The details
A closer look
The Samura Shadow knife set brings together three kitchen knives: a 99 mm paring knife, a 150 mm utility knife and a 208 mm chef's knife. Together they take you from peeling potatoes and cutting cheese to chopping herbs, slicing meat and preparing fish. All three knives share the series' sleek black-on-black look.
Blade and steel
Each blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edges hold up well to everyday cutting, and when they need it, a whetstone brings them back without much effort. Every knife has a double-bevel edge, ground on both sides, which keeps resharpening straightforward.
The blades carry a black non-stick coating. It helps keep food from sticking to the blade as you slice and gives the knives their distinctive dark look.
The paring knife has a short blade for peeling, while the chef's knife has a long, wide blade designed for cutting, chopping and shredding.
Handle and balance
The black handles are made of ABS plastic, a durable material that is comfortable to hold. The three knives weigh 223 g net in total.

What's in the set

- Utility knife 150 mm
- Chef's knife 208 mm
Care and sharpening
Before first use, rinse the knives with hot water and wipe them dry. Clean them by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry them after each use; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knives should not be left in the sink for long. Use wooden or plastic boards, never glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Keep the knives in a brush block or knife holder where the blades do 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.
