| Popular with many leading chefs and with keen home cooks as well Furi knives provide solutions to many typical problems thanks to their well thought-out features and construction. One seamless piece of stainless steel is used in the construction of a Furi knife. No rivets to loosen no plastic handles to burn or melt. In fact the handle will last until the blade is sharpened away. A dull knife is dangerous and frustrating so the engineers at Furi chose a modern high-carbon stainless steel alloy which holds an edge yet is easier to re-sharpen than most other knives. A Furi blade will hold its edge at least as long as any vanadium stainless steel knife; it is also less likely to chip or snap. For keeping your cutlery s edge be sure to sharpen regularly. One method employs this diamond-coated round steel. Its coating is intentionally coarser than others for honing the perfect edge on cook s knives and others that use a forward and backward motion.Diamond-coated 10 1/2" L sharpening shaft Shaft screws into solid stainless steel handle for easy changeover (though your sharpening shaft will not wear out for many years) Hole in handle for hanging storage |
