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. With these three steps it'll stay razor-sharp for years.
Precision.
Balance.
Craft.



Unmatched Hardness, Surgical Precision
Discover the ultimate in sharpening performance with the Shimeru Diamond Rolling Sharpener, designed for chefs who demand durability, speed, and refined precision. Featuring ultra-hard diamond-coated grinding discs in #400 and #1000 grit, this system tackles even the hardest steels with ease.
Why Diamond?
Diamond abrasives are the hardest sharpening material available. The #400 grit disc is ideal for fast edge restoration—removing chips, reshaping blades, and reviving dull edges. The finer #1000 grit disc polishes and refines the blade, creating a razor-sharp edge ready for precise slicing.
How to Use:
Start with the #400 grit to reshape or repair, then switch to the #1000 for fine honing. The rolling action ensures even contact, and the 15°/20° magnetic angle guide locks in perfect geometry for both Western and Japanese-style knives.
Perfect For:
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.
Our knives are guaranteed to be the sharpest you’ve ever owned. No exceptions, no compromises. Just 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 smoother, faster cuts, enhancing your cooking efficiency by 2 to 3 times.

SaleDidn't think I needed a gadget like this but honestly it's brilliant. Used it on my old chef's knife that was barely cutting tomatoes and now it slices through a ripe one with no pressure at all. The two different grits make a proper difference, the coarse one brings the edge back and the fine one polishes it up lovely.
Right, so I've had this rolling sharpener for about a month now and I'm genuinely chuffed with it. My previous sharpening attempts were a bit hit and miss with a whetstone, always ended up with uneven edges. This thing is dead simple - just roll it back and forth and the angle stays consistent because of the magnetic base holding the blade in place. I've done all my kitchen knives, including a couple of Japanese ones with quite hard steel, and the diamond discs handle them no problem. The #400 side rescued an old Sabatier that I thought was destined for the bin, and after a few passes on the #1000 it's shaving arm hair. Build quality feels solid, nice weight to it, and it sits on the worktop so I actually use it regularly rather than faffing about getting stones out. Delivery was quick too, came well packaged in a proper box.
Got this after seeing a mate use one and I was a bit sceptical but blimey it works a treat. Took me a couple goes to get the angle right but once you suss it the rolling motion does all the work. Revived my old Wusthof that was about as sharp as a butter knife, now it glides through toms. Build feels solid, the magnets are strong enough that the knife doesnt slip about. Only had it two weeks so cant speak for longevity but so far so good. Delivery was quick too.
Ok so I was a bit dubious about spending £60 on a sharpener but this thing is solid. Used it on my Wusthof chef knife that was about as sharp as a spoon. Did a few passes on the 400 then switched to the 1000 and honestly its like a brand new knife. The rolling action takes a minute to get used to but once you do its easy. Magnetic holder is brilliant, no way to get the angle wrong. Only used it twice so far but results are mint.
Got this for me dad for christmas and he's chuffed. The magnetic bit keeps the angle right and the 400/1000 grits make dull knives proper sharp. He did his old carving knife and it glides through beef now. Really well made, heavy base so no sliding about.
Got this after my whetstone attempts kept ending in frustration. The rolling action is dead simple, just a few passes on the 400 then the 1000 and my chefs knife is back to shaving sharp. Magnet holds the angle steady which was my main worry. Feels solid, not cheap plastic. Took a minute to get the hang of but now I sharpen everything in the drawer.
Got this for my dad who's always moaning about dull kitchen knives. He was a bit sceptical at first but after a few rolls on his old chef's knife it was properly sharp again. The magnetic bit holds the knife at the right angle so you don't have to think about it. Build quality feels solid too, nice bit of weight to it. He's been going round sharpening everything in the house now, even the bread knife.
Bought this after watching a few videos on rolling sharpeners. Wasnt expecting much for the price but blimey it works well. My dull Santoku is now razor sharp after about a dozen passes on each side. The diamond discs feel really durable and it's dead simple to use, no messing about with whetstones. Arrived next day too which was a bonus.
Does a great job sharpening my knives, the #1000 grit leaves a lovely polished edge and its much quicker than my old stone. Only slight niggle is the handle is a bit slim for my hands, would prefer something chunkier to grip when rolling. But results wise cant fault it, my global chefs knife is like new again.
Got this for my husband as he's always moaning about blunt knives. He was a bit sceptical at first but honestly it's so easy to use, just roll it back and forth and the magnet holds the blade at the right angle. Sharpened all our old kitchen knives in about 20 mins, they're now slicing tomatoes like nothing. The 400 grit side sorted out a couple of tiny nicks on our chef knife too. Build quality feels solid, nice weight to it.
