The Furi FX Forged 9" East/West Knife promises and delivers on high end quality in a kitchen cutting tool. This beautifully designed Coppertail knife is known as the East/West because it combines the traditional features of a Japanese santoku with western styling additions.
Chefs find it an excellent choice for the thin slicing of delicate foods such as tomatoes. Scallops on the sides of the blade, just above the edge, help to discourage the sticking of foods, consequently reducing cutting friction, making it an ideal knife with which to slice thin-boned and boneless meats such as poultry, as well as fish and vegetables. The superbly balanced knife has a comfortable heft to it and features an extremely sharp blade that is easily sharpened.
The Furi FX Forged Knife lacks the orange Gusto-Grip found on the typical Rachael Ray Knife. That is because the FX (Forged eXoskeleton) manufacturing method pioneered by Furi Brands is being used to manufacture even stronger and more hygienic professional knives. With this method, the blade, bolster, and the bottom half of the handle are forged from one piece of alloy – instead of forging a tang through the centre and adding handle pieces, Füri forges the tang into the shape of the handle.
The Furi FX Forged Knife also lacks the solid cast stainless steel counterweight placed on the back of a Gusto-Grip handle for balance, replacing it with the "Coppertail". This is a counterbalancing copper insert instead of one made of stainless steel. It too is designed to maintain the ideal weight between handle and blade. After years of sharpenings, however, the blade can lose a great deal of metal, which naturally tends to throw off the balance of the blade. The softer copper in the Coppertail can be carefully honed down to reduce handle weight and restore that lost balance.
Most home chefs would not be that particular, but for the professionals, and even the truly dedicated amateurs, who appreciate the abiltiy to wield their kitchen knife as one would a surgical instrument, this is an ideal addition. For them the Furi FX Forged Knife is not only a choice, it is "The" choice.
