized olive wood handle with meticulous finish
The handle is made from stabilized olive wood, a natural material reinforced to better withstand humidity and temperature variations. This technique preserves the wood's natural beauty while enhancing its durability.
Each piece has a unique grain, with warm nuances that make each knife unique. The grip is comfortable and pleasant, even during long preparation sessions.
The polished stainless steel bolster provides an elegant transition to the blade. The triple gold and red edging highlights the junction between wood and steel, while the mosaic rivet in the center of the handle adds a distinctive decorative signature. The beveled stainless steel base completes the ensemble with a particularly refined finish.
The knife is delivered in a presentation box, ideal for protecting the blade and offering this Olive Damascus cleaver knife in a carefully-crafted case.

Caring for my Olive Damas chopper knife
Wash your knife by hand with a soft sponge, then dry it immediately after use. Do not put it in the dishwasher or soak it in the sink for long periods. Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board to preserve the quality of the cutting edge. To maintain its performance, sharpen it regularly with a stone suitable for high-hardness steels.
