The details
A closer look
The Samura Pro-S Lunar santoku knife is a versatile Japanese-style kitchen knife with a 180 mm blade, made for a wide range of everyday cutting tasks. Its santoku shape is designed for slicing, dicing and chopping, and the name translates as "three virtues", referring to its ability to handle meat, fish and vegetables. The hammered blade is 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel, and the handle is black G-10.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from VG-10 Damascus steel built up in 67 layers and hardened to 60–61 HRC. This hardness helps the edge stay keen through daily prep, and a whetstone restores it when it needs sharpening. A hard edge asks for a little care in return: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.
The hammered finish shows irregular pocking inspired by the surface of the moon, which gives the blade its distinctive look. The broad santoku blade gives you good control and balance for precise cuts, and the double-bevel edge is ground on both sides for simple upkeep on a whetstone.
Handle and balance
The handle is black G-10, a high-pressure fibreglass made from multilayered glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin. The material is strong, lightweight and moisture-resistant, and SAMURA uses it to strengthen the handle's structure. A stainless steel bolster joins handle and blade. The knife weighs 224 g and measures 306 mm overall.
Best uses
- Slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables
- Slicing fruit
- Slicing and portioning boneless meat
- Cutting and portioning fish
- Slicing bread
Care and sharpening
Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it 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, use a SAMURA cleaver for meat and bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder so the blade does not touch metal items. 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°.

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.
