The Samura ® Range

Kotura are delighted to partner with Samura ® here in the UK. From our initial discussions with them we were always impressed with their core vision to achieve an ideal balance of traditional Japanese mastery, European permanence, and unparalleled creativity.

Samura® Premium Kitchen Knives began its journey as a family business by launching its first knife series in 2003. Each concept is initially sketched by hand by founder and renowned designer Alex Yakolev. Alex will invest countless hours into ensuring that everything carrying Samura's® name guarantees their customers incomparable quality, everlasting sharpness, and singular aesthetics. Whilst the business has blossomed into a major producer, Samura® are proud to retain the family approach. The majority of the production process is still done manually, mixing centuries-old traditions with progressive technologies.

Samura's® research and development is rigorous. Prototypes are used and tested by culinary professionals. Their knives are trialed in high-volume restaurants as well as home kitchens, by sushi chefs and bone-carving butchers, on every conceivable cutting task. Only after their products have been proven to handle the rigorous demands required, whilst retaining flawless balance and ergonomic comfort, do Samura® knives become available to consumers.

Kotura invite you to experience the Samura® range including the ultra-light Bamboo series; the stylish Inca ceramic line or the stunning Damascus range. Each collection offers something to the user, whether in a professional or home environment.
