It is made for everyday cutting jobs: fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese and sausage. If you want one handy knife for quick daily prep, it is a practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. This level of hardness suits home cooking well: the edge copes with daily use, and it is not difficult to restore on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides of the blade, so it is simple to keep sharp with a honing rod and a whetstone.

After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away; 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, leave meat with bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, and 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Harakiri series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/harakiri\"\u003eHarakiri series\u003c\/a\u003e is a sleek, modern SAMURA collection with AUS-8 steel blades in the classic European style.
