The details
A closer look
The Samura Pro-S Lunar nakiri knife is a Japanese-style vegetable knife with a 167 mm blade. Its straight edge and flat blade are designed for chopping and slicing vegetables precisely and efficiently, and it also handles fruit. The hammered blade is 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel, paired with a black G-10 handle.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from VG-10 Damascus steel built up in 67 layers and hardened to 60–61 HRC. At this hardness the edge stays keen through regular use, and when it does dull, a whetstone brings it back. A hard edge asks for a little care in return: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.
The surface has a hammered finish with irregular pocking, inspired by the surface of the moon. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, which makes it straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of black G-10, a high-pressure fibreglass of multilayered glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin. It is crafted to reduce moisture and strengthen the handle's structure, and the material is strong, lightweight and moisture-resistant. The handle has a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 231 g and measures 302 mm overall.
Best uses
- Chopping vegetables precisely and efficiently
- Slicing vegetables
- Dicing onions
- Slicing and cutting fruit
Care and sharpening
Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. After that, 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 long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, then store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.

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.
