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.

Masterfully forged from professional-grade High-Carbon Steel, the Kitakami Collection features individually forged kitchen knives that are built to last so that you never need another kitchen knife set again.
High-Carbon Steel, which was once the metal of choice of Japanese swordsmiths, has been exploding in popularity due to its added hardiness and sharpness, to such a degree that high-carbon steel has become the premier choice of many professional chefs.
Each Kitakami knife is carefully heat-treated and sharpened to perfection for razor-sharp cutting and extreme durability. The knives are etched with a traditional Damascus pattern, paying homage to a style of knife-making whose history stretches back over 1000 years.
The knives boast a 15Β° edge for superior cutting, as compared to a typical 20-25Β° edge found in most Western knives. You WILL feel the difference from the very first cut.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, youβll experience the precision that sets us apart.

Sold OutThese knives are seriously sharp out of the box. I was a little intimidated at first lol. The damascus pattern is really cool looking, and the handles dont feel slippery even when my hands are wet. I use a different one almost every time I cook, the petty knife is perfect for small stuff like garlic. Great value for a whole set.
I cant believe how nice this set is. The weight of the knives is perfect, not too heavy. I use the 5 inch santoku almost daily for lunch prep. Having all the different types means I'm not trying to use one knife for everything anymore. The edge is holding up great so far after a few weeks of regular use.
Ok so I've been using these for about a month now. The 7 inch santoku is my go-to for pretty much everything, it just feels right in the hand. The whole set covers all my bases, I used the boning knife on a pork shoulder last weekend and it was way easier than I thought it'd be. Massive upgrade from the cheap block set I had before.
So I got this set as a housewarming gift for my sister and she is obsessed. The handles are gorgeous in person, like a green marble. She says the nakiri is her favorite for all the veggies and the bread knife is actually sharp, not like those saws that just crush everything. Came in a nice box too, looked really fancy.
The knives arrived quickly and were packed well. The set is perfect for my home kitchen, I don't need anything else. The blades are thin and cut through things effortlessly. The green handles are a nice pop of color.
Ok so I cook a lot and these knives have made prep so much faster. The set is really comprehensive. The bread knife slices through crusty loaves like butter and the petty knife is my go-to for peeling and coring. They feel solid and well made.
These knives are a massive upgrade from my old department store set. The edge retention is noticeably better. I love having a specific knife for each task, the set layout makes sense. The 8 inch chef knife is a workhorse.
Bought these as a housewarming gift for my brother and he loves them. He said they're super sharp. His only comment was that he wished the bread knife had a slightly more aggressive serration, but he says it still works perfectly fine. The set looks very impressive.

Iβm blown away by the precision of this knife
Using this knife is a completely different experience compared to other knives. Itβs so smooth and precise.
This knife is exactly what I was looking for. Itβs sharp, well-made, and handles a variety of kitchen tasks with ease. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp.

Despite these small issues, itβs a solid knife thatβs become a staple in my kitchen.
This knife is a joy to use. It cuts through everything with such ease and precision.
