It covers everyday prep: slicing and dicing vegetables, cutting fruit, preparing boneless meat and fish, and cutting bread. The single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade is paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster.\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. At this hardness the edge stands up to everyday kitchen use, and you can bring it back on a whetstone at home. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but you should still wash the knife by hand and dry it after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides and has an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. An edge ground on both sides is straightforward to maintain. The blade is 138 mm long and 36 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between the handle and the blade; SAMURA adds it for improved hygiene. The knife weighs 106 g and measures 255 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and dicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and slicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing boneless meat into smaller portions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water before first use, then 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 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Mo-V series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mo-v\"\u003eMo-V series\u003c\/a\u003e combines AUS-8 stainless steel with a contemporary design and offers a wide range of knife types for home cooks and kitchen professionals.
