The details
A closer look
The Samura Shadow slicing knife has a thin, narrow and straight 196 mm blade built for slicing. Use it for meat, ham and fish fillets, and also for sausage, vegetables, fruit and bread. The black-coated blade and black handle give it the sleek black-on-black look of the Shadow series.
Blade and steel
The blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up well to everyday slicing, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.
A black non-stick coating covers the blade. It helps keep food from sticking to the blade as you slice meat or fish. The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, so resharpening stays simple.
Handle and balance
The handle is made of black ABS plastic, a durable material that is comfortable to hold. The knife weighs 89 g and measures 317 mm overall.
Best uses
- Carving boneless meat and slicing ham
- Slicing fish fillets, including for Japanese fish dishes
- Cutting sausage into slices
- Cutting vegetables and fruit
- Cutting bread
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and do not leave it in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. 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 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.
