Samura Reptile Bread Knife 235 mm

The Samura Reptile bread knife has a 235 mm blade with a serrated edge, made for all kinds of bread, from crusty baguettes to soft sandwich bread. You can also use it for fruit and vegetables.

Blade and steel

The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-10 stainless steel, hardened to 59–61 HRC. A hard blade holds its edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. AUS-10 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.

The serrated edge has evenly spaced, evenly sized serrations, designed to cut smoothly through the loaf without tearing it. The blade has a satin finish.

Handle and balance

The silver handle is made of stainless steel and has the ribbed shape of the Reptile series. The ribbed handle and low weight are designed to make the knife comfortable to hold. The knife weighs 143 g net and measures 380 mm overall.

Best uses

• Slicing crusty loaves and baguettes
• Cutting soft sandwich bread
• Slicing fruit
• Cutting vegetables

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 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, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade, 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 sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.

About the Reptile series
