Summary: 4 Stars
Okay okay so I have to admit that the color was the first thing that caught my eye with this knife. I was shopping at Zabars, one of my favorite stores, and the Komachi collection stood out amongst a field over dark and silver cutlery. I am in between buying serious knives from Global and Shun which aren't something I want to spend all my money on at the moment so I thought this would be a nice filler while I ponder which knife set I truly want.
This knife is apparently set to be a meat cutting one, and even thought I am starting to prefer the santoku design ( with the little eclipse indentations towards the bottom - this one isn't )because of their ability not to have anything you cut stick to the blade, I think it's little funny that this cannot simply be called an all purpose knife. I cut veggies and meat with it, and the sharpness diminished a little bit but not really because I have been cutting something extremely hard, a tomato for example wasn't yielding too quickly but in the end this blade did a decent job of cutting thought the skin.
Overall this is a cheap, lightweight and cute looking knife, the clear handle is very comfortable and the blade is always easy to find since the color is so unusual. I recommend gentle washing in favor of not disturbing the sharp edge, only one side is sharpened and it seems to get dulled a little if not handled gingerly.
