Use it to cut large pieces of boneless meat and thick vegetables, and for everyday work with fish and bread. The hammered blade is 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel, and the handle is black G-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from \u003cstrong\u003eVG-10 Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e built up in \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e60–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. This hardness helps the edge stay keen through daily cutting, and a whetstone restores it when it needs sharpening. Treat the hard edge with a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long, broad blade gives you good leverage and control, so large ingredients are easier to cut precisely.

It is crafted to reduce moisture and strengthen the handle's structure, and the material is strong, lightweight and moisture-resistant. A stainless steel bolster completes the handle. The knife weighs 260 g and measures 369 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and portioning large cuts of boneless meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping thick vegetables and dicing onions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry after each use; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave the knife in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and use a SAMURA cleaver for meat and bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food. Keep the edge in shape with a honing rod between sharpenings, and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. Store the knife in a brush block or knife holder so the blade does not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Pro-S Lunar series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-s-lunar\"\u003ePro-S Lunar collection\u003c\/a\u003e is inspired by the surface of the moon, with hammered Damascus steel blades whose irregular pocking mirrors its battered terrain.
