Fukito Rosewood Damascus Bird's Beak Paring Knife 67 layers 8cm

Fukito knives allow you to equip yourself at a very attractive price, given the quality materials used in their design. Fukito kitchen knives are made in Guangdong province, Western China. This region has been historically linked with knife production for decades. Each Fukito knife is produced using techniques and materials that meet the manufacturing standards of French food industry professionals.

The Fukito Rosewood Damascusbird's beak knife is a handy little knife for cutting and peeling the fine skins of your fruit and vegetables. Its curved blade ensures fast, efficient action.

Blade details :

The blade is vacuum heat-treated. This process is advantageous because, during standard heat treatment, certain elements present in the air can react with the metal, even during quenching. This is the case, for example, with oxygen, hydrogen... And this can have an impact on the blade. Here, heat treatment takes place in a protected atmosphere, free from all elements. As a result, the blade can be processed to its full potential.

It is also damascened: its structure is based on a hard core of rigid steel, surrounded by several layers of less rigid steel. The superimposed layers of alloys give the knife a definite visual character.

Damascus ensures a well-balanced blade:

- The core is made of 10CR15COMOV stainless steel. This has a very interesting composition, with a carbon content of around 1.05%, giving it a stiffer cutting edge that retains its cutting ability for longer. You can also sharpen it more sharply, for an impeccable finish and easier cutting. In addition, its chromium content is around 15%, giving it excellent resistance to corrosion.

- The 10CR15COMOV is surrounded by several layers of less rigid stainless steel, precisely to balance the core. This gives it greater flexibility, without making it bendable. In fact, it helps prevent breakage too easily (indeed, a very rigid steel will tend to chip more quickly because it's not flexible, which is why it's interesting here to add a softer alloy to compensate).

The top surface of the blade has been hammered, creating a beautiful contrast with the damask side. A knife with character!

A stainless steel Bolster links the blade to the handle.

Handle details :

The knife features a beautiful, hand-polished rosewood handle. This exotic wood is resistant to moisture, but it's also strong, so it'll last you a long time. You'll appreciate the nuances of color, which change with each piece (wood is a living material, and that's the beauty of it!). The palette ranges from brown to dark red, with dark veins adding contrast.

The full-silk blade is attached to the rosewood by 3 rivets. A special feature: the central rivet is in mosaic, adding a touch of originality to the knife! The slightly curved base makes the knife a pleasure to use, fitting snugly in the palm whether you're right- or left-handed.

It comes in a box that opens and closes with a small magnet. Give it as a gift or simply treat yourself!

Care instructions: wash by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Don't put it in the dishwasher or soak it. Once it's clean, wipe it dry and store it in your case, or on a magnetic bar, in a block, in a drawer...
