Komachi 小町 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife 三徳包丁
Introducing the Komachi 小町 by Shimeru, a premium 7″ santoku knife that embodies timeless Japanese elegance and refined simplicity. Named after the legendary poet celebrated for her grace and beauty, the Komachi is crafted for those who believe true sophistication lies in understated perfection.
The blade is forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG10 cutting core, renowned for its exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. The flowing wave pattern across the blade tells the story of traditional forging mastery, while the polished finish ensures smooth, effortless cuts through vegetables, proteins, and delicate ingredients alike.
The handle is crafted from rich, deep-grained rosewood with an elegant octagonal profile that sits naturally in the hand. A decorative mosaic pin adds a subtle accent of refinement, while the ergonomic shape provides a secure, comfortable grip that minimises fatigue during extended use. The warm tones of the wood complement the steel beautifully, creating a knife that is as pleasing to hold as it is to behold.
At 7″, the Komachi 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 creations.
The Komachi 小町 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife is for those who appreciate the quiet confidence of classic design. Elegant, precise, and purposeful, the Komachi will bring timeless beauty and effortless performance to your kitchen for years to come.
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.

Sold OutGot this for my husband who loves to cook. He's been using it every day for a month now and says the edge is still perfect. He loves the weight and balance, says it feels solid in his hand. The handle is comfortable, not too big. He specifically wanted a santoku for the flat edge and this one is perfect for his chopping style. Really happy with the purchase.
Arrived faster than I thought. Knife is gorgeous, the wavy lines on the blade are cool. It's sharp out of the box and works great for all my chopping.
Does the job well. The edge is fantastic. My minor gripe is I wish the blade was a tiny bit taller from the spine to the edge, but that's just my preference. Would recommend.
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook. He said its the sharpest knife he's ever owned. He uses it every day. The box it came in was really nice too.
This is a great knife for the price. The Damascus pattern is beautiful and it's super sharp. I've used it to break down a whole chicken and it handled the cartilage just fine. My only minor thing is the handle shape. It's a little more oval than I'm used to, took a day or two to get comfortable with my grip. But the performance is fantastic, definitely recommend it.
Great knife, super sharp. I wish it came in an 8 inch version too, I have big hands and sometimes a little more length would be nice. Still a great buy.
It's a decent knife. Looks nice and it's sharp. I guess I was expecting more for a Damascus steel knife? The handle feels a bit cheap for the price, kind of plasticky. It cuts fine, I used it to slice some tomatoes and it did the job. But I'm not blown away or anything. It's good, not great. Does what it says on the tin.
This knife feels great in the hand and cuts beautifully.
