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 OutIt's a decent knife. Does the job. I was maybe expecting a little more for the price? It's sharp, but so was my cheaper Mercer. The handle is okay. It's fine, just not blown away.
I read a lot of reviews before buying this. They were right. It's a fantastic value. The blade is thin behind the edge so it cuts with almost no effort. Very happy customer.
I've been using this daily for about a month now. The VG10 core is no joke, I've only had to hone it once and it's still slicing paper thin tomatoes. The 7.5 inch size is perfect for my smaller hands.
Three stars. It's good, not great. The blade is nice and it cuts well. I don't know, maybe my expectations were too high from reading reviews. It's a good knife, just feels like any other decent chef knife to me.
Really nice knife overall. The sharpness is incredible. My only very minor gripe is I wish the handle was a tiny bit more rounded, it's a little blocky for my grip. But that's just personal preference, still a great blade.
Its a good knife, sharp out of the box and looks nice. I guess I was just expecting to be more wowed for sixty bucks? The handle is comfortable but it feels a bit... plain I guess. Does the job fine for daily cooking, just not the massive upgrade from my old Mercer that I was hoping for. Its fine.
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook. He was using some cheap block set knives before and the difference is night and day. He says the balance is perfect and he loves the gyuto shape for rocking through herbs. Came in a nice box too which made it feel like a real gift. He's thrilled with it.
I was looking for a good gyuto and this one fit the bill. The rocking motion is smooth and it's just a pleasure to use. My wife even commented on how nice it looks on the magnetic strip.
Pretty happy with this purchase. The damascus is nice but not as pronounced as in some pictures online. That's fine though, it's the performance that counts and it performs very well. Just a note for anyone expecting super flashy patterns.
Ok so I was a little nervous buying a knife online but this one is legit. The VG10 core holds an edge like nothing else I've owned. I break down whole chickens with it and it handles the joints fine, just have to be careful. Handle feels solid, not slippery when wet. For the price its a steal honestly.
The knife is gorgeous and performs even better. The damascus pattern is really elegant. It's my first Japanese knife and I'm hooked. Cuts so cleanly.
