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.

Great knife .Very sharp. I gave one as a gift to people who normally use dull blades. They have gotten cut twice.(even tho I warned them to be careful) So be very careful if this is the first time you have used a good knife. We enjoy using ours and have ordered others.I haven’t had it long enough to know if color fades or comes off but I wash by hand and never in dishwasher as dishwashers can dull the blade.

I’d say 4 inches of the blade are not serrated so it’s good for slicing. The thin tip is flexible which enables you to remove the skin from fish easily. I also think this is an ideal knife for deveining shrimp. However, I don’t think this knife is the correct size or shape for comfortably mincing vegetables. As long as you have a chef’s knife in addition to this knife in your kitchen, you’re pretty much set. (According to the Charlie Trotter book, Knife Skills: In the kitchen, you’ll want a bread knife too because you don’t want to dull sharp blades on crunchy bread crusts).

This knife is great when you want to trim the excess fat from any meat before preparation. Using any stroke, small or large removes fat effortlessly from roasts, chops, steaks, etc.. No ‘hacking’ necessary and the lightest of touches gets the job done. If you need sharp knives at lower, affordable costs, the Komachi line is the one for you. These are the makers of the Shun line of knives and you can send these knives in once a year for FREE sharpening. These are inexpensive enough to have 2 sets, one set to send in for sharpening and the other set to keep and use while the dulled ones are away for resharpening. These prices are less that the retail store, by about $3.00 each. Just keep in mind that these knives are razor sharp and fairly lightweight so you must be careful at all times.
