The details
A closer look
The Samura Pro-S Lunar paring knife is a small, precise knife with a 79 mm blade. It is made for peeling, trimming and slicing fruit and vegetables, and its pointed tip lets you make intricate cuts and do delicate work. The hammered Damascus steel blade carries the moon-surface look of the Pro-S Lunar series.
Blade and steel
The blade is made of VG-10 Damascus steel in 67 layers and hardened to 60–61 HRC. A hard blade holds its edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. In return, it asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.
The blade has a hammered finish, with irregular dimples inspired by the cratered surface of the moon. These small dimples also help keep food from sticking to the blade. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, so it is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone. The blade is 22 mm high.
Handle and balance
The black handle is made of G-10, a high-pressure fibreglass material built from multilayered glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin. It is durable and lightweight, resists moisture and gives the handle structural strength. The handle has a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 90 g net and measures 193 mm overall.
Best uses
- Peeling fruit and vegetables
- Trimming vegetables
- Slicing fruit and other small items
- Intricate cuts and delicate work with the pointed tip
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use; after that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away. 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, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, 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 resharpen 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.
