Description

The Samura Harakiri cleaver is a chef's cleaver with a 180 mm blade and a black handle, made for chopping and portioning meat and fish. Its broad blade is 91 mm high, and at 296 g the knife has a weight suited to working with solid food. It is also the knife the SAMURA care guide recommends for meat with bones, so your other knives do not have to take on that job.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edge copes with regular chopping, and you can restore it on a whetstone without much effort. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the cleaver soon after use.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with a factory sharpening angle of 40°. This angle helps the finishing grind last a long time while the blade stays sharp.

Handle and balance

The black handle is made of durable ABS plastic. Like the rest of the Harakiri series, the cleaver has a full-tang construction, and the handle is secured with three classic rivets. Its ergonomic geometry and the balance between blade and handle make the work easier. It measures 307 mm overall.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the cleaver with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 40°, and store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.
