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.

Really nice bit of kit. The blade is stunning and stays sharp for ages, I’ve been using it daily for about three weeks now and it’s still slicing through tomatoes like nothing. Only thing is I wish it came in an 8 inch version, the 7 inch is fine but a touch short for some jobs. Still a cracking santoku though, miles better than my old one.

So I got this knife after using a cheap supermarket one for years. Cant believe how sharp it is, makes prepping veg a breeze. The Damascus pattern is proper lovely and it feels nicely balanced in my hand. Arrived really well packaged too, gift box and all. Best kitchen buy this year.

Right so I’ve been using this for meal prep every day for about a month now and honestly its still scary sharp. Replaced my old heavy German chef knife and the difference is night and day. The VG10 holds an edge so well, I havent even stropped it yet. Used it to slice a whole roasted chicken last sunday and it went through the skin without tearing, clean cuts. Handle looks a bit posh with the resin but its comfy even when my hands are damp. Only tiny thing is I’d have liked an 8 inch option but for 80 quid this is a steal. Came well packaged in a posh box, made a nice gift for myself lol.

Lovely weight and balance, feels proper in the hand. That damascus pattern is gorgeous too, pictures dont do it justice. Only had it a few days but it glides through veg, the flat belly on this santoku is dead handy for push cutting. Chuffed with it.

Got this for me birthday and honestly it’s a cracking bit of kit. The damascus pattern is right pretty, almost too nice to use but I’ve been using it daily anyway lol. Cuts through onions like they’re butter—makes quick work of everything really. The flat profile of the santoku suits how I chop, just a push cut nothing fancy. Bit lighter than me old Wusthof but I actually prefer it now, feels more nimble. Came really nicely packaged as well, like a proper present. The edge is still going strong after a fortnight, not touched it up yet. Proper happy with it.

Really 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.
Gemma (verified owner) –
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.
Craig Marsh (verified owner) –
Absolute pleasure to use. The balance is spot on and its so sharp straight out the box. Makes prepping veg actually enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Steve (verified owner) –
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.
Nicky Baker (verified owner) –
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.
Kev Watson (verified owner) –
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.
Rach (verified owner) –
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.
Heather Hill (verified owner) –
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.
Steve Jackson (verified owner) –
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.
Gary Wilson (verified owner) –
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.
