Samura Butcher Contemporary Chef Knife 150 mm

The Samura Butcher contemporary chef knife is an everyday all-rounder with a 150 mm blade. Use it for boneless meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and bread. It pairs a hand-sharpened AUS-8 stainless steel blade with a curved, textured black TPE handle.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. Hard steel like this keeps its edge for a long time, and when it starts to dull, you restore it on a whetstone.

Like every Butcher knife, it has a convex edge, sharpened by hand. SAMURA uses this convex technique for a durable, even edge that slices through fibres cleanly, without leaving rough edges.

Handle and balance

The curved handle is made of black TPE and has a textured, non-slip grip surface. The texture helps you keep a secure hold, even with wet hands, so you can make confident, quick cuts. The knife weighs 149 g and measures 280 mm overall.

Best uses

• Slicing and portioning boneless meat
• Cutting and portioning fish
• Chopping, slicing and dicing vegetables
• Cutting and slicing fruit
• 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, wipe it dry and do not leave it in the sink for long; a dishwasher is not recommended. 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 sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.
