The Samura Super 5 kitchen knife will put you at ease during all your daily cutting tasks. It's both high-performance and stylish, and will add character to your cutting equipment.
This Samura knife is made in China by a team of cutlery experts! In fact, one province in southern China has been famous for knife-making for 1500 years.
This 18cmsantoku knife is a multi-purpose knife, the equivalent of a chef's knife, but with a Japanese shape. Its slightly curved blade creates a natural rocking motion when cutting, making it easy to use. It's a favorite for chopping herbs, for example.
The blade is damascened, i.e. composed of several alternating layers of steel. These steels are enriched with carbon, to guarantee a stiffer blade and longer cutting edge life. The cutting surface is made up of 5 superimposed layers.
The final hardness of the blade is 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This is a good index, showing that the knife will keep its edge longer, and that it's still easy to maintain when you feel it starting to lose its effectiveness. You can maintain it with a Sharpening stone.
The knife's cutting edge is symmetrically beveled. It is hand-finished on a 5000 grit stone, allowing you to appreciate its cutting quality from the very first use.
The handle is made of micarta, a tough, durable composite material. Composed of 40% resin and 60% linen, it is durable and resistant to temperature variations: for example, it can withstand heat of up to 150°C.
It is also highly resistant to humidity. Its oval shape allows ambidextrous use. Its black color contrasts well with the metal ferrule.
Its timeless colors are enhanced by a more authentic-looking blade. It's sure to win over the most uncompromising of cooks! It comes in a decorated box, in which the knife is wrapped in a beautiful fabric pouch with a very Japanese Koi carp motif. A great gift idea!
Care: wash the knife by hand (in lukewarm water, with a non-abrasive sponge), then wipe dry with a soft cloth before storing in a dry place.
