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 OutBeen using this for a couple weeks now. It's a solid knife, sharp out of the box and makes quick work of onions and carrots. The gyuto shape is good for rocking cuts. My only issue is the handle feels a little chunky compared to what Im used to, took a few days to adjust. Other than that, no complaints. I'd say it's definately worth the price.
Got this for my husband's birthday and he's already put it through the paces. Used it to break down a whole chicken and said it went through the joints like butter. The blade is super sharp out of the box and holds an edge way longer than his old set. For $60 this is a no brainer, honestly the quality surprised me!
I cant believe how sharp this thing is out of the box and it's stayed that way after a couple weeks of daily use. I retired my old Victorinox for this and its not even close. The blade glides through onions and tomatoes with barely any pressure, and the profile makes a rocking motion feel really natural when mincing garlic or herbs. Balance is great, not too heavy at all. For 60 bucks this is a steal.
Really solid knife for the price. Came sharp and makes quick work of veg prep, the AUS10 steel holds an edge way better than I expected. Only thing is the handle felt a little small in my hand at first compared to my old Wusthof, but I'm used to it now. Wish they made it in a 10 inch too but the 8 inch is still plenty for most jobs.
Got this knife a few weeks back and man it holds an edge like crazy. AUS10 steel is no joke, I use it daily for prep at work and Ive only had to touch it up on a ceramic rod. Thin blade, glides through tomatoes and onions. For $70 this is a steal honestly.
So I bought this for my husband for his birthday since hes been getting into cooking more. He was skeptical because hes used to German knives but after using this gyuto he said the rocking motion is way smoother and the balance point is right where you want it. Ive used it a couple times too and the handle is comfortable even with my smaller hands. Came sharp out of the box, like scary sharp. Weve had it about a month and it still slices paper. Only thing is I wish the blade was just a touch longer but thats just me being picky.
Really nice knife for the price. The blade holds an edge well so far and makes quick work of onions and peppers. Only wish is that it came in a 240mm option because I like a longer gyuto. Still, no regrets.
Got this as a gift for my husband who cooks a lot. He's been using it for a few weeks now and really likes the edge retention on the AUS10 steel. It's a little heavier than what he was used to with his old Victorinox but he says he's adjusted and actually prefers it now. Handle felt a little boxy at first but no real complaints. For $70 it's a solid knife, not a laser but gets the job done.
Been using this for a few weeks now at work, line cook. Holds its edge way better than my old Mercer. Rocking motion feels natural for chopping herbs and onions all day. The blade shape is just right for a gyuto. Came well packaged too.
Got this as a gift for my husband and hes been using it nonstop. The edge out of the box was scary sharp, sliced through tomatoes like nothing. AUS10 steel seems like it holds an edge really well so far. Handle feels balanced in my hand too. For 70 bucks this is a steal compared to the shun I was looking at.
