Samura Bamboo Bread Knife 200 mm

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness, the edge holds up well to everyday cutting. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.

The wavy serrated edge is made for a firm crust: it then cuts the soft or juicy core gently, without crushing or crumbling it. The 200 mm length gives you room to slice loaves and fruit of different sizes.

The silver handle is made of stainless steel and shaped like a bamboo stem, the signature of the series. Its unusual shape gives the knife a stylish look, and the handle is ergonomically shaped. The knife weighs 111 g and measures 324 mm overall.

• Slicing crusty bread and loaves

• Cutting citrus fruit

• Slicing soft, juicy fruit and vegetables without crushing them

Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it 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 knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items, use a honing rod between sharpenings and, when the edge needs it, sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

The Bamboo series is known for its full metal body: AUS-8 steel blades paired with stainless steel handles shaped like a bamboo stem. Ergonomic handles run through the range, which covers an array of knife types. Like all SAMURA knives, they come with a 2-year warranty.
