Samura Mo-V Paring Knife 93 mm

The Samura Mo-V paring knife is a compact knife with a 93 mm blade. It is made for close work on fruit and vegetables: peeling, trimming and cutting small pieces. Its single-layer AUS-8 stainless steel blade is paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster.Blade and steelThe blade is made from a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel, hardened to 58–59 HRC. This hardness gives you a practical balance: the edge holds up well to everyday prep, and when it needs attention, it is straightforward to restore on a whetstone. As a stainless steel, AUS-8 is corrosion-resistant, but you should still wash and dry the knife soon after use.The double-bevel edge is ground on both sides, with an original factory bevel angle of 15–17°. An edge ground on both sides is simple to keep in shape with a honing rod and a whetstone.Handle and balanceThe black G-10 handle is ergonomic and moisture-resistant, and it meets the blade at a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 85 g and measures 210 mm overall.Best uses Peeling and trimming fruit Topping, tailing and trimming vegetables Slicing and dicing small fruit and vegetables Detail work such as removing seeds, cores and blemishes Care and sharpeningRinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it after each use; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and take care with food that contains bones: use a SAMURA cleaver for chopping meat and bones and a double-sided serrated saw knife for frozen food. Store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.About the Mo-V seriesEvery knife in the Mo-V collection pairs a single layer of AUS-8 stainless steel with an ergonomic, moisture-resistant G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster, in a contemporary design made for home cooks and kitchen professionals alike.
