The details
A closer look
The Samura Shadow nakiri knife with engraving is a Japanese-style vegetable knife with a 170 mm blade. Its wide, very thin blade, shaped a little like a hatchet, lets you chop a salad quickly or make fine cuts in vegetables without crushing them. This is the engraved version, finished in the black-on-black look of the Shadow series.
Blade and steel
The blade is a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. The edge holds up well in everyday vegetable prep, and when it starts to dull, you can restore it on a whetstone without much effort. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.
A black non-stick coating covers the blade. It helps keep slices from sticking as you cut and gives the knife its dark, understated look. At 51 mm high, the blade gives your knuckles room above the board.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of black ABS plastic, a durable material that is comfortable to hold. The knife weighs 131 g and measures 299 mm overall, so it stays light in your hand while you work through a pile of vegetables.
Best uses
- Chopping vegetables for salads
- Slicing vegetables finely
- Making filigree cuts in vegetables
- Chopping herbs
- Slicing and cutting fruit
Care and sharpening
Before first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials, wipe it dry and do not leave it in the sink for long; a dishwasher is not recommended. Use it on wooden or plastic boards only, never on glass, and turn to a SAMURA cleaver for bones and a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade for frozen food. Keep it 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.
