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 a little nervous ordering a knife online but this one is great. The edge is incredible, I barely have to use any pressure. It's become my go-to for all my vegetable prep.
Been using this for 3 weeks now, still sharp as the day it came. I use it mostly for dicing potatoes and celery for soups. Handle has a good grip, doesn't slip even when my hands are wet.
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook. He's been using it every day and says it's the best knife he's ever owned. The balance is perfect and it makes chopping veggies so much faster. Came in a nice box which was a plus since it was a gift.
So I got this to replace my old dull chef's knife and wow, it's a whole different world. The thing just falls through onions and potatoes, I cant believe how sharp it is out of the box. The hammered finish on the blade looks really cool too. Been using it for a couple weeks now and its still razor sharp, holds an edge great.
Got this as a birthday present for myself. Best decision. The AUS10 steel seems to hold an edge really well, I haven't had to sharpen it yet. Makes cooking way more fun.
Love this knife. The flat blade is perfect for chopping, you can just go up and down. My herbs don't get bruised anymore. Arrived super fast and was packaged really well.
Really like this knife, it's super sharp and feels great in the hand. My only minor thing is the handle shape, it's a little rounder than I'm used to so it took a day or two to get comfortable with my grip. But the performance is excellent, definitely recommend it.
Does exactly what it says. Veggie prep is a breeze. I gave it 4 stars because I feel like it could have come with a simple edge guard or something for storage. Not a big deal, I bought one separately.
