Bob (this one) said:Michael Odom said:I got a couple of Furi knives for (late and early) Christmas. Very
nice! I got the big, nine-inch santoku before Christmas and the
little, five-inch one yesterday. They had them in stock at Sur la
Table in Dallas, to my surprise. Thanks for the tip way back when.You're welcome, Michael. My 13-year-old has claimed my 7" santoku for
herself. It's now her knife, she says, and she grants me occasional
permission to use it. <G>. They have some new knives in their Furi
Pro line that I hadn't seen until today when I clicked on their site.
I like the new 7" with the Granton dimples.
I also have their "Füri® Tech Edge™ Pro Sharpening System" (Name
doesn't exactly fall trippingly from the tongue...). Zowie. I started
the first time out, as an experiment, with a beat up old stainless
knife that I hadn't used in a while. Ran it through the three
sharpening heads and it was transformed. I've since used it on several
knives (stainless and carbon) and I even followed the instructions. I
know. It's a bad habit to get into. Next thing you know, I'll read the
instructions on that box of dynamite I bought and then the fun and
mystery are all gone.
Check out the sharpener here: <http://www.furitechnics.com.au/> They
have some videos showing hte system in use. Radically different than
anything else out there. Easier to get the edge bevel correct than a
stone. And it's adjustable to suit the way you like your knives sharpened.

Thanks for the tip - this looks like a great doghouse gift. You know, one he
can buy me to get out of the doghouse. Or maybe I'll just spring for it
myself.
