The details
A closer look
The Samura Blacksmith utility knife is a medium-sized knife with a 162 mm blade for precise, finer cutting work. You can use it to slice and chop smaller foods such as fruit, vegetables, herbs, cheese and sausage, and to cut bread. The hammered AUS-8 stainless steel blade is fitted with a black Micarta handle, and the knife comes in a gift box.
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 daily cooking: the edge holds up well to regular use and is straightforward to restore on a whetstone when it needs it. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.
Blacksmith knives are made in line with traditional forging technology and go through extensive manual processing. The hammered finish gives each blade its own hammering pattern, and the edge is sharpened by hand on a whetstone to a convex profile, in which the sides of the blade curve gently into the cutting edge. The blade is 42 mm high.
Handle and balance
The durable black Micarta handle has a classic oval shape that gives you a confident grip and stays comfortable through long prep sessions. A stainless steel bolster joins the blade to the handle. The knife weighs 174 g and measures 305 mm overall.
Best uses
- Slicing and chopping fruit and vegetables
- Fine cutting work on herbs and smaller ingredients
- Slicing cheese
- Slicing sausage
- 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.
