The details
A closer look
The Samura Mo-V Stonewash cleaver is a chef's cleaver with a 180 mm blade for chopping and portioning meat and fish. Its broad blade is 93 mm high, and the knife has a weight suited to working with solid food. The blade is single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel with a dark stonewash finish, and the handle is black G-10.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and at this hardness the edge holds up well to regular chopping; you can restore it on a whetstone when it needs it.
The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, and its factory sharpening angle is 40°. This angle helps the finishing grind last a long time while the blade stays sharp. The stonewash finish gives the blade its dark colour.
Handle and balance
The black G-10 handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant, so it does not swell or change colour with use. A stainless steel bolster separates the blade from the oval handle. The balance between the blade and the handle is designed to make the work easier. The knife weighs 376 g and measures 315 mm overall.
Best uses
- Chopping and portioning meat
- Chopping meat on the bone
- Dividing large cuts of meat into smaller pieces
- Cutting and portioning fish
Care and sharpening
Rinse the cleaver with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and use the cleaver for meat and bones but leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 40°, and store the cleaver in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.
About the Mo-V Stonewash series

Care & sharpening
Keep it sharp
- Before first use, rinse with hot water and wipe dry.
- Use only on wooden or plastic cutting boards, never on glass.
- Take care with food that contains bones: use a SAMURA cleaver for meat and bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food.
- Clean by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe dry. A dishwasher is not recommended.
- Do not leave knives in the sink for a long time.
- Store in a brush block or knife holder so that the blade does not touch metal items.
- Sharpen on a whetstone and keep the original factory sharpening angle of this blade (40°). Use a honing rod between sharpenings, moving the edge along the rod from the handle to the point.
- Never test sharpness with bare hands; use a piece of paper.
