Suisen 水仙 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife 三徳包丁
Introducing the Suisen 水仙 by Shimeru, a premium 7″ santoku knife that captures the iridescent beauty of Japan's beloved narcissus flower. With its mesmerising abalone shell handle, the Suisen is forged for those who believe a knife should be as captivating as the dishes it creates.
The blade is forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG10 cutting core, delivering exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. The intricate wave pattern across the blade is unique to each knife, a hallmark of traditional Damascus craftsmanship. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces friction and prevents food from clinging, ensuring clean, effortless cuts through vegetables, proteins, and delicate ingredients alike.
The handle is crafted from genuine abalone shell resin, displaying an ever-shifting spectrum of blues, greens, and iridescent hues that catch the light with every movement. No two handles are identical, making each Suisen a truly unique piece. The ergonomic Western-style grip provides a secure, comfortable hold, while a decorative mosaic pin adds a refined finishing touch. Moisture-resistant and built for durability, this handle performs beautifully in the busiest kitchens.
At 7″, the Suisen 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 ambitious culinary creations.
The Suisen 水仙 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife is crafted for chefs who appreciate artistry as much as performance. A blade that brings colour, light, and inspiration to your kitchen, the Suisen will transform every cooking session into an experience to savour.

SaleI’m really happy with the performance of this knife; it’s sharp and comfortable to use.
The knife is sharp, but it dulls too quickly for my liking.
I’ve been using this knife regularly, and it’s held up well. It’s sharp, comfortable to hold, and easy to clean. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing to chopping, though I did find that it needs regular honing to stay sharp. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, though it could be a bit more ergonomic for better comfort during long cooking sessions. Despite these small issues, it’s a solid knife that’s become a staple in my kitchen.
A truly outstanding knife that delivers on all fronts.
Outstanding knife! Cuts like a dream.
This knife is sharp and easy to use, though the blade dulls quicker than I’d like. It’s a good tool for everyday cooking.
I’m pleased with the performance of this knife. It’s sharp, comfortable to use, and seems built to last.
I’m very satisfied with this knife. It’s sharp, well-made, and has a good weight to it, making it easy to control.
I’m really enjoying this knife—it’s sharp, comfortable, and a great value.
It's okay, but not worth the price in my opinion.
It works fine, but it feels a bit cheaply made.
The knife was delivered quickly, and it’s easily the best knife I’ve ever owned.
The knife does its job, but it’s not particularly impressive.
This knife delivers professional-level results
Love this knife. The balance is right at the point where you pinch the blade, makes it feel really controlled. Damascus pattern is a proper work of art.
Got this as a birthday present for my wife who loves cooking, shes absolutely made up with it. Says the balance is perfect and its her new favourite thing in the kitchen.
Really like this knife. The size is ideal. I just find myself reaching for a different knife for meat, as I prefer a pointier tip, but for 90% of my cooking this santoku is spot on.
Came really well packaged in a nice box, felt like a proper premium product. First proper Japanese knife I've owned and I'm chuffed with it. Slices tomatoes like they're not even there.
The craftsmanship on this knife is evident in every slice, making it a great kitchen companion.
This knife stands out for its sharpness and beautiful design.
Its a decent knife. Does the job. Sharp enough. I suppose I was expecting to be a bit more wowed for the money. The handle looks nice but feels a bit like plastic to me, not as premium as I'd hoped. Its fine, just not amazing.
Really nice knife, super sharp and looks the part. Only reason its not 5 stars is the handle shape is a bit square for my liking, takes a bit of getting used to but I'm adapting.
Brilliant knife, exactly what I needed. Lovely edge on it.
The pattern on the blade is different to the one in the photo, which I actually like cos it means mines unique. Cuts beautifully, nice and light in the hand.
This knife is a great all-rounder. It’s sharp enough to handle any task, and the design is simple yet effective.
