Its length gives you plenty of edge for bigger prep jobs: slicing and portioning boneless meat, cutting fish, chopping vegetables and cutting bread. The hand-sharpened AUS-8 stainless steel blade is paired with a curved black TPE handle with a textured grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. Steel at this hardness keeps its edge well through everyday cutting, and you can restore it on a whetstone when it starts to dull. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but the knife still needs washing and drying soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Butcher knife is sharpened by hand with a \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: the sides of the blade curve gently into the edge instead of meeting in a flat V. SAMURA uses this technique for a durable, even edge that slices through fibres cleanly, without leaving rough cuts. The blade is 240 mm long and 50 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is made of black \u003cstrong\u003eTPE\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a curved shape and a \u003cstrong\u003etextured, non-slip grip surface\u003c\/strong\u003e. The texture helps you keep a secure hold, even with wet hands, so you can make confident, quick cuts. The knife weighs 192 g and measures 368 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and portioning boneless meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping and slicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDicing onions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Butcher series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/butcher\"\u003eButcher series\u003c\/a\u003e pairs manually sharpened AUS-8 stainless steel blades with curved TPE handles and a textured grip, built around what butchers value most: comfort, safety and efficiency.
