Producer: Samura

About Samura:

SAMURA — a team of professionals who create uniquely designed, high-end knives. We started our journey in 2003. We made our first product lines with the Japanese companies MAC and Mcusta. Japanese philosophy and traditions run deep in our DNA. We are absolutely sure that a Japanese knife cuts better than a European one. Japanese knives remain sharper longer and retain their edges longer.

Samura has been making its knives at production sites in four countries since 2010. We are currently producing 18 knife lines and a huge number of kitchen accessories. We use the best modern materials for the handle: Micarta, G10, stabilised wood, plastic with a soft-touch coating, Kraton, and composites.

REPTILE knives

Samura Reptile modern chef knife is the jewel of Reptile collection, a beautiful combination of unique design and ultimate quality in each detail. You should know that it was created from scratch, its geometry is unique and you won't be able to find an analog or a similar one. Made of AUS-10 Japanese steel, hardened up to 59±1 HRC, they are sharpened with a convex grind and have incredible cutting performance.

It is sharpened on both sides, like Western knives, but to an extremely acute 17-degree angle rather than a beveled edge (the average European edge is ground to 20-22 degrees). As long as you use a proper cutting-board and do not abuse the knife will retain its edge for a long time.

The Reptile Modern Chef is a super lightweight, weighing in at only 138 grams and has a delicate balance in hand.

The blade and the handle are made separately and then welded together. The handle is hollow. Although there is no bolster, there is a rounded hole to give more control.

Thank to the ribs on a handle, it is very ergonomic and grippy at the same time.
