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.
