A balanced damascened blade in 10Cr15CoMoV steel
The blade of the Fukito Rosewood Damascus chef's knife has a damascened structure. It rests on a hard core of rigid steel, surrounded by several layers of less rigid stainless steel. This design balances the blade, while offering a damascened visual rich in character.
The blade core is made from 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 cutting finish.
The chromium content, at around 15%, improves corrosion resistance, an essential point for a knife intended for regular use in the kitchen. Around this core, softer layers of stainless steel provide additional shock tolerance, limiting the risk of chipping associated with excessive rigidity, without making the blade flexible.
The blade also benefits from vacuum heat treatment. Carried out in a protected atmosphere, this process prevents any interaction with elements present in the air, such as oxygen or hydrogen, during tempering. In this way, the integrity of the alloy is preserved and its full potential exploited.
The upper surface of the blade has been hammered, creating a marked visual contrast with the damascus visible on the lower part. This finish reinforces the knife's character and contributes to its aesthetic identity.
An ergonomic, well-manicured rosewood handle
The handle of the Fukito Rosewood Damascus chef's knife is made from rosewood, an exotic species appreciated 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 an elegant natural contrast.
As wood is a living material, each handle is unique. It is hand-polished for a soft, pleasant feel. A stainless steel bolster joins the blade to the handle.
The full-silk blade is firmly attached to the rosewood 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 ergonomic, with a slightly curved base that sits naturally in the palm. This design suits both right- and left-handed cooks.
An affordable knife with quality materials
The Fukito Rosewood Damascus chef's knife is an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile, well-balanced knife with quality materials, without compromising on ease of use. It's an efficient tool for everyday use, with an attractive design and a high-performance blade.
The knife comes in a dark box, ideal for storage or as a gift. To preserve its qualities, we recommend washing it exclusively by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. It should not be put in the dishwasher or left to soak in the sink. After washing, wipe dry immediately and store in a dry place, on a magnetic bar, in a block or in a suitable drawer.
