The details

A closer look

The Samura Damascus chef's knife is an all-round kitchen knife with a 200 mm blade. Its wide blade and long cutting edge, which rises towards the point, take on most everyday prep: shredding cabbage, cutting vegetables, slicing meat, portioning fish and cutting bread. It pairs a 67-layer Damascus steel blade with a black G-10 handle.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and hardened to 60–61 HRC. A hard blade holds its edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. In return, a hard edge asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.

The convex edge is sharpened on both sides, with an original factory sharpening angle of 16–18°. Keep to this angle when you resharpen it on a whetstone. The blade is 200 mm long and 46 mm high.

Handle and balance

The ergonomic black G-10 handle is made of a moisture-resistant material. A stainless steel bolster adds durability and control, and it keeps your hand from coming into contact with the food. The knife weighs 238 g and measures 338 mm overall.

Best uses

  • Shredding cabbage and chopping vegetables
  • Slicing and dicing boneless meat
  • Cutting and portioning fish
  • Slicing fruit
  • Cutting bread

Care and sharpening

Rinse 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 sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 16–18°.

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 sharpening angle of this blade (16–18°). 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.
