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 OutPretty happy with this purchase. The knives are sharp and the set covers all my needs. I just wish the kiritsuke had a bit more of a curve to it for rocking, it's pretty flat. But it's great for push cutting.
It's a good starter set. I've been using them for a few weeks now. The bread knife is the star, works great. The others are fine, they hold an edge alright. I just think the balance feels a bit off on some of them, like the blade is heavier than the handle. Makes chopping feel a little clumsy sometimes. They're not bad, just takes some getting used to. Does what I need it to do.
So I got this set for my birthday and it's honestly amazing. The blue handles are way prettier in person, they have this cool swirly look. I use the big santoku for pretty much all my veggie prep, it just glides through onions and peppers. The bread knife is a beast, finally cuts my sourdough without squishing it. My husband loves the nakiri for herbs. For the price, having a full set that looks this good and works this well is crazy. Came in a nice box too.
Bought these as a gift for my son who just got his own place. He's super into cooking. He called me after using them and was just raving about how sharp they are out of the box. He said the petty knife is perfect for small jobs like garlic and the kiritsuke is his new favorite for slicing meat. The set really does cover everything he needs. They look super fancy with that damascus pattern. Great value for a whole collection.
Decent set. The handles are a bright blue which isn't really my style but that's subjective. They cut fine. I've used better, I've used worse. They're a good middle-of-the-road option. Nothing special, nothing terrible.
So I got this set for my birthday and wow. The handles are so cool looking and they feel great. I use the big santoku for pretty much everything, but the little petty knife is perfect for trimming fat off chicken. They came super sharp and still are after a couple months.
They're okay. The set looks nice on the magnet strip and the handles are unique. They cut fine, definitely sharper than my old supermarket knives. But I dunno, for the money I guess I expected them to feel a bit more... substantial? They're lighter than they look. They get the job done, I use the santuko most days, but I'm not blown away or anything. They're decent.
These are nice knives. The edge retention is good. My small gripe is I wish the set came with a sheath or blade guards for storage, I had to buy some separately. The knives themselves are great though.

This knife is exactly what I was looking for. Itβs sharp, well-made, and handles a variety of kitchen tasks with ease. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp.

Despite these small issues, itβs a solid knife thatβs become a staple in my kitchen.
The knife is okay, but it doesnβt feel like it will last long.
The knife is okay, but the handle design isnβt very ergonomic.
