A cross between a cook’s knife and a vegetable chopper this sleek, high carbon, stainless steel knife expertly slices meats and cuts fruit and vegetables using its thin and sharp blade. Its ergonomic handle and wedge shape resists slip toward the blade making it safe as well as effective.

Over the years, repeated sharpening of any knife reduces the weight of the blade and alters the subtle balance of the knife. The Furi FX Coppertail East-West Knife features a unique counterbalancing copper insert within the handle, which can be shaved down to reduce the weight of the handle and rebalance the knife. This durable knife comes with a lifetime guarantee and is available in two sizes, 13cm or 18cm.
