Samura Damascus Utility Knife 150 mm

The Samura Damascus utility knife with a 150 mm blade is a versatile kitchen knife for cutting and peeling a wide variety of foods. Its thin blade is suited to fruit, vegetables, cheese, sausage and bread. The blade is made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and paired with a black G-10 handle.

Blade and steel

The thin blade is made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and hardened to 60–61 HRC. Hard steel keeps its edge for a long time, so you can work through a lot of cutting before the knife needs sharpening. A hard edge does ask for some care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass surfaces.

The convex edge is sharpened on both sides, with an original factory sharpening angle of 16–18°. Because the edge is ground on both sides, it is easy to keep in shape with a honing rod and a whetstone.

Handle and balance

The ergonomic black G-10 handle is durable and resistant to moisture. A stainless steel bolster sits between blade and handle, adding durability and giving you full control as you cut. With a net weight of 112 g and an overall length of 270 mm, the knife is light, yet hard-wearing.

Best uses

• Peeling and cutting fruit
• Peeling, slicing and dicing vegetables
• Cutting cheese
• Slicing sausage
• Cutting bread

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then 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°.
