The details
A closer look
The Samura Mo-V Stonewash santoku knife is a Japanese-style all-rounder with a 180 mm blade. It takes care of everyday chopping, slicing and shredding of vegetables, slices fruit, boneless meat and fish, and also cuts bread. The single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade has a dark stonewash finish and is paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. For everyday cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to regular use, and it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.
The blade follows the traditional santoku shape, with the spine curving down to the point and the centre of gravity shifted forward, which suits chopping and shredding. Hollow-ground notches above the cutting edge help keep food from sticking to the blade. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, and the stonewash finish gives the blade its dark, noble look.
Handle and balance
The oval handle is made of black G-10, an ergonomic and moisture-resistant material. The stainless steel bolster flows smoothly into the handle and keeps your hand away from the food. The knife weighs 219 g and measures 318 mm overall.
Best uses

Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. After that, 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°.
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 bevel angle of 15–17°. 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.
