Product Description

This excellent multi-purpose kitchen knife is a must have for all home cooks. A "Western" version of a traditional Japanese blade, the Rachael Ray Rocker Style knife combines a front edge "Santoku" for all chopping and slicing, while also incorporating a longer chop length similar to a mezzaluna.

It comes with a full metal bolster with Furi Gusto-Grip handle in a special edition Rachael Ray black.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great knife, no COVER???, April 7, 2011

I own most everything in the Rachael Ray line of cookware, bakeware, and cutlery. I bought this knife last week and while its a great knife...there's NO cover for it??? I called Furi 877-567-9440 and they say, "Yeah right now, unfortunately the only way to purchase this knife is by itself or with the cover." When I bought the knife I didn't realize there was an alternative. To the person above who "corrected" the error...how did you do that?

If you're going to buy this knife (and you should), make sure you have a plan for storing it. I already own a Rachael Ray 10-piece knife set which came with a knife block. Since I prefer not tossing my expensive knives in a drawer...I guess I'm either going to have to purchase a knife block for ONE knife or wait until Furi figures out they need to sell the covers separately too. Or at least Amazon updates the item description making it clear that this sells with NO cover.

This review is from: Furi Rachael Ray Gusto-Grip 8-Inch Forged Chef's Rocker Knife- Orange (Kitchen)

I received this knife as a Christmas gift, and I love it! First, I love how heavy this knife is. When you have a knife like this, that's nice and heavy, it does all the work, and all you have to do it lower it. I also love the "sure" grip handle. I've been cut on other knifes without this kind of handle like this one. This handle will not slip out of your hands, even when your hands are wet. I l also love the shape of the knife. When I use it, my hands are protected from the blade. It has an easy and natural cutting motion.

I love to cook, and have had a lot of knives, but nothing comes close to this. I honestly can't say enough good things about this knife. If you know someone that loves to cook, then this is a knife for them. Don't go for a cheap knife. After all, you get what you pay for.

You can't miss with this knife! If you get it, I can promise you won't be sorry, I know I'm not.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is not the Furi quality I'm used to., May 18, 2011

This is my first Amazon product review. I wouldn't normally do this, but I just had to comment on this knife. I've owned and used Furi knives for several years, both professionaly and at home. The quality I normally associate with the Furi brand and the low price listed by Amazon got me to purchase this knife. My first disappointment was having to remove the "Made in China" sticker before washing it. The blade came unevenly hollow-ground and was not very sharp. All my other Furis were made in Germany and came precision-ground and razor sharp. The handle is covered in the same stuff that the Rachel Ray series gets, but this one looks and feels more like a Henckels knock-off even though it's stamped "Furi." I got this knife real cheap, so I'll keep it, but it will have to get a $25.00 professional tune-up before it's up to snuff. Furthermore, the rocking motion that a mezzaluna style of blade is known for cannot be easily performed. My 10" Furi chef's knife has more curve than this knife does. Bottom line: Buy a REAL Furi, not a knock-off.
