The details
A closer look
The Samura Mad Bull Serbian chef's knife is a broad, cleaver-style kitchen knife with a 180 mm blade, made as a tribute to the traditional Serbian design. It is a versatile, powerful tool for chopping and portioning meat, cutting fish and preparing vegetables and fruit. This version pairs a hammered AUS-8 stainless steel blade with a marble carbon handle.
Blade and steel
The blade is hand-forged from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel and hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up well to everyday prep, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.
The hammered finish gives the blade its textured look. The convex edge curves gently down to the cutting line instead of meeting it at flat facets. This leaves more steel behind the edge, a sturdy profile for a heavy blade that is made to chop.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of marble carbon and meets the blade at an AUS-8 bolster. The knife has full-tang construction, so the steel runs the full length of the handle for strength and durability. At 633 g and 300 mm overall, it is a substantial knife with the heft you expect from a cleaver.
Best uses
- Chopping, slicing and portioning meat
- Cutting and portioning fish
- Chopping vegetables and dicing onions
- Halving large, firm vegetables such as cabbage
- Slicing and cutting fruit
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it after each use; 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, take care with food that contains bones, and leave 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.
