Samura Mo-V Stonewash Knife Set, 3 pcs, Gift Box

The Samura Mo-V Stonewash knife set brings three core kitchen knives together in a gift box: a 90 mm paring knife, a 125 mm utility knife and a 200 mm chef's knife. Between them they cover everyday prep, from peeling small fruit and vegetables to cutting cheese and sausage, slicing meat and portioning fish. The set suits home cooks and kitchen professionals alike, and the gift box makes it easy to give as a present.

Blade and steel

All three blades are made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edges hold up well to daily use, and you can restore them on a whetstone when they need it. Each knife has a double-bevel edge, ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening straightforward.

The blades carry a stonewash finish, which gives them their dark colour.

Handle and balance

Every knife has a black G-10 handle. The oval handles are ergonomic and moisture-resistant, and a stainless steel bolster separates each blade from its handle. Together, the three knives have a net weight of 394 g.

Care and sharpening

Rinse the knives with hot water and wipe them dry before first use. After that, wash them by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe them dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knives 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 saw knife with a serrated blade, and store the knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

About the Mo-V Stonewash series

The Mo-V Stonewash series gets its distinct dark blades from stonewashing the metal with millions of small stones. Like all SAMURA knives, the knives in this series come with a 2-year warranty.
