Samura Mo-V Stonewash Chef's Knife 200 mm

The Samura Mo-V Stonewash chef's knife is an all-round kitchen knife with a 200 mm blade. It covers everyday prep, from chopping vegetables and slicing fruit to cutting boneless meat, portioning fish and slicing bread. The single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade has a dark stonewash finish and is paired with a black G-10 handle.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edge stands up to everyday kitchen use, and you can bring it back on a whetstone at home. The double-bevel edge 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 200 mm long and 51 mm high. Its stonewash finish comes from stonewashing the metal with millions of small stones, which gives the blade its dark colour.

Handle and balance

The oval black G-10 handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant. A stainless steel bolster separates the blade from the handle; SAMURA adds it for improved hygiene. The knife weighs 221 g and measures 345 mm overall.

Best uses

• Chopping and slicing vegetables
• Dicing onions
• Slicing and cutting fruit
• Slicing boneless meat
• Cutting and portioning fish
• Slicing bread

Care and sharpening

Rinse 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°.
