Samurai Kitchen Knives

Japanese-style knives are often favoured by chefs for their ability to deliver accurate, precise cuts to delicate foods. Our Samurai range has brought together the best elements of this style of knife to create stylish, high-performance knives in a choice of traditional shapes.

The blades of our Japanese Samurai knives are crafted from X50CrMov15 - a superior Grade German steel that can hold and retain an extremely sharp edge. They’re also only sharpened on one edge with a taper-ground edge. This allows for a razor-sharp edge that can deliver more precise cuts through delicate ingredients. 

These knives maintain their sharpness exceptionally well, but the taper ground blade makes keeping them sharp easy, allowing you to maintain their optimal performance. Use our Stellar Sharpening Guide and Whetstone for optimal sharpening.

We’ve created our Samurai knives in traditional shapes to complement various kitchen tasks.

• Santoku - A multipurpose shape that excels at mincing, dicing and chopping.
• Yanagiba - Designed to make clean, delicate cuts. This knife is outstanding at preparing sashimi and sushi but is also an excellent choice for accurately cutting meat.  
• Usuba - Made for cutting, slicing and peeling vegetables and fruit.
• Deba - Its heavy blade makes short work of boning and filleting meats and fish and can tackle a range of cutting tasks.

The range also includes a bread knife with a serrated blade that can glide through even the thickest crusts.

With a rounded maple-wood handle that’s comfortable to use and adds a contemporary look, your Samurai cooking knife will stand out in the kitchen. The blades retain their edge and are easy to sharpen. They’re also stain-resistant, so their stylish, sleek appearance won’t be affected by lingering foodstuffs. All our Samurai kitchen knives are dishwasher-safe, making looking after them quick and easy.

Stellar Samurai knives are designed to chop and prepare food for a lifetime. This is backed by our Lifetime Guarantee, which states we’ll repair or replace any knife that doesn’t meet our high standards.
