Samura Mo-V Small Butcher Knife 155 mm

The Samura Mo-V small butcher knife is a meat knife with a 155 mm blade. Use it to cut, portion and trim boneless meat in your everyday cooking. Like the rest of the Mo-V series, it is made for everyone from home cooks to kitchen professionals.

Blade and steel

The blade is a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edge holds up well to regular use, and you can bring it back on a whetstone when it dulls. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel; to keep it in good condition, wash and dry the knife soon after use.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides of the blade, so resharpening is straightforward. The blade is 34 mm high.

Handle and balance

The black G-10 handle is ergonomic and durable, resists moisture and stands up to mechanical stress. It is paired with a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 192 g net and measures 291 mm overall.

Best uses

• Cutting and portioning boneless meat
• Cutting meat into slices, strips or cubes
• Trimming meat before 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 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 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°.
