Samura Butcher Knife Set, 6 pcs

The Samura Butcher knife set gathers six specialist knives for preparing meat and fish, from a 156 mm small butcher knife to a 253 mm long slicer. You get a dedicated blade for trimming, deboning, filleting and slicing, and a carry bag is included.

Blade and steel

All six 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.

Every knife in the set is 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.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the 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 chopping through bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a 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°.
