The details
A closer look
The Samura Bamboo chef's knife is a European-style all-rounder with a 200 mm blade, made to take on most of the cutting jobs in your kitchen. You can use it to chop and slice vegetables and fruit, portion boneless meat and fish, and cut bread. Its full metal build pairs a single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade with a stainless steel handle shaped like a bamboo stem.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. That is a practical hardness for everyday cooking: the edge holds up well to regular use, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.
The 46 mm high blade rises to the point, and the length near the tip is enough for finer work, so it suits both slicing and chopping. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening on a whetstone straightforward; the original factory bevel angle is 15–17°.
Handle and balance
The silver handle is made of stainless steel and shaped like a bamboo stem, the signature of the series. Together, the thin blade and the ergonomic handle keep the knife light in your hand. The knife weighs 113 g and measures 321 mm overall.
Best uses
- Chopping and dicing vegetables
- Slicing fruit
- Slicing and portioning boneless meat
- Cutting and portioning fish
- Cutting bread
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. 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 resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

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.
