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.

SaleWish it was a bit longer for bigger heads of cabbage but for 90% of my veg prep this thing is great. Blade holds an edge well for the price, I've been using it almost daily for 3 weeks and only stropped it once. The balance is good but it's a tad tip heavy which took a day to get used to. Otherwise no complaints, would buy again.
Got this nakiri for my wife for her birthday since she cooks a ton of veggies. Blade is really sharp out of the box, cuts through sweet potatoes and cabbage like nothing. The hammered finish actually does help with food not sticking, which is nice. Only thing is the handle feels a little chunky in my hand vs my other Japanese knife, but she loves it and that's what matters. Came in a nice box too.
Really solid nakiri for the price. The AUS10 holds an edge nicely, I've been using it daily for a few weeks and it still shaves paper. My only wish is the handle is a little round for my grip, I have big hands and it took a couple days to get used to. Other than that it makes quick work of onions and cabbage. Arrived well packaged too.
Got this for my birthday and honestly cant believe how sharp it is out of the box. The nakiri shape is perfect for veg prep, I made a huge pot of soup yesterday and it flew through carrots and celery like nothing. The hammered finish looks even better in person and food doesnt stick to the blade much. Only had it a week but its already my go to knife. Way better than the old Chicago Cutlery set I was using.
Ok so I've been using this nakiri for a few weeks now and I gotta say its my go to for veggie prep. The flat blade makes chopping cabbage and carrots so much cleaner than my old chef knife, no accordion cuts. The hammered finish actually does help with food not sticking which I was skeptical about. Edge is still super sharp after a ton of use, AUS10 is legit. Handle feels comfortable even with my big hands. Came in a nice box too.
Got this for my wife's birthday and she's obsessed. Slices through onions and peppers like nothing, blade feels super sharp out of the box.
Got this for my wife for her birthday and she uses it every single day now. She said it's the best knife she's ever owned for prepping vegetables. It's super sharp out of the box and the weight feels really balanced. Way better than the kitchenaid set we had. Totally worth the price.
This nakiri is legit. I do a ton of stir fry and veggie prep and this thing just glides through carrots and cabbage like nothing. The flat profile makes it super easy to get clean cuts all the way down, no accordion pieces. AUS10 steel holds an edge way longer than my old knife, I've been using it daily for almost a month and it still shaves. The hammered finish looks great and food actually does slide right off. Came in a nice box too.
Got this knife for my wifes birthday, shes the cook in the family. She loves it for chopping veg, says the blade just falls through everything. The hammered part on top really keeps stuff from sticking which is cool. She did say it feels a little heavier than her old knife but its not a dealbreaker. I tried it and the handle feels kind of small in my hand but my wife says its perfect size for her. So no real downsides honestly maybe just a personal thing. For the price its a solid piece.
Really solid knife for the price. The AUS10 holds an edge nicely, used it for a couple weeks of weekly meal prep and its still sharp. My only wish is the handle was a touch bigger, I have larger hands and it feels a little small after a while of chopping. Still a great veggie knife though, no regrets.
