It is a versatile everyday knife for meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. The AUS-8 stainless steel blade has a convex edge, and the black handle is made of TPE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. That hardness suits daily cooking: the edge copes well with regular chopping and slicing, and when it starts to lose its bite, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel; wash and dry the knife soon after use and it stays in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version has a \u003cstrong\u003estonewash finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the two blade finishes in the Sultan Pro series alongside satin. The edge is honed with \u003cstrong\u003econvex sharpening\u003c\/strong\u003e, which SAMURA uses across the Sultan Pro series for longer-lasting sharpness, higher durability and less drag. Less drag means the blade meets less resistance in the food, so your cuts stay smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black \u003cstrong\u003eTPE\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is fashioned after a sabre. It gives you a confident, no-slip grip for strong, true cuts, whether you are slicing vegetables or portioning meat. The knife weighs 165 g net and measures 289 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing boneless meat into strips or cubes\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 and cutting fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water before its first use and wipe it dry. Always 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. Use wooden or plastic boards, never glass, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Keep the edge in shape with 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 Sultan Pro series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sultan-pro\"\u003eSultan Pro collection\u003c\/a\u003e is inspired by the heritage of the Turkic pchak hunting knife and sets out to capture the soul of Central Asia.
