Samura Mo-V Stonewash Knife Set, 3 pcs

The Samura Mo-V Stonewash knife set brings together three core kitchen knives: a 90 mm paring knife, a 125 mm utility knife and a 200 mm chef's knife. Between them they cover everyday prep, from peeling small fruit and vegetables to cutting cheese and sausage, slicing meat and portioning fish. It is a set for home cooks and kitchen professionals alike.

Blade and steel

All three blades are made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edges hold up well to daily use, and you can restore them on a whetstone when they need it. Each knife has a double-bevel edge, ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening straightforward.

The blades carry a stonewash finish, which gives them their dark colour.

Handle and balance

Every knife in the set has a black G-10 handle. The oval handles are ergonomic and moisture-resistant, and a stainless steel bolster separates each blade from its handle.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knives with hot water and wipe them dry before first use. Wash them by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe them dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave them in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items, use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

About the Mo-V Stonewash series

The Mo-V Stonewash series gets its distinct dark blades from stonewashing the metal with millions of small stones. All of its knives have a metal bolster that separates the blade from a moisture-resistant oval handle, and like all SAMURA knives, they come with a 2-year warranty.
