Furi Rachael Ray Gusto-grip blades feature a forged bolster and tang which are produced from one single piece of the finest German CrMoV alloy,increasing the strength and overall durability of the knife. The distinctive orange handled is made with a durable synthetic rubber handle that immediately feels comfortable and secure in the hand. These components are strong and will not separate with regular use. Furi Rachael Ray Gusto-grip knives are not made with the similar welding of cast bolster to blade process common to other household knives. There are no rivets or wooden handle pieces that can fall apart over time. Every blade is designed for the ideal combination of sharpness and strength. The new design features introduced by Furi really do make it superior to others (where it counts the most: hygiene, durability, comfort, grip, ease of sharpening and edge retention). For the professional, the Furi knife reduces fatigue in long repetitive prep sessions and increases precision for fine cuts. This is partly because of the easier slicing the East/West blade allows, but also because the Patented Furi handle requires a lighter grip to do all the same work (the Furi handle acts like a wedge in the hand to eliminate forward slip, and hence it requires less squeezing of the handle, and this means less fatigue). A cross between a cook's knife and a vegetable chopper, our legendary East/West knife has a very thin blade with an exceptionally sharp cutting edge that slices through vegetables and meats with more ease than the thicker cook's knife. The scalloped edge reduces friction to make slicing much easier. Size: 5" blade
