Chef knife 20cm Fukito Ebony Damascus VG10

The Fukito chef knife lets you make a wide variety of cuts! This versatile model is ideal for cutting many types of food, from boneless cuts of meat to fruit and vegetables. It also makes chopping, mincing and mincing herbs a breeze. Be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash or frozen foods.

A Fukito knife with character

This kitchen knife features a damascened blade for optimal structure. This is a technique involving the manufacture of a rigid steel core which is then surrounded by several layers of softer steel. This protects the core of your blade while balancing its hardness for ideal balance.

Here, 66 layers of stainless steel are superimposed around the core of your damascus knife. In this way, they add suppleness to your blade (without making it flexible), so that it is less brittle in use. What's more, damascus adds a highly aesthetic visual touch, as you can observe the superimposition of the different layers all along the blade's cutting edge. They form fine waves with random patterns for an elegant look.

The heart of your Damascus chef's knife is made of Japanese VG10 steel, an alloy produced by the renowned Takefu Special Steel. It contains a high carbon content of around 1%, the element that increases the hardness of steel. Your blade therefore achieves a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale: you get excellent edge retention with a high-performance cutting edge!

Your blade has a rough-forged finish for an extra touch of authenticity. This finish is much appreciated by chefs for its rustic feel!

Its surface has also been hammered to give character to your Fukito knife. As well as being visual, hammering is also practical, as it prevents your food from sticking to the sides of the knife when cutting.

The chef's knife with optimum grip

The handle of this damascus knife is made from ebony, a tropical species that is robust and durable. Its high density makes it resistant to moisture and deformation. This wood has a dark hue with a unique veining that makes your knife truly singular!

This handle is also fitted with a stainless steel bolster and base to improve the balance of your knife. These two elements are joined to the wood by gold edging, adding a touch of refinement. What's more, this knife features a mosaic rivet for enhanced handle reliability.

With its hexagonal shape, this kitchen knife is suitable for all cooks, right- and left-handed alike! Its ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to use, especially during extended cooking sessions.

Your knife comes in a box for optimum protection! It also makes an excellent gift idea.

Fukito kitchen knives are made in the Guangdong province of Western China. This is a place that has been historically linked to knife production for many decades!

To care for your damask knife, wash it exclusively by hand with a non-abrasive sponge and mild detergent. Once cleaned, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not use the dishwasher, and never leave your knife to soak in the sink!
