The details
A closer look
The Samura Harakiri hamokiri knife is a long kitchen knife with a 254 mm blade and a black handle. Its length lets you slice meat, fish and sausage in long, even strokes. The single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade is fitted to a full-tang, riveted ABS plastic handle.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness gives you an edge that holds up well through regular slicing, and it stays easy to restore on a whetstone. Because AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant steel, the blade keeps in good condition when you wash and dry it promptly.
The blade is 254 mm long and 53 mm high, with a double-bevel edge ground on both sides. The long edge lets you draw the knife through a large piece of meat or a fish fillet in smooth strokes instead of sawing back and forth, and a double-bevel edge is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of durable black ABS plastic. As across the Harakiri series, it is secured with three classic rivets on a full-tang construction, with the steel running the length of the handle. Despite its long blade, the knife weighs only 157 g and measures 377 mm overall, in line with the lightweight build of the series.
Best uses
- Slicing boneless meat in long, even strokes
- Carving boneless roasts for serving
- Cutting fish fillets into portions
- Slicing sausage
Care and sharpening
Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water and dry it. Clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not sit in the sink for long. Use wooden or plastic boards, never glass, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade, and keep the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Hone the edge between sharpenings by moving it along a honing rod from the handle to the point, and sharpen 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.
