Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku 三徳包丁
The Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku unites striking Japanese design with exceptional modern performance, crafted for chefs and home cooks who demand both beauty and precision.
67-Layer AUS10 Damascus Steel
At its core is premium AUS10 steel, clad in 67 layers of Damascus for superb hardness, edge retention and unique visual character. The intricate wave pattern is revealed in every layer, creating a blade that is as captivating as it is razor-sharp. Honed to a precise 8–12° cutting angle, it delivers effortless, scalpel-like precision through vegetables, meats and fish.
Rosewood Handle
The handle is shaped from richly grained rosewood, offering natural warmth and enduring strength. Its elegant contours and perfect balance provide a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring confident control during both delicate slicing and heavy chopping.
Kengata Blade Profile
The distinct Kengata (sword-tip) profile combines the versatility of a Santoku with the pointed precision of a Gyuto. This hybrid design makes it ideal for fine slicing, controlled rocking cuts and intricate knife work.
Culinary Craftsmanship and Timeless Beauty
The Shikoku 7" Kengata Santoku is more than a kitchen tool. It is a statement of refined craftsmanship that transforms everyday cooking into an art form while bringing professional-level performance to your kitchen.
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.
Not sure which knife?
Answer a few quick questions about how you cook, and we'll match you with the perfect blade.
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.
