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.

Sold OutThis is a fantastic knife for the price. The pattern is lovely and it's razor sharp. I just personally prefer a wa handle over this western style, but that's just my preference. Still performs amazingly.
Great value for a Damascus blade. Cuts incredibly well. It's a tad heavier than I expected based on the pictures, but I actually don't mind it now, gives it some authority. Definitely recommend.
Been using this daily for about a month now. Holds an edge really well, I've only had to hone it once. The 8 inch size is perfect for my hands.
Perfect balance. The handle shape fits my grip really well. Makes prepping a joy instead of a chore.
Birthday present for my wife who's a total foodie. She loves it. Says the balance is great and it's her new favorite knife in the kitchen.
Ok so this is my first real Japanese knife and I'm blown away. The damascus steel is so pretty and it's crazy sharp out of the box. I've been using it daily for 3 weeks now and it still looks and feels brand new. The rocking motion for chopping herbs is perfect. Cant believe I waited this long to get a good knife.
So I've been using this for about a month now and it's just fantastic. The damascus pattern is gorgeous and it's still razor sharp after all this time. I use it for everything from slicing up steaks to chopping veggies. The handle feels really solid in my hand. It came in a nice box too which was a nice touch.
Massive upgrade from the cheap set I had. The Damascus pattern is beautiful and it just glides through food. I actually look forward to prepping dinner now.
It's a good knife, don't get me wrong. The blade is sharp and it looks nice. But I guess I was expecting to be more impressed for the price? It's a bit lighter than I'm used to, which is fine, just takes some getting used to. It does the job, just wasn't the wow factor I thought it'd be.
I cant believe how sharp it is. Seriously, be careful. I've been using it for everything from breaking down a whole chicken to mincing garlic. Performs beautifully.
