Damascus blade:
This blade features a solid core of rigid steel surrounded by layers of less rigid steel. The alternating layers create a unique visual effect for each knife.
Damascus also brings ideal balance to the blade. Its core is made of 10CR15COMOV stainless steel, an alloy with a carbon content of 1.05%. As a result, the blade's edge is more rigid and retains its sharpness longer. Thanks to this, the blade can be sharpened to a more pronounced edge, so that its sharpness is always impeccable. The alloy's chromium content is around 15%, making the blade more resistant to corrosion.
The core is then surrounded by layers of less rigid stainless steel to balance it out. It is softer without being literally flexible. In this case, suppleness means it is more resistant to shocks to prevent breakage. In fact, steel that is too rigid will chip more easily.
Vacuum heat treatment is also applied to the blade. During standard heat treatment, several elements contained in the air can interfere and react with the metal, even during quenching. This is the case with oxygen and hydrogen, for example, and can affect blade quality. With vacuum heat treatment, the atmosphere is protected because no elements interfere. The blade is thus better treated to preserve its full potential.
Hammering completes the blade's design, providing an elegant contrast with its damascus finish.
A stainless steel bolster joins the blade to the handle.
The beautifully nuanced handle :
The handle is made of rosewood with its unique nuances. As wood is a living material, each knife naturally has its own unique handle. The hues of the handle vary from brown to dark red, and are contrasted by an attractive dark veining. Rosewood is an exotic species renowned for its resistance to shock and humidity. Finally, the handle is hand-polished.
The rosewood is held against the knives' full tang blade by 3 rivets. The central rivet is made of a superb mosaic that adds a lot of cachet to the knife. The handle has an ergonomic shape and its base is slightly curved to fit snugly in your hand. These knives are designed for both right- and left-handed use.
These superb knives are delivered in a beautiful magnetic case for ideal storage. The box is the perfect gift idea for all lovers of fine knives.
We strongly recommend washing your knives by hand with a sponge and mild dishwashing detergent. Do not soak your knives in water or put them through the dishwasher. Once cleaned, dry knives thoroughly before storing.
Fukito knives are all made in the Guangdong province of Western China. The area has a long history as a hotbed of knife-making. The techniques employed and materials used meet the manufacturing standards of French food industry professionals.
