Füri Pro Ultra Set receives blessing from Smart Money Magazine

In a recent Smart Money magazine article, the Füri Pro Ultra Set was rated the best among the top US knife brands. Reviewed by Chef Sexton from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York, our ‘upmarket’ set received high praise for being ‘definitely really cool looking’, ability of the knives to ‘slice beautifully’, and the Tech Hone fingers mounted on the side of the block to ‘make sharpening idiot proof’. Find the Füri Pro Ultra Set at fine retailers such as Neiman Marcus.

Füri’s Rachael Ray Products

Rachael Ray is rising rapidly to mega-stardom with the success of her daily talk show, cooking shows, best-selling cookbooks, and much more. Rachael has also talked about her support for ‘the Australian Füri technics knife company’ on Larry King, shown off her Füri Gusto-Grip knife on Conan, 20/20, Letterman. Rachael’s endorsement of Füri knives hasa been a huge success story in US retail because Rachael chose a knife brand that was developed by engineers for chefs, instead of choosing a marketing company that imports generic houseware products for retail.
