The Fukito hammered Damascus santoku for precise, elegant cooking
The Fukito 17cm Ebony Damascus hammered santoku knife is an everyday kitchen essential, particularly suited to versatile cuts: vegetables, boneless meats, boneless fish. This knife combines lightness of use, cutting quality and refined design, making it as pleasant to handle as it is to look at. Carefully crafted, it is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a balance between efficiency, comfort and aesthetics.
A sharp blade in damascus steel
This Fukito santoku features a 17cm blade with a 67-layer damascus structure. The core of the blade is made of 10CR15COMOV stainless steel, a quality alloy containing around 1.05% carbon for hardness and 15% chromium for excellent corrosion resistance.
Thanks to this composition, the blade achieves a hardness of around 60 HRC, ideal for maintaining a sharp cutting edge while retaining good flexibility in use. It can therefore be finely sharpened for clean, precise, effortless cuts.
The core is surrounded by 66 layers of softer stainless steel, designed to strengthen the blade, absorb micro-shocks and offer a unique damascus effect. The top of the blade is hammered, accentuating the visual contrast with the damascus lines while reducing the adherence of food during cutting, particularly damp or oily foods.
Finally, the blade'sflat cutting edge ensures a straight, clean cut, and its ambidextrous symmetry suits both right- and left-handed users.
A sturdy, comfortable ebony handle
The handle of the Fukito santoku knife is made from ebony, a dense, naturally moisture-resistant wood. It is recognized by its intense, elegant dark color, which contrasts with the brightness of the blade. Ebony is highly prized in cutlery for its durability, resistance to warping and smooth feel.
The oval-shaped handle is ideal for an ambidextrous, stable grip. This handle offers great comfort of use, even during long preparation sessions.
A brass ring solidifies the junction between blade and handle, while adding a touch of elegant gold. The stainless steel bolster and base reinforce the knife's structure, while enhancing its overall balance.
