TV celebrity cook Rachael Ray has switched from traditional Santoku knives to Furi® RR 'Coppertail'™ knives. Designed by the engineers and chefs at Füritechnics Australia, Furi® RR 'Coppertail'™ knives are already legendary among leading chefs around the world. Now Rachael wants to let the gourmet home cooks of America in on their secret.

Endorsed by Celebrity Chef Rachael Ray , Füri RR East/West Coppertail' knives are an upgrade from the original Füri East/West knives that made Füri famous among the leading chefs of the world. They feature a scalloped granton edge and have more roll' in the end of the blade than a regular Santoku, allowing them to be used with both the rocking/sawing motion of a Chef's knife, and the chopper work of a Santoku.

Additionally, What makes the Füri RR Coppertail different from other knives is the copper insert in the handle. After years of sharpening, metal is removed from the blade edge, thereby reducing the weight and throwing off the balance. The Coppertail can be shaved down to reduce the weight of the handle and completely rebalance the knife.

Rachael says, 'The Furi RR Coppertail™ knife has all of the features of the classic Santoku blade that I love -. .and much more!"

I love the sharpness and scalloped edge of a Santoku blade-- it is the best blade available for slicing through a tomato. However, a traditional Santoku knife has a very straight edge, which makes it difficult to use in a rocking and sliding motion, as with most traditional chefs knives. The Furi ® RR Coppertail™ features an East/West"™ blade, which is a sharp, scalloped Santoku blade with a rounded edge. So I can still slice through that tomato easily ... and can julienne a bushel full of carrots in no time at all!"

'Since I spend more time with a chef's knife in hand than not... I need a handle that is easy to hold and doesn't slip. Also, the shape of the handle looks REALLY cool... it's kinda like a typical knife handle flip flopped backwards."

For the high-end, specialty item customer who insists on the most 'cutting edge' technology available at any price, Rachael suggests the The Furi RR Coppertail™.

Rachael Ray is the highest-rating cook on Food Network in the USA, and her cookbooks are consistently at the top of the best-seller list. She has shot all episodes of her new series of 30 Minute Meals” with the Furi 5" RR East/West knife in full view.
