The details
A closer look
With a beige handle and a 73 mm blade, the Samura Pearl oyster knife is made for one job above all: opening oysters. The lens-shaped blade slips between the shells, and the form-fitting handle lets you shuck with confidence and speed. It is useful for cheese, too.
Blade and steel
SAMURA makes the blade from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel and hardens it to 58–59 HRC. For you, that means an edge that copes well with regular use and is easy to touch up on a whetstone when it needs it. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but like any knife it should still be washed by hand and dried soon after use.
The lens-shaped blade has a sharp tip and a thin, curved edge. Slip the tip between the two halves of the shell and use it to prise the oyster open.
Handle and balance
The beige handle is made from TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer that feels soft and pleasant in the hand. Thanks to its form-fitting shape and non-slip texture, it gives you a secure grip, even when it is wet. Overall, the knife measures 197 mm and weighs 120 g net.
Best uses
- Shucking oysters quickly and with confidence
- Slipping the tip between the shells and prising them open
- Cutting cheese
Care and sharpening
Before its first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. After that, clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left lying in the sink. Keep it in a brush block or knife holder where the blade cannot touch metal items. Look after the edge with a honing rod between sharpenings, and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

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.
