Fukito kitchen knives are made in Guangdong province, Western China. This location has been historically linked to cutlery production for decades. Each Fukito knife is produced using techniques and materials that meet the manufacturing standards of French food industry professionals.

With this Fukito Rosewood Damascus carving knife, you'll be able to equip yourself at an attractive price, without compromising on quality! Its long, thin blade is ideal for slicing meat or fish.

Blade structure :

The knife's blade is damascened, i.e. it features a hard core of rigid steel, which is surrounded by several layers of less rigid steel. The result is an unmistakable visual effect that lends the piece a great deal of character.

The damascus is useful for balancing the blade (as well as giving it an elegant style).

For this, we encounter a 10CR15COMOV stainless steel core. Its composition is interesting, thanks in particular to its carbon content of around 1.05%. This has a direct impact on the rigidity of the cutting edge, enabling it to retain its sharpness for longer. What's more, a rigid cutting edge can be sharpened more thoroughly, for an impeccable finish and consistently pleasing cuts. The 10CR15COMOV also has a chromium content of around 15%, giving it excellent resistance to oxidation.

This steel is then surrounded by several layers of less rigid stainless steel to balance the core. This makes it softer, without making it flexible. We're talking about a "softness" that prevents breakage too easily (in fact, a very rigid steel can chip more quickly because it's not flexible, which is why it's interesting to add a softer alloy to balance it out).

The blade also benefits from vacuum heat treatment. 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.

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

Handle structure :

A stainless steel Bolster forms the link with the handle.

This is followed by rosewood. This exotic, dense species is renowned for its strength and resistance to moisture. This wood presents superb nuances that change with each piece (wood is a living material, so the rendering differs with each model). Its color alternates between brown and dark red, with attractive dark veins for contrast. What's more, the wood has been polished by hand.

The full tang blade is attached to the rosewood by 3 rivets, for a perfect hold. The central rivet is a mosaic that adds a touch of originality to the knife!

A pleasant grip, with a slightly curved base that sits comfortably in the palm. This knife is suitable for ambidextrous use.

It comes in a beautiful dark case that opens and closes with a small magnet. A real asset if you want to give it as a gift, or treat yourself.

Care: wash by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Do not put it in the dishwasher or soak it in the sink. Once clean, wipe dry and store.
