Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pure Komachi by Kai 6-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef?s Meat Knife
Customer Review: get knife that shows you know your implements
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this along with a number of other knives because I seem to have a knife addiction and had read a number of reviews of this brand which suggested good value for the money. For students on a budget who like to cook or recent grads, this line would probably do an adequate job, probably better than the cheaper line of german knives. However, I'm a firm believer that having a good quality knive in the kitchen saves not only money in the long term (by encouraging you to take pleasure in your cooking), but also can be a tremendous babe magnet. The other knife I ordered is a Shun; described above, it is the most beautiful and functional knife I have ever had, and outperforms my wustoff, henkles, and dare I say it, even my global knives. And it looks amazing in the kitchen, with a gorgeous finish...whereas this pink plastic knife just would make me look like a pansy.Customer Review: doesn't stay sharp long!

I bought this knife for my mother who was in need of a good meat knife. At first she loved it, but when I asked her a month later if she wanted me to order another fromn this set, she said it was as dull as the rest of her knifes after one month. Obviously the price was reasonable, but if doesn't perform its not really a bargainCustomer Review: Cheap

I was expecting a lot more from this knife but this is one case of "you get what you pay for". I dont recommend this knife because the feel is cheap. Pay a little more and get a nice knife to chop or cut. I cook a lot so I need something that is comfortable for my hands and this is not it.
Try the Rachel Ray Furi East/West Knife. More expensive but worth it.
Customer Review: Stayed sharp for a couple days
Summary: 1 Stars
I got a Pure Komachi Chef's Knife last year and enjoyed it the first couple times I used it. After that, the blade got dull and since you can't sharpen it, it became useless. I'm afraid there is no such thing as a "forever sharp" knife. I couldn't even cut a cherry tomato with the Komachi without having to saw through it.
After seeing it sit unused in my kitchen drawer for a few weeks, I finally decided to contact Kershaw Knives about the lifetime warranty. Unfortunately, Kershaw will not refund your money if you are dissatisfied with the product, so their lifetime warranty is worthless. I shipped the knife to them (at a cost of $9.50 because they requested UPS shipping) with a letter explaining my dissatisfaction and asking for a refund, and they simply replaced it with another one. Oh well, I suppose I can use it as a gift for someone I don't like.
At least I now have a great chef's knife - the MAC TH-80 cuts like a dream, can be easily sharpened should the blade lose its edge, and is a joy to use. There are many knives available in the $40-$60 range that won't break the bank, but will perform much better for much longer. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra dollars to get a knife that will last for years and years to come.
Customer Review: VERY DISAPPOINTED

I bought this knive about 6 months ago. When I first started using it it was great. After about 2 weeks it became so dull I had to throw it away. This knife can't be sharpened. I recently bought a better knife that can be sharpened and I am very happy with it.
