Step 1: Rinse
Warm water and mild soap after each use. Never put your knife in the dishwasher; the harsh detergents and jostling will damage the edge and handle.
Step 2: Dry
Towel dry immediately. Don't leave it wet or in the sink; even stainless steel can develop spots if left damp.
Step 3: Store
Use a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. Never toss it loose in a drawer; it dulls the edge and is a safety hazard.
That's it. No special maintenance, no fussy rituals. Your Shimeru knife is designed for daily use, and with these three steps it'll stay razor-sharp for years.
Every knife comes in its own presentation box, ready to give as a gift.

SaleReally solid knife for the price. Edge retention is good, been using it daily for a couple weeks and it still slices tomatoes clean. Only thing is it's a bit heavier than my old nakiri but I've actually gotten used to it. If you do a lot of vegetable prep this is a great buy.
Got this for myself after years of using a cheap chef knife. This nakiri is stupid sharp, it just falls through onions and cabbage. I do a ton of veg prep and the flat blade makes thin even slices so easy. Handle feels good in my hand too, not slippery. Came sharp enough to shave arm hair. Definitely my new go to for anything vegetable.
Got this for my dad for his birthday and he's been raving about it. He does a lot of vegetable heavy Korean cooking and says it flies through daikon and squash. The blade is nice and thin and the 15 degree edge is no joke. Packaging was simple but well done, no damage. He's already sharpened it once on a whetstone and says it took an edge easily.
This nakiri is awesome. I use it pretty much every day for dinner prep. Onions, peppers, zucchini, you name it. No accordion cuts because of the flat edge. It was sharp enough to slice ripe tomatoes paper thin right out of the box. The steel feels quality, cleans up easy. My old Wusthof chef knife has been sitting in the drawer since I got this.
It's a decent knife but I dont really get the hype. Cuts fine but my old $25 Mercer does just as good a job on carrots and potatoes. The blade is a little lighter than I expected and the handle shape took some getting used to for my grip. For $75 I was hoping for something a bit more impressive but it does the job.
got this for my wife's birthday and she uses it every single day now. the flat profile is perfect for veg, no more accordion onions when she dices. sharp right out of the box and still slices tomatoes paper thin after a month. handle feels really solid too. honestly thinking about getting one for myself
Really solid nakiri. The steel takes a great edge and it feels balanced in my hand. My only wish is the handle was a touch bigger, I've got larger hands and it's a little slim for me. That said I've been using it daily for meal prep and it breezes through cabbage and carrots. Would buy again.
Got this for my wife's birthday and she hasn't stopped using it. The blade is stupid sharp out of the box, sliced through a butternut squash like it was butter. I'm actually jealous, might get one for myself. The flat edge makes chopping onions and peppers so much easier than our old chef knife. Came in nice packaging too.
This is my first nakiri and I'm pretty happy with it. The flat profile makes quick work of cucumbers and zucchini, no accordion cuts. Blade holds an edge well after a few weeks of daily use. My only gripe is the handle is a bit slim for my hand, I have large hands and it took some getting used to. But the knife itself is excellent, nice balance, came really sharp. Would recommend if you do a lot of veg prep.
So I got this nakiri for my veggie prep and honestly it's a great knife. Cuts through carrots and onions like nothing. Only thing is I wish it was an 8 inch instead of 7, feels a little small for big heads of cabbage. Still a solid buy.
