Fukito Olive Damascus 14Cr 17cm Chinese chef knife

A wide, stable format for clean cuts

The Fukito Olive Damascus 14Cr 17cm Chinese chef knife is designed for easy slicing, chopping and transferring thanks to its tall, rectangular blade! Highly appreciated for preparing vegetables, herbs, boneless meats and fish, it offers excellent stability on the board. Its high-grade powdered steel and stabilized olive wood handle make this knife as powerful as it is refined.

A sturdy, precise damascus blade

The 17cm blade features a damascened structure made up of 73 layers of steel. The central core ensures cutting quality, while the outer layers of softer stainless steel protect the blade and create the characteristic damascus ripples.

The core is made of 14Cr14V3MoNb powder steel, a high-end alloy containing around 1.4% carbon and 14% chromium. Its composition provides a very fine, long-lasting cutting edge, particularly effective for repeated cutting. Chromium enhances corrosion resistance, while vanadium, molybdenum and niobium strengthen the steel's structure.

Thanks to vacuum heat treatment, the blade achieves a hardness of around 64 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This means it retains its cutting power over time. The flat cutting edge ensures even penetration of food and clean cuts with excellent control.

A sophisticated olive wood handle

The handle is made from stabilized olive wood, a natural material reinforced to better resist humidity and temperature variations. This stabilization preserves all the beauty of the wood while enhancing its longevity.

Each handle has a unique grain, with nuances specific to each piece. Its warm feel and smooth surface make for a pleasant grip during long preparations.

The polished stainless steel bolster creates an elegant junction with the blade. The triple gold and red edging adds a distinctive decorative touch, while the mosaic rivet in the center of the handle underlines the knife's high-end character. The beveled stainless steel base completes the ensemble with a particularly meticulous finish.

The knife comes in a presentation box, perfect for protecting the blade and offering this Fukito Chinese chef's knife in an elegant case.
