Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for Food Network star Rachael Ray and branded with her name, this 7-inch Gusto Grip East/West knife is a cross between a cook’s knife and a vegetable chopper. The knife features an ultra-thin blade with an exceptionally sharp cutting edge that slices through fruits, vegetables, and meats with more simplicity than the thicker cook’s knife. Plus, its scalloped edge minimizes food’s ability to stick to the edge, which makes for more efficient slicing. Crafted from a single, seamless piece of the finest CrMoV German stainless-steel alloys, the knife is then hardened and tempered for maximum edge retention, ease of sharpening, and long-lasting durability. The knife also offers a forged solid bolster and heavy tang for enhanced strength. The knife, which should be washed by hand for best results, measures approximately 11 by 2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
Product Description
The Gusto Grip line was created specifically to meet Rachael Ray’s recommendations. Rachael wanted a grippier handle in her favorite color - orange. The knife had to be cutting edge, attractive and feel comfortable and secure in her hand.The end result

I tried this knife at Sur La Table at the Furi demo. They appeared to be very sharp. However I did not like these knives for the following reasons
1) I dont care much for the cheap plastic-like orange handles
2) The finish on the knives appear to be cheap. Furi implies that these knives are made in Germany. However they are cheaply “Made in China”. Now generally I dont care that much .. everything is now made in China anyways.. But when I am paying so much money for a product, I was hoping it was made in Germany or USA.
3) The case is even more cheaply made.
Personally, I would wait for a sale on the Global or the Wustof knives.

This Santoku knife is made a little heavier than the Furi RR Coppertail model. I believe this is due to a thicker tang on the blade. The silicone grip is ideal to help prevent one’s hand slipping on the handle & is very comfortable.
In my opinion, Wusthof may lose alot of customers after they try using this knife. If one is interested, the Foodtv.com web site has two different sets of the RR Gusto Grip knives for sale.
I seldom use my Wusthof Santoku anymore. The curved tip saves alot of needless wrist movement when chopping or mincing.
The 1st knife I ordered was defective; a cracked handle near the metal cap on the rear of the handle plus metal pitts on top of the tang. In my opinion, the Wusthof Santoku has a superior German steel that stays razor sharp alot longer!

I just purchased this knife after having purchased the smaller 5 inch Furi Knife. I liked the 5 inch version so much that I wanted to add this one to the collection. I find that this knife is far more comfortable to use than the Wustof Santoku Knife that I already own. While I saw that other reviewers were put off by the color of the handle, the handle is quite comfortable and makes chopping far easier with less fatigue. I sometimes find that the Wustof Santoku Knife, while a great knife with a great reputation for quality, became uncomfortable to use after lengthy chopping and cutting sessions in the kitchen. This Furi knife, on the other hand, is simply wonderful; and despite other reviews about the orange handle, the ease of use makes up for the color. The handle is quite comfortable and the grip makes it easier to chop and cut without fatigue. Highly recommend!!!
