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.
Suma 須磨 4.5″ Damascus Steel Steak Knife Set (4 Pieces) ステーキナイフ
Introducing the Suma 須磨 by Shimeru, a premium set of four 4.5″ steak knives that bring the artistry of Japanese craftsmanship to your dining table. Named after the tranquil shores of Suma, these knives transform every meal into an occasion—where precision meets elegance and performance becomes ritual.
67-Layer Damascus Steel Precision Each Suma steak knife is individually forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel, encasing a VG10 core with a Rockwell hardness of 62 HRC for exceptional edge retention and durability. The distinctive wave pattern across each blade is a testament to traditional forging mastery. Honed to a razor-sharp 15° edge, significantly finer than the 20–25° found on typical Western knives, the Suma cuts through steak with effortless precision, preserving the juices and texture of every cut.
G10 Ergonomic Handle The handle is crafted from military-grade G10 fibre, renowned for its strength, durability, and resistance to moisture, heat, and bacteria. The sleek black finish offers timeless sophistication, while the ergonomic triple-rivet design ensures a secure, comfortable grip. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a grand gathering, the Suma sits confidently in hand, elevating every dining experience.
Elevate Your Table At 4.5″, each Suma steak knife is perfectly proportioned for tableside use—agile enough for precise cuts yet substantial enough for the finest ribeye or fillet. The set of four ensures your guests share in the experience of exceptional craftsmanship.
A Dining Experience Refined The Suma 須磨 4.5″ Damascus Steel Steak Knife Set is more than cutlery, it is a statement of refined taste. For those who believe that how you dine is as important as what you eat, the Suma collection will bring artistry, precision, and elegance to every meal.
Crafted from professional-grade, heat-treated high-carbon steel, Shimeru Knives deliver exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. From the first slice, you’ll experience the precision that sets us apart.
Engineered for unmatched sharpness: razor-sharp blades that elevate your culinary experience.
Shimeru Knives feature uniquely designed handles that not only add a sophisticated touch to your kitchen but also provide a comfortable, secure grip for effortless chopping and slicing.
With a double-bevel edge sharpened to 15° (compared to the standard 20-25° of most Western knives), our blades allow for noticeably smoother, faster cuts.

SaleI bought this set on a whim because I was tired of struggling with dull steak knives. These are razor sharp and the edge holds up well. We use them almost daily for everything, not just steak. The black and wood handle looks even better in person. Came in a nice box too so would make a good present.
Got this set for my husband's birthday and he loves them. We have steak night every Friday and these knives are a huge upgrade from the cheap serrated ones we had before. The damascus pattern is really pretty and they feel solid in your hand. We already used all four of them when we had guests over last weekend and everyone kept asking where we got them. Sharp as hell right out of the box too. Handle is comfortable, not too heavy.
Got this set for my husband for fathers day since he's the steak guy in the house. These knives are sharp out of the box, the damascus pattern looks real nice on the table. Handle is solid, maybe a touch heavy for my hands but my husband says they feel great. We've used a few of them on ribeyes and they slice through like nothing. Only wish they came in a 6 inch option cause 5 is a bit short for really thick cuts, but for regular steak night they do the job. Would buy again.
Ok so I bought this set as a gift for my husband for our anniversary. He's really into steak and always complained about our old dull steak knives. These are no joke. First time he cut into a ribeye he just looked at me and said 'holy crap these are sharp.' The damascus pattern is gorgeous, almost too pretty to use but we use them all the time. I think I reach for the one with the slightly darker handle more but honestly they all feel great. Handle is comfortable, not too heavy, and the blades are super sharp after a month of use. Came really well packaged in a nice box, would be great for a gift. For 4 knives I think the price is fair compared to what you'd pay at a department store for junk.
Bought the 4 piece set for my husband's birthday. These knives are sharp, went through ribeye like butter no joke. The damascus pattern looks really cool and the handle is comfortable but they are a bit heavier than what I'm used to for steak knives. I wish the blades were a little longer, that's my only real complaint. Other than that great set for the money.
Bought the 4 piece set after our old steak knives were getting embarrassing whenever we had people over. These are definitely a step up. The damascus pattern looks really nice in person and the handles have a good weight to them, the wood and resin feels more premium than I expected for the price. They came razor sharp out of the box, which my husband found out the hard way. My only gripe is the handles are a little chunky for my smaller hands, and I wish they made a slightly longer blade option because we do a lot of thick ribeyes. That said, the set covers the four of us fine and they cut clean without sawing. I use the one with the most visible pattern for myself, my husband grabbed a different one and neither of us can tell a difference in performance. Gifted one set to my dad for his birthday too and he hasn't shut up about them.
Got these for my husband for his birthday. He loves them but I find them a little unbalanced for my small hands. The handles are kinda chunky and the knives are a bit heavy but my husband says the weight helps him cut steak without pressing down. The blades are crazy sharp right out of the box and the damascus finish is pretty. Would give five stars if they offered a slightly smaller/lighter handle option for us smaller handed folks but overall a solid set. Packaging was nice and arrived quick.
Ok so I bought this set on a whim cause our old steak knives were embarrassing, dull as hell. These are wicked sharp. The damascus pattern looks really nice in person, not too flashy but def premium. We had friends over for steak night and everyone asked where I got them. My husband uses the same one every time (the one with the wood grain near the handle?) but I've been using the others for cutting up sandwich rolls and they glide through. The box they came in was nice too, kept them separated so no blades banging together. Only had them a few weeks but so far so good. Def recommend if you want a full set that matches and actually cuts.
So we got this set of 4 steak knives for our anniversary dinner and I'm really impressed. They are incredibly sharp, like slice through a thick ribeye without any sawing motion. The damascus pattern is so pretty, I leave them out on the cutting board just to look at them lol. The handles feel good in your hand, not too heavy not too light. We've used them every night since we got them, even for cutting veggies and they work great. 10/10 would buy again.
Bought these as a gift for my dad for fathers day. He called me after using them to say how impressed he was with the sharpness. I did get to try one at his house and they feel nice, but I do wish the blade was a tiny bit longer for cutting through thick cuts of meat. Other than that no complaints, the damascus pattern looks real nice in person.
