Samura Juggernaut Kitchen Hatchet 145 mm

The Samura Juggernaut kitchen hatchet is a custom chopping tool with a 145 mm blade, made for chopping and portioning meat and fish. Its perforated spider's web design and leather-wrapped handle give it a rugged look that sets it apart from a conventional kitchen knife.

Blade and design

The broad 145 mm blade is built for chopping rather than fine slicing. The hatchet weighs 606 g net, which puts weight behind each chop. It measures 320 mm overall and 142 mm high.

The body is perforated in a spider's web pattern, which gives the Juggernaut its open, distinctive look.

Handle and balance

The handle is made of stainless steel with a genuine leather overgrip: a leather strap is wound around it to give you a firm, secure hold. SAMURA designed the Juggernaut to be well balanced, which helps you keep control as you chop.

Best uses

• Chopping meat into pieces
• Portioning larger cuts of meat
• Chopping and portioning fish

Care and sharpening

Rinse the hatchet with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the hatchet should not be left in the sink for long. Use it on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, leave frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, and store it in a knife holder or brush block where the blade does not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.
