Samura MO-V Stonewash Tomato Knife SM-0071B 5.0" 120 mm AUS-8 Japanese Steel 59 HRC

The Samura MO-V Stonewash Tomato Knife with a 120 mm blade is a specialized kitchen tool designed for effortless slicing of soft fruits and vegetables. Crafted from Japanese AUS-8 steel with a hardness of 58–59 HRC, this tomato knife features a distinctive stonewash finish and a serrated edge that easily cuts through firm skins without crushing delicate interiors. The durable G-10 handle ensures a secure grip, while the hygienic metallic bolster provides stability and balance for everyday culinary tasks.

Advantages

The knife benefits from a leaf-shaped blade geometry that maximizes the cutting edge length and withstands heavy workloads. Its serrated sharpening is highly effective for tomatoes and other soft produce, allowing the small teeth to bite into the surface quickly. The blade maintains its sharpness reliably over time without requiring frequent maintenance. The extra durable G-10 fiberglass handle offers excellent resistance to heat and moisture, ensuring long-lasting comfort and control during food preparation.

Suitable for

• Slicing fresh tomatoes and soft fruits
• Cutting vegetables with firm skins and juicy interiors
• Everyday food preparation tasks in home and professional kitchens

When it may not be suitable

This knife is not designed for heavy-duty tasks such as chopping large bones, frozen foods, or dense root vegetables like pumpkins. Due to its specialized narrow and serrated blade, it should not be used as a general-purpose chef's knife for broad chopping or rocking cuts.

How to use

What to consider before purchase
