They cover everyday prep, from fine work on cheese, sausage and fruit to cutting vegetables and slicing boneless meat and fish. The set comes wrapped in a decorative Japanese-style chef-roll inside a gift box, so it works as a present as well as for your own kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three blades are made from a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is a practical hardness for daily cooking: the edges hold up well to regular use, and you can restore them on a whetstone when they need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlacksmith knives are made in line with traditional forging technology and go through extensive manual processing. Each blade has a \u003cstrong\u003ehammered finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with its own unique hammering pattern and is sharpened by hand on a whetstone to a \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: the sides of the blade curve gently into the cutting edge instead of meeting in a flat V-shaped bevel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe durable \u003cstrong\u003eblack Micarta handles\u003c\/strong\u003e have a classic oval shape that gives you a confident grip and stays comfortable through long prep sessions.

Blacksmith knives are noticeably heavier than other SAMURA knives; together, the three weigh 639 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise, fine cutting of cheese, sausage, fruit and vegetables with the utility knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting vegetables into even slices with the straight, square-tipped nakiri blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping, cubing, dicing and mincing with the santoku knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing boneless meat and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtility knife 162 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNakiri knife 168 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSantoku knife 182 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse 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. Store the knives in a brush block or knife holder where 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Blacksmith series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blacksmith\"\u003eBlacksmith series\u003c\/a\u003e pays homage to traditional forging: hand-made knives, each with its own hammering pattern, fitted with oval Micarta handles and made for a wide range of everyday cutting tasks.
