The details
A closer look
The Samura Bamboo utility knife is a universal kitchen knife with a 150 mm blade. Use it to cut fruit and vegetables for salads and desserts, slice sausage or cheese, or prepare the ingredients for a sandwich. The blade and the bamboo-shaped handle are both steel, so the knife has an all-metal build, and it suits home and professional kitchens alike.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up well to everyday cutting, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.
The blade is thin, in keeping with the Bamboo series design. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, and its 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. Its ribbed, anatomically shaped profile gives you a firm, secure grip and helps stop the knife from turning in your hand, even when your hand is wet. The knife weighs 67 g and measures 256 mm overall, so it is light in the hand.
Best uses

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.
