Samura Bamboo Knife Block Set, 5 pcs

The Samura Bamboo knife block set brings together four kitchen knives and a brush holder to keep them in. The 80 mm paring knife, 125 mm utility knife, 200 mm slicing knife and 200 mm chef's knife cover most everyday prep, from peeling fruit to slicing meat, fish, sausage and cheese. It is a practical set for your own kitchen and a thoughtful gift for a keen cook.

Blade and steel

All four blades are made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This gives you a practical balance: the edges hold up well to daily use, and when they need attention, they are straightforward to restore on a whetstone. Each knife has a double-bevel edge, ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening simple.

Handle and balance

Every knife has a stainless steel handle shaped like a bamboo stem, the signature of the series. The thin blades and ergonomic handles keep the knives light. The complete set, brush holder included, weighs 2270 g.

Best uses

• Peeling, coring and cutting small fruit and vegetables with the paring knife
• Peeling vegetables and fruit and slicing sausage or cheese with the utility knife
• Cutting thin, even slices of meat, poultry, fish and sausage with the slicing knife
• Chopping vegetables, slicing boneless meat and cutting bread with the chef's knife

What's in the set

• Paring knife 80 mm
• Utility knife 125 mm
• Slicing knife 200 mm
• Chef's knife 200 mm
• Brush holder

The brush holder suits any type of knife. Knives inserted into it are stored safely and kept from touching neighbouring blades.

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. Keep the knives in the brush holder so 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°.
