Samura Mo-V Steak Knife 120 mm

The Samura Mo-V steak knife is a table knife with a 120 mm blade, made for cutting steak, other meat dishes and fish on the plate. Its single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade is paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster, in the same contemporary design as the rest of the Mo-V range.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness keeps the edge in good shape through regular use at the table, and it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone when needed. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after the meal.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. You can keep it in shape with a honing rod and a whetstone.

Handle and balance

The black G-10 handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant, and it is paired with a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 91 g and measures 235 mm overall.

Best uses

• Cutting steak at the table
• Cutting other meat dishes on the plate
• Cutting fish dishes

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it after each meal; 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 meat with bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.
