The details

A closer look

The Samura Pearl oyster knife is a specialised tool for opening oysters, with a 73 mm blade and a black handle. Its lens-shaped blade slips easily between the shells, and the form-fitting handle lets you shuck with confidence and speed. You can also use it for cheese.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness is a practical balance: the edge holds up well in regular use, and you can restore it on a whetstone without much effort. AUS-8 is a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.

The lens-shaped blade has a sharp tip and a thin, curved edge. The shape is designed to slip between the shells of an oyster, so you can work the tip in and prise the shell open.

Handle and balance

The black handle is made of TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer that is soft and comfortable to hold. Its form-fitting shape and non-slip texture are designed to give you a secure grip, even when the handle is wet. The knife measures 197 mm overall and weighs 120 g net.

Best uses

  • Shucking oysters
  • Cutting cheese

Care and sharpening

Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. After each use, 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 a long time. Cut cheese on a wooden or plastic board, never on glass, and 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 sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

About the Pearl 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.
