Description

The Samura Okinawa Stonewash santoku knife is a Japanese-style all-round kitchen knife with a 175 mm blade. It covers everyday prep, from boneless meat and fish to vegetables and bread. The blade is AUS-8 stainless steel with a stonewash finish, and the handle is rosewood.

Blade and steel

The blade is a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant steel. At this hardness the edge holds up well to regular use and can be restored on a whetstone when it dulls. The blade is 47 mm high.

The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides of the blade, which keeps resharpening straightforward. The blade also has a stonewash finish: the Okinawa series is offered with a plain AUS-8 or an AUS-8 Stonewash blade, and this santoku is the stonewash version.

Handle and balance

Like every knife in the Okinawa series, this santoku has a rosewood handle, here with a nylon bolster. The knife weighs 131 g net and measures 330 mm overall.

Best uses

Slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables
Cutting boneless meat into slices, strips or cubes
Portioning and slicing 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 do not leave it 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 Okinawa Stonewash series

Every knife in the Okinawa Stonewash collection, the stonewash line of the Okinawa series, has a corrosion-resistant AUS-8 blade in a classic Japanese shape and a rosewood handle. The series reflects SAMURA's deep respect for Japanese knife-making traditions, and like all SAMURA knives, this santoku comes with a 2-year warranty.
