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.
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.

SaleStep 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.
Really pleased with this set overall. These knives are razor sharp out the box and the damascus pattern looks even nicer in person. Used them for a steak night with mates and they went through everything like butter. Only thing is the handles are a bit chunkier than I'm used to, took a couple uses to get comfortable but fine now. Would definitely recommend if you're after a proper set.
Bought the 4 piece set for when we have mates round for steak night and they're proper lovely. Razor sharp out the box, the damascus pattern catches the light nicely. Bit of heft to them but not too heavy. We've used them for everything from sirloin to cutting up a roast chicken and the one with the slightly smaller handle is my go to now. The presentation box was a nice touch too, didn't expect that for the price.
Got the 4 piece set after seeing them online. They do look lovely, the damascus pattern is really nice and the handles are comfortable enough. My only real gripe is theyre a lot lighter than I expected for a knife at this price, feels a bit cheap when you pick them up even though they seem well made. Used them for a steak night with friends and they cut fine, nothing exceptional but they did the job. The set covers everyone at the table which is nice, but if I'm honest I prefer my old heavier set. Would I buy again? Probably not for £115, but theyre not bad.
Theyre fine but for £115 im a bit underwhelmed. The pattern is nice enough and they do the job on steaks but the handle is quite slim and feels a bit cheap for the price. Sharp enough out the box but not as razor sharp as the description makes out. Its a decent set if you like the look but I was hoping for something a bit more hefty.
Got the 4 piece set as a treat for myself and honestly these are gorgeous. The damascus pattern looks even better in person, handles feel solid but also really comfy. Used them on a big ribeye the other night, cut through like butter, no sawing at all. Had a dinner party last weekend and put the whole set out, everyone commented on them. My missus is already hinting she wants her own set for her birthday. Delivery was quick too, came in a nice box.
Wanted a proper set of steak knives for ages, these are brilliant. The set includes four which is perfect for us and they're razor sharp out the box. Used them for a dinner party at the weekend and three people asked where I got them. Damascas pattern is stunning with the black handle. Arrived next day well packaged. Cant fault them.
Bought this set for my husband's 50th and hes over the moon. We do steak night every friday and these knives have made such a difference, they cut through a thick ribeye like it's butter. The damascus pattern looks even better in person, proper fancy but not showy. We were using a cheap set from tesco before and the difference is night and day. Came in a really nice presentation box too which was a bonus. Already looking at the chefs knife from the same range to match.
Really pleased with these overall. The set looks great on the table and the blades are properly sharp, no struggle with even well done steak. My only moan is the handle is a bit chunky for my smallish hands so they feel slightly awkward to hold for long but for a quick steak dinner its absolutely fine. Would still recommend if you dont mind a thicker handle, they cut brilliantly.
Got this set for my husband's birthday, he's well chuffed. The damascus pattern on these is stunning, pictures don't do it justice. Used them on a ribeye last night and they cut through like butter, even the fat no trouble. The handles are comfortable, nice weight to them. Came in a smart presentation box as well.
Really pleased with these steak knives. The damascus steel looks lovely and they're properly sharp - sliced through a tomato without any squashing which my old ones could never do. My only niggle is the handles are a bit on the slim side for my hands, took a bit of getting used to. Still, for the price of the set I'd say they're good value.
