Product Description

Brilliant Monochromatic colors make the pure komachi 2 series a real eye-catcher. But all that fun-loving color has a serious purpose too. The color-coding makes it easy to choose the right knife for the job. It also helps guard against cross-contaminating food-for instance, by using the knife you've just used to cut meat on the vegetables. The bold blade colr is achieved by bonding food-safe fda approved resin to high-carbon stainless-steel blades. This non-stick coating resists corrosion, makes cleaning simple, and hlps the knife glide through food with ease. The pure komachi 2 color-matched handles are lightweight and ergonomically contoured for a comfortable, fatique-reducing grip. Incredible sharp and decidedly attention-getting. Pure komachi 2 knives make a delightful addition to any kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A performance knife for less March 8, 2010

By kitty pinkerton

This is a versatile knife that I use from carving meat to slicing vegetables. The blade is very thin, so if you're looking for a knife to cut through bones or a whole pumpkin, this may not be the best knife, but it'll easily slice paper thin garlic and mince shallots. The curved blade works great for chopping herbs and the sharp tip allows precise control over carving meat and fish.
I've been using this knife everyday for about 4 months now, and the blade is not showing any signs of dullness. I am planning on getting other series from this line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange Color, but Amazing Knife! March 9, 2010

We received a Shun santoku and this fuschia-colored Komachi last Christmas. The Shun is fantastic, but this knife gets used just as much. For some things, like cheese, fruitcake and other sticky foods, the Komachi is much better - slices thinly and cheese doesn't cling. It's lightweight and easy to control. We now have a few knives in the Komachi line and just love them (especially the bread knife) in spite of also owning and using the high-end Shun knives. At first, the bright colors of the Komachi were somewhat off-putting, but once we started using them we found them to be great, supersharp knives and there's no picking through the rack to find what one is looking for!

I love this knife. We've had it for a week and it is super sharp, has a great balance. I also like the thin blade, it does not crack things like mushrooms when I cut.
