Samura Damascus Knife Set, 3 pcs

The Samura Damascus knife set brings together three core kitchen knives: a 90 mm paring knife, a 125 mm utility knife and a 200 mm chef's knife. Between them they cover everyday prep, from cutting fruit and vegetables to slicing bread, cheese and sausage, cutting meat and portioning fish. All three have blades made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and black G-10 handles.

Blade and steel

All three blades are made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and hardened to 60–61 HRC. Hard blades hold their edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. In return, they ask for a little care: keep them away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.

Each knife has a convex edge, sharpened on both sides with an original factory sharpening angle of 16–18°. Keep to this angle for all three when you sharpen them on a whetstone.

Handle and balance

Every knife in the set has an ergonomic black G-10 handle, made of a moisture-resistant material, with a stainless steel bolster for durability and control. Together, the three knives weigh 430 g.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knives with hot water and wipe them dry before first use. After that, wash them by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe them dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave them 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 knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items, use a honing rod between sharpenings and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 16–18°.
