Samura Harakiri Knife Set, 3 pcs, Utility, Two-sided Saw & Chef's Knives, Black Handle

The Samura Harakiri knife set brings together three knives for everyday kitchen prep: a 150 mm utility knife, a 180 mm two-sided saw knife for bread and frozen food, and a 208 mm chef's knife. With one matching set you can prepare meat, fish and vegetables, slice bread and cut frozen food. All three knives have AUS-8 stainless steel blades and black ABS plastic handles.

Blade and steel

The blades are made from AUS-8 stainless steel and hardened to 58–59 HRC. In practice, the edge holds up well to daily cutting and is straightforward to restore on a whetstone when it needs sharpening. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, which makes everyday care simpler.

The chef's knife has a wide, long blade for chopping and slicing, while the utility knife has a medium-sized blade for smaller tasks. The two-sided saw knife has a serrated blade made for bread and frozen food, so you can keep the other two knives away from frozen ingredients, as SAMURA recommends.

Handle and balance

The handles are made of durable black ABS plastic and secured with classic rivets. Like the rest of the Harakiri series, the knives have a full-tang construction and are light in the hand. The set weighs 262 g net.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knives with hot water and wipe them dry before first use. 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. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, and store the knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items.
