Together they cover meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, bread, cheese and sausage. All five have AUS-8 stainless steel blades and black ABS plastic handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blades are made from a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edges hold up well to daily cutting, and when they need attention, they are straightforward to restore on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but the knives still need washing and drying by hand, as described below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery knife has a \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e, ground on both sides. The shapes differ: the paring knife has a short blade, the utility knife a medium-sized one, the nakiri a wide, medium-sized blade and the chef's knife a wide, long blade. The santoku has a traditional Japanese blade form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handles are made of durable \u003cstrong\u003eblack ABS plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.

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 and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Harakiri series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/harakiri\"\u003eHarakiri series\u003c\/a\u003e is a modern collection of kitchen knives in the classic European style, made from AUS-8 steel with durable ABS plastic handles.
