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 OutI was using a german style chef knife before and this santoku is a whole different experience. Much better for precise vegetable work in my opinion.
Good knife. The flat profile is great for chopping, I use it on my big cutting board. It's a little heavier than I expected from the pictures, but not in a bad way, feels sturdy. Edge retention is good so far. I just wish the handle had a bit more texture or something, its very smooth. But yeah, cuts great, looks beautiful on the magnetic strip.
So sharp. I was a little nervous at first but it makes chopping onions and peppers a total breeze. The handle is comfortable too, no slipping even with wet hands.
Very sharp out of the box and the pattern is unique. My wife finds it a bit too 'grippy' on the handle, she likes a smoother finish. I like it though, so it's just a personal thing. Good knife.
I'm not a professional chef or anything but I cook a lot at home. This knife just makes the whole process more enjoyable. It feels like a real quality tool.
Really nice knife overall. The edge is fantastic and it looks great. My only minor thing is I wish the handle was a tiny bit more rounded, my hand gets a little tired after a lot of chopping. Still a great purchase.
Ok so I've had this for about a month now and its my go-to knife for pretty much everything. The edge is still crazy sharp, I barely have to do anything to it. The pattern on the blade is really cool, looks different in different lights. I use it for all my veggie prep, makes quick work of onions and peppers. For the price I think its a steal, way nicer than the department store knife I was using before. Came in a nice box too.
Impressed with the quality. It holds an edge way better than my old knives. I gave it 4 stars because I personally prefer a slightly thinner blade, but that's just my preference. It's still a great performer.
Bought this as a gift for my husband who loves to cook. He was really impressed with the look of the damascus pattern. He says it's super sharp and balanced well. His only comment was that he finds the handle shape a bit blocky for his grip, but he's getting used to it. For the money it seems like a solid upgrade from his old set. Arrived quickly and was packaged well.
The knife was delivered quickly and was ready to use right out of the box. Fantastic quality.

Good for basic tasks, but struggles with tougher cuts.
A perfect blend of form and function
Iβve been using this knife daily, and itβs held up remarkably well. Itβs sharp, easy to handle, and a pleasure to use. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need to be sharpened regularly to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it can get a bit slippery if my hands are wet. Overall, itβs a reliable knife thatβs become an essential tool in my kitchen.
This knife is just what I was looking for. Itβs sharp and versatile, handling everything from meat to vegetables with ease. The blade is well-crafted and offers good precision, though it does require frequent sharpening to stay in top condition. The handle is comfortable and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these minor drawbacks, itβs a great knife thatβs well worth the investment.
