The details
A closer look
The Samura Pearl oyster knife pairs a 73 mm stainless steel blade with a coral handle. It is a specialised knife for opening oysters: the lens-shaped blade slips between the shells, and the form-fitting handle helps you shuck with confidence and speed. It also comes in handy for cheese.
Blade and steel
The blade is AUS-8 stainless steel in a single layer, hardened to 58–59 HRC. That hardness keeps the edge in good working order through regular use, while still letting you restore it on a whetstone without much effort. As a durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, AUS-8 stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.
Its lens-shaped profile ends in a sharp tip, with a thin, curved edge. You work the tip in between the two halves of the shell, and the shape helps you prise the oyster open.
Handle and balance
The coral handle is made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which feels soft and comfortable in your hand. A form-fitting shape and a non-slip texture help you keep a secure grip, even when the handle is wet. Overall, the knife is 197 mm long and weighs 120 g net.
Best uses
- Opening oysters
- Cutting cheese
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before you use it for the first time. Clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; using a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave the knife in the sink for long. Cut cheese on a wooden or plastic board rather than glass, and keep the knife in a brush block or knife holder so that the blade does not touch metal items. Between sharpenings, use a honing rod; when it needs sharpening, use a whetstone and keep 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.
