The details
A closer look
The Samura Harakiri hakata knife is a Japanese-style all-purpose knife with a 166 mm blade and a black handle. It is made for everyday prep of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and bread.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. For home cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to everyday chopping and slicing, and you can bring it back 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 knife soon after use.
The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides of the blade, which keeps resharpening straightforward. The blade is 55 mm high.
Handle and balance
The black handle is made of durable ABS plastic and secured with three classic rivets. Like every knife in the Harakiri series, the hakata has a full-tang construction, so the steel runs through the whole length of the handle. The knife weighs 131 g net and measures 290 mm overall, in line with the lightweight build of the series.
Best uses
- Chopping, slicing and dicing vegetables
- Slicing fruit
- Cutting boneless meat into slices, strips or cubes
- Slicing and portioning fish
- 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 serrated saw knife. 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 resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

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 bevel angle of 15–17°. 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.
