Samura Mo-V Boning Knife 165 mm

The Samura Mo-V boning knife has a 165 mm blade for working close to the bone. Use it to take meat off the bone, work your way around joints and trim away fat and sinew before cooking. The single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade is paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. For boning work this is a practical balance: the edge holds up well to regular trimming and deboning, and it is straightforward to bring back on a whetstone when it starts to dull. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. The blade is 165 mm long and 30 mm high.

Handle and balance

The black G-10 handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant. A stainless steel bolster sits between the handle and the blade. The knife weighs 176 g and measures 303 mm overall.

Best uses

• Taking meat off the bone
• Boning poultry
• Working around joints
• Trimming fat, sinew and silver skin
• Preparing boneless cuts for cooking

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; 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, and work along and around bones rather than through them: leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. 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°.
