The details
A closer look
The Samura Reptile cleaver has a 158 mm blade made for meat and fish. Use it to chop and portion meat, break down larger cuts or cut fish into portions. The blade is AUS-10 stainless steel with a convex edge, and the ribbed handle is stainless steel.
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 cleaver soon after use.
The edge has the convex sharpening of the Reptile series: the bevel is gently rounded rather than ground flat. The blade is 158 mm long and 70 mm high, with a satin finish.
Handle and balance
The silver handle is made of stainless steel and has the ribbed shape that marks the Reptile series. The series is designed around an ultra-light weight, and together with the ribbed handle this lets the cleaver sit comfortably in your hand. It weighs 160 g net and measures 301 mm overall.
Best uses
- Chopping and portioning meat
- Breaking down larger cuts of meat
- Chopping meat finely by hand
- Cutting and portioning fish
Care and sharpening
Rinse the cleaver 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 cleaver should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, take care with food that contains bones, and leave frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the cleaver 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°.

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.
