The details
A closer look
The Samura Stark chef's knife is an all-round kitchen knife with a 182 mm blade. You can use it for meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and bread, so it covers most of your everyday prep. Blade and handle are both stainless steel, made as one piece.
Blade and steel
The knife is crafted from a single piece of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. For home cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to regular use and can be restored on a whetstone when it dulls. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and it stays in good condition when you wash and dry the knife soon after use.
The blade is sharpened by hand to a convex edge. SAMURA uses this convex sharpening for longer-lasting sharpness and less drag as the blade moves through food. The blade is 48 mm high.
Handle and balance
The hollow stainless steel handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort and a firm, non-slip grip. Stark knives are precisely balanced for efficient work when you have a lot of food to prepare. The knife weighs 172 g net and measures 320 mm overall.
Best uses
- Slicing and portioning boneless meat
- Cutting and portioning fish
- Chopping vegetables and dicing onions
- Slicing fruit
- Cutting bread
Care and sharpening
Rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use; after that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away. A dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, and 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.
