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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe knife is crafted from a single piece of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is sharpened by hand to a \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e. SAMURA uses this convex sharpening for longer-lasting sharpness and less drag as the blade moves through food. The blade is 48 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehollow stainless steel handle\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and portioning boneless meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping vegetables and dicing onions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse 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°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Stark series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stark\"\u003eStark series\u003c\/a\u003e brings together one-piece AUS-8 steel construction, convex edges sharpened by hand and hollow, ergonomic handles.
