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.

SaleGot 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.
Ok so I bought this because a friend recommended it but I'm not really blown away. Its sharp yeah, and it looks nice, but I dont notice a huge difference between this and the $25 Mercer I've had for years. The blade is a touch heavier than I like and the balance point feels off to me, like it wants to tip forward when I'm doing fine work. I've used it for dicing onions and slicing cooked meats and its fine but I keep going back to my old knife without even thinking. Maybe I just need more time with it.
Got this for my husband's birthday and he's been using it pretty much every day since. Out of the box it was really sharp, sliced through a ripe tomato with zero squish. He's mostly used it for veggie prep and breaking down some chicken thighs, says the blade feels solid and holds an edge decently. My only complaint is the handle feels kind of blocky in my smaller hands, I wish it was a little more rounded. But he has bigger hands and doesnt mind it. For the price I think its a good buy.
Ok so Ive been using this knife for like a month now and honestly its really great. I do a ton of cooking, break down chickens, slice all kinds of veg, you name it. The edge is wicked sharp out of the box and the AUS10 steel keeps it that way, I only had to strop it once so far. The gyuto shape rocks nice on the board for herbs and garlic. Its pretty light compared to my old Wusthof but I got used to it fast and now I prefer it. For 70 bucks this is a steal, no joke.
I mean it cuts, sure. Got this as a upgrade from some cheap knife block set but honestly I dont feel a massive difference. The blade is sharp and goes through onions easy enough, but the steel feels just ok, not amazing edge retention like I was hoping. Had to run it on the hone after a week of light use. The handle shape is nice but the whole knife is lighter than I expected, almost feels flimsy sometimes. Its not a bad knife, just maybe set my expectations too high for the price. Fine for regular cooking but nothing to write home about.
