It covers everyday prep, from chopping and dicing vegetables to slicing boneless meat, portioning fish and cutting bread. Like the whole Pro-S series, it is made for old-school and modern cooks who put performance and comfort first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from a \u003cstrong\u003esingle layer of AUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. AUS-8 is known for its durability and for keeping its sharpness through regular use. At this hardness the edge holds up well to daily cooking and can be restored on a whetstone when it dulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening straightforward. The knife combines the santoku shape with the classic European build of the series and a \u003cstrong\u003efull-tang blade\u003c\/strong\u003e, 175 mm long and 49 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10 handle\u003c\/strong\u003e has the European style of the Pro-S series and is fitted with rivets. G-10 is a durable handle material, and the ergonomic shape gives you a firm, comfortable grip. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between the blade and the handle.

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. 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Pro-S series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-s\"\u003ePro-S series\u003c\/a\u003e is a versatile SAMURA collection of the essential knives every kitchen needs, all with AUS-8 stainless steel blades and black G-10 handles.
