The details
A closer look
The Samura Stark utility knife is a versatile knife with a 166 mm blade. You can use it for vegetables, fruit, bread, cheese and sausage, so it covers many everyday prep jobs. Blade and handle are both stainless steel.
Blade and steel
SAMURA crafts each Stark knife from a single piece of AUS-8 stainless steel, and the blade is hardened to 58–59 HRC. At this hardness the edge holds up well to regular use, and you can restore it on a whetstone when it dulls. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel; to keep it in good condition, 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 you cut. The blade is 48 mm high.
Handle and balance
SAMURA shapes the hollow stainless steel handle ergonomically 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 182 g net and measures 310 mm overall.
Best uses
- Slicing and trimming vegetables
- Cutting fruit
- Slicing bread
- Cutting cheese into slices or cubes
- Slicing sausage
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.
