Samura Butcher Knife Set, 3 pcs

The Samura Butcher knife set brings together two knives for meat and the tool to keep them in shape: a 195 mm butcher knife for cutting and portioning meat, a 173 mm skinning knife for removing skin and trimming, and a honing rod. The two knives and the honing rod make up the three pieces, and a carry bag is included as well.

Blade and steel

Both blades are made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. Steel at this hardness keeps its sharpness for a long time through regular meat prep, yet it is still easy to bring back on a whetstone when it starts to dull.

Both knives are sharpened by hand to a convex edge. SAMURA uses this technique for a durable, even edge that slices through fibres cleanly, without leaving rough cuts.

Handle and balance

The handles are made of black TPE, with a curved shape and 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.

Best uses

• Cutting and portioning boneless meat with the butcher knife
• Removing skin and trimming meat with the skinning knife
• Adjusting both cutting edges with the honing rod between sharpenings

What's in the set

• Butcher knife 195 mm
• Skinning knife 173 mm
• Honing rod
• Carry bag

Care and sharpening

Rinse both knives with hot water and wipe them dry before first use. Wash them by hand with non-abrasive materials, wipe them dry and store them in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items; do not leave them in the sink for long, and 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. Use the included honing rod between sharpenings, moving the edge along the rod from the handle to the point, and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.
