The details
A closer look
The Samura Okinawa Slicing Knife Tanto is a long slicer for meat, fish and sausage, with a 230 mm AUS-8 stainless steel blade and a rosewood handle. Like the rest of the Okinawa series, it is made for slicing fish fillets in a single smooth motion and for preparing your favourite Japanese dishes.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edge keeps its sharpness well through everyday cooking, and you can restore it on a whetstone. The blade is 37 mm high.
The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides of the blade. That makes it easy to look after: you sharpen each side in turn at the same angle.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of rosewood, the wood used on every knife in the Okinawa series, and it is fitted with a nylon bolster. The knife weighs 121 g net and measures 384 mm overall.
Best uses
- Slicing boneless meat
- Slicing fish fillets
- Portioning fish
- Slicing sausage
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water before first use and wipe it dry. After that, clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials, wipe it dry and store it in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not sit in the sink for long. Use wooden or plastic boards rather than glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife. Keep the original factory bevel angle of 15–17° when you sharpen on a whetstone, and use a honing rod between sharpenings, drawing the edge along the rod from the handle to the point.
About the Okinawa 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.
