Furi 9' East/ West Knife - FX Forged with Coppertail FX519
9' FX East/West knife is our most popular shaped blade becaus

Amazon.com Review:
Chefs who love Australian-designed Furi Pro knives will swoon over the new premium-level Furi FX. Standing for Forged Exoskeleton, the FX knives are constructed out of a single piece of German stainless steel, resulting in superior strength and hygiene (no cracks or joints to collect bacteria). As with Furi Pro knives, the FX wedged handle is designed to prevent the hand from slipping toward the blade during use, and features a finger-notch and ergonomic curve that reduce strain and calluses, especially for arthritis sufferers.

This handsome Coppertail knife is known as the East/West because it combines the traditional scalloped edge of a Japanese santoku, excellent for thin slicing of delicate foods such as tomatoes, with the rocking and chopping motion of a Western chef's knife. The beautifully balanced knife feels substantially hefty and features an extremely sharp blade that is easily sharpened. As the blade wears and lightens over time, the copper 'tail' on the handle can be filed to counterbalance the weight. At 9 inches in length, the knife makes a superb all-around kitchen knife, and a fabulous gift for the professional home chef. Like all Furi knives, the Coppertail should be washed and dried by hand, and carries a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

I haven't had to sharpen the knife yet, certainly not so much as to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great knife
I actually bought this knife on ebay and what a great knife it is. Sharp and well balanced. I highly recommend it. It's a little large, but extremely light and easy to use. I use it to cut everything. You won't be disappointed.
