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.

KAIJU knives

Samura Kaiju is a modern series of soled kitchen knives made af nielloed hammered steel eith a wavy shaped and polished edge. The knives sport a classical silhouette, wooden handle and unexceptible sharpness. Ideal for home use, and with their stunning appearance they will adorn the interior of any kitchen.

Yanagiba came to Europe from Japan along with Japanese cuisine, sushi, and sashimi. Yanagiba knife features a 15-degree double-sided sharpening. The long (24 cm) and narrow Kaiju Yanagiba knife has an extremely sharp sharpening and not only can be used for delicate slicing of the Japanese cuisine dishes but also can serve as a slicer for cutting and mincing products.

Like all the knives from the Kaiju collection, Yanagiba is made of Japanese single-layered AUS-8 hammered steel. Steel blackening and high chromium content give the blades novel anticorrosion properties to protect them from rusting, with quenching of up to 58 HRC enabling to maintain the flawless sharpness of the cutting edge with a cutting angle of 15° for extended periods.

The handle of Samura Kaiju Yanagiba is made of pakka wood, i.e. a special high-tech material with the pros of both wood and plastic, but without their cons. The all-metal (full-tang) blade allows the knife to resist heavy workloads and adds durability.
