The Fukito Rosewood Damascus range has been designed to offer versatile, high-performance, affordable knives capable of meeting everyday kitchen needs. Fukito knives are made in Western China, in the province of Guangdong, an area historically linked to cutlery production for decades. Each knife is crafted using techniques and materials that meet the manufacturing standards of French food industry professionals.
This range is distinguished by an excellent balance between cutting quality, durability and aesthetics, while remaining at a particularly attractive price level given the materials used.
Versatile, affordable damascus blades
Fukito Rosewood Damascus knives feature damascened blades, a design based on the combination of several steels with complementary properties. The blade is built around a rigid core, responsible for the cutting edge, which is then surrounded by several layers of less rigid stainless steel. This superimposition creates a unique damascene look, while contributing to the overall balance of the blade.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, damascus makes for a more user-friendly blade, capable of withstanding the stresses of repeated cutting. This structure ensures smooth, even cuts on a wide variety of foods, such as vegetables, boneless meat, fish or herbs.
A technical core in 10Cr15CoMoV steel
The core of the blades in the Fukito Rosewood Damascus range is made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its performance and often compared to VG10 steel. Its carbon content, around 1.05%, increases the rigidity of the cutting edge, so that it retains its sharpness longer. This rigidity also enables more thorough sharpening, for a precise, clean cut.
The chromium content, at around 15%, improves corrosion resistance, an essential criterion for regular use in the kitchen. Around this core, several layers of softer stainless steel balance the whole. This design provides additional shock tolerance and limits the risk of chipping associated with excessive rigidity, without making the blade flexible.
Vacuum heat treatment and hammered finish
Blades from the Fukito Rosewood Damascus range are vacuum heat-treated. This process, carried out in a protected atmosphere, avoids any interaction between the metal and elements present in the air, such as oxygen or hydrogen, during tempering. As a result, the alloy's integrity is preserved and its mechanical properties fully exploited.
The upper surface of the blade is hammered, creating a marked contrast with the damascus visible on the lower part. This finish reinforces the visual character of the knives and contributes to their identity, while adding a touch of authenticity appreciated in the kitchen.
Elegant, ergonomic rosewood handles
The handles of Fukito Rosewood Damascus knives are made from rosewood, an exotic species renowned for its strength and resistance to humidity. This dense wood features deep hues ranging from brown to dark red, punctuated by dark veins that provide a natural, elegant contrast.
As wood is a living material, each handle is unique. It is hand-polished for a soft, pleasant feel. The full tang blade is firmly attached to the handle by three rivets, guaranteeing a reliable hold over time. The central rivet, in the form of a mosaic, adds a distinctive decorative touch.
The shape of the handle is designed for an ergonomic grip, with a slightly curved base that sits naturally in the palm. This design is suitable for both right- and left-handed cooks, and ensures comfort even during prolonged use.
The knives in the Fukito Rosewood Damascus range are delivered in a dark case, practical for storage or gift-giving. To preserve their qualities, knives should be washed exclusively by hand with a sponge and a mild detergent, without being put in the dishwasher or left to soak in the sink. After washing, they should be wiped dry immediately and stored in a dry place.
