10CR Fukito 12cm Ebony Damascus Utility Knife

This all-purpose knife is ideal for a variety of cutting tasks! Its small blade is perfect for precision tasks, whether slicing meat, fruit or vegetables. Use it to cut a wide range of foods with ease and precision! However, avoid using it on excessively hard foods, such as squash or bones, to avoid damaging it.

The Fukito knife for all hands

The blade of this kitchen knife features a damascened structure, offering optimal construction. This process consists of creating a rigid steel core, enveloped by several superimposed layers of softer steel. This technique combines blade rigidity with enhanced core protection for your Fukito knife.

This all-purpose knife features a 10CR steel core. This alloy contains around 1% carbon, a key element that increases the steel's hardness. The blade thus achieves a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing excellent edge retention and outstanding cutting performance!

To complete the damascus finish, 66 layers of softer stainless steel are added around the core. These layers add suppleness to the blade (without making it flexible), reducing the risk of breakage. In addition to its practical benefits, damascus offers real visual aesthetics: the steel layers form fine waves along the edge, creating a unique pattern on every Fukito knife.

Hammering on the upper part of the blade lends a touch of authenticity to your damascus knife. It also prevents food from sticking to the sides of your knife when cutting. It also features a rough forged finish that adds character to your knife.

A damask knife with an ebony handle

This damascus knife features an ebony wood handle, an exotic species renowned for its strength and longevity. This dense, hard-wearing wood resists moisture and warping. Its dark color and unique grain give each knife an elegant, distinctive look.

To complete the handle, a stainless steel bolster and base have been integrated, balancing the knife while adding style. Two gold edgings link these elements to the handle, offering an extra touch of elegance. Finally, a mosaic rivet firmly attaches the handle to the blade, ensuring excellent reliability.

This all-purpose knife is practical thanks to its handle, which is suitable for both right- and left-handed users! Its hexagonal shape provides a comfortable grip and optimum ergonomics, even for prolonged use in the kitchen.

It comes in a gift box, perfect for protecting it and ideal as a gift idea!

Fukito knives are made in the Guangdong province of western China. This is a region historically linked to knife production, and has been for many decades.

To care for your damask knife, wash only by hand with a non-abrasive sponge, avoiding wetting the handle. After washing, dry immediately to remove all traces of moisture and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
