Mizuki 瑞樹 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife 三徳包丁
Introducing the Mizuki 瑞樹 by Shimeru, a premium 7″ santoku knife that celebrates the enduring beauty of natural craftsmanship. Named after the auspicious "flourishing tree," the Mizuki is forged for those who seek timeless elegance and dependable performance in every cut.
The blade is forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG10 cutting core, delivering exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. The distinctive wave pattern across the blade is unique to each knife, a testament to traditional forging mastery. Honed to a precise 12° V-shape edge—significantly sharper than the 20–25° found on typical Western knives—the Mizuki glides effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and delicate ingredients alike.
The handle is crafted from rich, polished rosewood with a full-tang triple-rivet construction, ensuring outstanding strength and balance. The ergonomic Western-style grip fits naturally in the hand, providing secure control and reducing fatigue during extended use. A decorative mosaic pin adds a refined finishing touch, while the smooth, streamlined contours make this handle as comfortable as it is beautiful.
At 7″, the Mizuki santoku excels at the three essential cuts—slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its wide blade profile allows for easy scooping and transfer of ingredients, while the balanced weight provides agile, confident handling for both everyday meal preparation and more ambitious culinary projects.
The Mizuki 瑞樹 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife is crafted for those who value reliability and natural elegance. A blade built to flourish in your kitchen, the Mizuki will deliver precision and beauty for years to come.

SaleReally like this knife, its sharp and well made. The only thing is the handle feels a bit slim for my hands but I've got big hands so it might not bother most people. Still performs great and would recommend.
Brilliant knife. Massive upgrade from the set we had from a supermarket. The handle feels nice in the hand and not too heavy at all. Cant believe how easy it is to get a fine dice on onions now.
Got this for my husband as a birthday gift, he's over the moon with it. Says the edge retention is brilliant compared to his old knives. The pattern on the blade is lovely too.
Its a decent knife for the price but I was expecting a bit more. The blade is sharp enough and the pattern looks nice but it doesn't feel as premium as I hoped. It does the job but I've had similar from a cheaper brand. Not bad but not blown away.
Absolute pleasure to use. The balance is spot on and its so sharp straight out the box. Makes prepping veg actually enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Been using it daily for about a month now and it's still razor sharp. Slices through tomatoes like butter and the flat profile on the santoku makes chopping herbs a doddle. Well packaged and arrived quick.
Bought this for my dad and he hasn't stopped going on about how sharp it is. He said the Damascus pattern is proper beautiful and its a joy to use. Came in a nice presentation box which was a bonus.
Ok so I was a bit nervous spending this much on a knife but its totally worth it. Used it to prep a whole Sunday roast and it handled everything from carrots to the chicken with ease. Looks stunning on the magnetic strip too.
Impressed with the quality. It's a bit heavier than my old santoku but I think I actually prefer the heft now. Cuts through tomatoes like a dream.
Been using this daily for a few weeks, it's brilliant. My only slight niggle is I find the flat spot at the heel a bit short for my rocking style, but for push cutting it's perfect.
Great knife. The VG10 core seems to hold an edge for ages. Used it to break down a chicken and it handled it fine, though i'd probably use a different knife for the bones next time. Handle is comfy. Overall really pleased.
It's a decent knife. Sharp when it arrived and looks nice. Not sure it's that much better than my old one to justify the price if I'm honest. Does the job though.
Really good value I think. The blade is stunning and it's very sharp. I find myself reaching for it over my other knives now. No real complaints.
So i've been after a proper santoku for ages and this is just perfect. The damascus pattern is stunning, really unique. Its so sharp out the box, glides through veg like butter. Been using it every day for a month and the edge is still spot on, holds up really well. My favourite knife in the kitchen now.
Bought this for my dad and he loves it. He said it's a bit lighter than he expected from the pictures but he actually finds that better for longer prep sessions.
Bought this for my husband who loves cooking. He was chuffed with it, said it's a massive upgrade from our old supermarket set. He did say he wishes it was maybe an 8 inch instead of 7, but he's used to it now and loves it. Came in a nice box too.
Cant believe how sharp it is, honestly. The flat profile is great for push cutting. My only minor gripe is its a tad heavier than i expected, but i dont mind it now, feels more substantial. Arrived next day which was a bonus.
Massive upgrade from the cheap supermarket santoku I had. The weight and the flat profile make chopping so much easier, especially with herbs. Really pleased.
Really nice knife, feels solid and looks the part. Makes chopping onions a dream. Only thing is the handle shape is a bit different to my old one, took me a day or two to get used to it. But yeah, great bit of kit for the money.
Ok so it's fine. Cuts well enough and the handle is okay. I was expecting to be more wowed for the money. It's good, not great. Probably wouldn't buy it again.
The knife is beautiful and performs even better. I was worried about the VG10 core being hard to sharpen but it's held its edge for ages with just a honing rod.
Absolutely love this knife. The pattern on the blade is stunning and its so sharp, glides through veg like its nothing. My new favourite in the kitchen.
Solid performer. The VG10 core seems to hold an edge well. I do wish the handle had a bit more texture or something for grip, but it's a minor point on an otherwise excellent knife.
Very pleased overall. It's a proper sharp knife that looks the part. I suppose I thought the Damascus pattern would be a bit more pronounced, but that's just aesthetics. Cuts great.
Beautiful finish and incredibly sharp. Does exactly what you'd want. I think for the price I was maybe expecting a saya or cover, but it came in a decent box so can't complain really.
