The details

A closer look

The Samura Arny modern cleaver pairs a broad 208 mm blade with a curved cutting edge. It is made for slicing and shaving meat, even the most tender cuts, and it also works on fish, vegetables and fruit. The blade is AUS-8 stainless steel, and the handle is black TPE.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. For everyday cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to regular use, and you can bring it back on a whetstone without much effort. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, which keeps resharpening straightforward.

The blade is 208 mm long and 90 mm high, with a curved cutting edge.

Handle and balance

The handle is made of black TPE, a slip-resistant thermoplastic elastomer. It improves your grip and sits firmly and comfortably in the palm. The cleaver weighs 270 g and measures 333 mm overall.

Best uses

  • Slicing and shaving meat, including the most tender cuts
  • Cutting and portioning fish
  • Chopping and slicing vegetables
  • Cutting fruit

Care and sharpening

Rinse the cleaver with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the cleaver should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, take care with food that contains bones, and leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder 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°.

About the Arny series

The Arny series was created for versatility that traditional models do not offer. It brings together two chopping knives: one that resembles an Asian chef's knife, and this cleaver with its curved cutting edge. Every Arny knife has an AUS-8 stainless steel blade and a TPE handle, comes in a gift box and, like all SAMURA knives, carries a 2-year warranty.

Care & sharpening

Keep it sharp

  • Before first use, rinse with hot water and wipe dry.
  • Use only on wooden or plastic cutting boards, never on glass.
  • Take care with food that contains bones: use a SAMURA cleaver for meat and bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food.
  • Clean by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe dry. A dishwasher is not recommended.
  • Do not leave knives in the sink for a long time.
  • Store in a brush block or knife holder so that the blade does not touch metal items.
  • Sharpen on a whetstone and keep the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, moving the edge along the rod from the handle to the point.
  • Never test sharpness with bare hands; use a piece of paper.
