Fukito 's Ebony Damascus X50 range has been designed to meet the demands of everyday cooking, with knives that are reliable, balanced and durable. Fukito knives are made in Western China, in the Guangdong province, a region historically renowned for the production of cutting tools for several decades. This industrial expertise enables us to offer knives designed with proven materials and manufacturing techniques that meet the standards of the professional food sector.
The Ebony Damascus X50 range is distinguished by an approach focused on efficiency, robustness and ease of use, with complementary formats to cover all kitchen needs.
A professional blade in X50CrMoV15 steel
The blades of Fukito Ebony Damascus X50 knives are made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, an alloy widely used in the professional world for its excellent balance between performance, durability and ease of maintenance. Its high chromium content of around 15% makes it highly resistant to corrosion, an important asset in a moist environment such as a kitchen.
The composition of this steel is carefully balanced. Carbon contributes to an efficient cutting edge, while vanadium adds suppleness to the blade, limiting the risk of breakage and improving wear tolerance. This balance ensures a good compromise between edge retention and ease of sharpening, while maintaining excellent value for money.
The blade also benefits from vacuum heat treatment. Unlike conventional heat treatment, this process takes place in a protected atmosphere, without the presence of external elements such as oxygen or hydrogen. This ensures that the properties of the steel are fully preserved during tempering, and that the blade exploits its full mechanical and structural potential.
A stainless steel bolster links the blade to the handle. Its gently sloping surface facilitates handling and offers a natural transition between the two parts of the knife.
A robust, well-balanced ebony handle
The handles of Fukito Ebony Damascus X50 knives are made from dark ebony, a species renowned for its density and strength. This wood is particularly appreciated for its ability to withstand intensive use and for its good resistance to humidity. Each handle is hand-polished, giving it a soft, pleasant feel and highlighting the natural depth of the ebony.
Because wood is a living material, the veins and nuances vary from handle to handle, making each knife unique. The blade and handle are securely joined by three rivets, guaranteeing a reliable hold over time. The central rivet features a copper mosaic, contrasting elegantly with the dark ebony hue and adding a refined visual touch.
A stainless steel cap completes the handle. It provides a neat finish while contributing to the knife's overall balance. The shape and balance of the handle make it comfortable to use for both right- and left-handed users.
A complete range for long-term use
The Fukito Ebony Damascus X50 range offers knives in complementary formats, covering all common kitchen cuts. It comprises a 9 cm paring knife, ideal for small fruits and vegetables, a 15 cm utility knife for intermediate cuts, and a 21 cm chef's knife, suitable for a wide variety of foods and techniques.
This range is a coherent solution for equipping yourself with reliable, durable and comfortable knives, designed for everyday use. To preserve their qualities, simple maintenance is recommended. Knives should be washed exclusively by hand with a sponge and mild detergent, wiped dry immediately after washing and stored in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink should be avoided to preserve the blade and handle over time.
