Samura Mo-V Long Slicer Knife 251 mm

The Samura Mo-V long slicer knife has a 251 mm blade for slicing meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, bread and sausage. Its length suits carving roasts and slicing larger foods in long strokes. 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. The steel is durable and corrosion-resistant, and it keeps its cutting edge for a long time. When the edge does need attention, this hardness makes it straightforward to restore on a whetstone.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. The blade is 251 mm long with a blade height of 32 mm.

Handle and balance

The handle is made of black G-10. It is ergonomic and durable, and it resists mechanical stress, humidity and high temperatures. A stainless steel bolster sits between the handle and the blade. The knife weighs 202 g and measures 400 mm overall.

Best uses

• Carving roasts and slicing cooked meat

• Cutting large vegetables and fruit
• Slicing bread
• Slicing sausage

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, and take care with food that contains bones: use a SAMURA cleaver for chopping meat and bones and a double-sided serrated saw knife for frozen food. 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°.
