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 OutOk so I'm not a chef but this knife is awesome. It's sharp, looks amazing, and feels solid. My old knives feel like toys now.
Very good knife, especially for the price. The edge is fantastic. The handle is nice but I think I would have preferred a darker wood color. That's just aesthetics though, performance is top notch.
Really nice knife overall. The blade is super sharp and it looks gorgeous. My only thing is the handle shape, its a little round for my grip and took a day or two to get used to. But the performance is great, cuts through tomatoes like nothing. I'd still recommend it for sure.
