FORGED EXOSKELETON™


The innovative EXOSKELETON forging method (patents pending) was developed to overcome the hygiene and durability problems found in regular plastic/wood handles or fashionable metal-handled knives. The three separate parts are fused into one seamless piece: instead of adding handle parts around a forged tang, the FX handle is the tang. The end result is high-performance cutting: stronger, more durable, and more hygienic than traditional knives. When these unique construction features are combined with the patented Füri handle shape, finest German CrMoV alloy, unique blade shapes, and a perfect edge created by TECH EDGE, the result is a new definition of knife technology and the level of performance this technology makes possible.




1. Lateral forging
A single piece of the finest German CrMoV stainless steel alloy is laterally forged to form the solid bolster section.



2. Bolster and handle forging
From the original single piece of material the bolster is drop-forged and one handle half is formed to final shape.




3. Blanking to shape and fusing handle cap and 'coppertail'
Blanking dies shear the scrap material from the finished shape. At this stage the high-strength EXOSKELETON structure is complete. A cast stainless steel handle cap with Coppertail™ is then fused all-round to finish the handle shape. The handle cavity is necessary to reduce weight and maintain the correct balance, and the 'Coppertail' (patent pending) allows the knife to be easily rebalanced as the blade wears over many years.


4. Heat treatment, grinding, polishing, printing, TECH EDGE honing
The blade is hardened and tempered to HRC55, then precision-ground to the final wedge shape. The handle is hand-polished to create vertical microgrooves for 'stiction'. Using the Füri TECH EDGE™ sharpening system, an 'extreme-sharp' cutting edge is created in three stages: precision shaping the edge to exactly 20º each side, coarse-honing, and fine-honing to 'cutting edge' perfection. Very sharp. Very precise.
