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

Lightweight and versatile, the Reptile Cleaver is an all-purpose tool that will pound, chop, crush, mince, scoop, and slice food.

With a narrow cross-section, it’s flexible and able to handle delicate peeling, chopping, and slicing duties – which are beyond the realm of a butcher’s cleaver’s abilities.

It’s primarily a vegetable knife used for chopping, but it also doubles as a slicing knife for shaving fine slivers from meat and other proteins – and it’s definitely not meant for hacking through large bones.

It has enough height that you can use it to scoop up large amounts of product like a spatula or bench scraper, and enough mass that the spine can be used to pound and tenderize meat. And the flat of the blade has enough surface area to flatten and crush ingredients like garlic, ginger, or nuts.
