It is made for the everyday jobs that need more precision and control than a larger knife gives you: slicing vegetables and fruit, cutting sandwiches, and slicing cheese and sausage. The blade is AUS-10 stainless steel with a convex edge, and the ribbed handle is stainless steel as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single-layer blade is \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-10 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e59–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. At this hardness the edge stays sharp for a long time between sharpenings. In return, it asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards. AUS-10 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so the knife stays in good condition when you wash and dry it soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the Reptile series design: the bevel is gently rounded instead of ground flat. The blade carries a \u003cstrong\u003esatin finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is \u003cstrong\u003esilver stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with the ribbed shape that marks the Reptile series. SAMURA describes the series as ultra-light, and together with the ribbed grip this lets the knife sit comfortably in your hand. The medium-sized blade is easy to guide and control. The knife weighs 110 g net and is 315 mm long overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and dicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and slicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread and sandwiches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing sausage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore first use, rinse the knife in hot water and wipe it dry. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not sit in the sink for long. Work on wooden or plastic boards rather than glass, use a SAMURA cleaver for bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Between sharpenings, use a honing rod, and when the edge needs more, sharpen it on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Reptile series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile\"\u003eReptile series\u003c\/a\u003e takes its inspiration from the Mesozoic era, when giant reptiles roamed the Earth, and SAMURA calls it a marriage between heritage and contemporary design. Every knife in the series combines an AUS-10 stainless steel blade with a ribbed stainless steel handle, and like all SAMURA knives, it comes with a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAMURA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55532872335700,"sku":"SRP-0023G","price":169.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/1484\/5268\/files\/b8e0aa2b123b0f5f9b8bf1fbbb912eb8.jpg?v=1776066849","url":"https:\/\/samura.com\/products\/samura-reptile-utility-knife-168-mm-with-engraving","provider":"SAMURA.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
