Samura Bamboo Soft Cheese Knife 135 mm

The Samura Bamboo soft cheese knife is made for cutting and serving cheese. Its 135 mm blade has large openings and a forked tip, a geometry designed for working with cheese of any kind. Like the rest of the series, it has a full metal build 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. This gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up well to everyday use, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone.

Between the large openings, only thin strips of steel touch the cheese, so soft cheese is less likely to stick to the blade. The forked tip makes it easy to share out portions of cheese. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening simple.

Handle and balance

The silver handle is made of stainless steel and shaped like a bamboo stem, the signature of the series. It is ergonomic and comfortable to hold. The knife weighs just 53 g and measures 248 mm overall, so it feels light in your hand at the cheese board.

Best uses

• Cutting soft cheese
• Working with cheese of any kind
• Sharing out portions of cheese with the forked tip

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°.
