Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pure Komachi by Kai 6-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife with Scalloped EdgeCustomer Review: Review of Komachi Santoku Knife with Scallops Summary: 5 Stars
I have a set of Wüsthof Grand Prix (7 knives). It does not include a Santoku knife. So, I preordered a Komachi Santoku knife with scallops for a try. After waiting about two months, I finally received my knife from Amazon. I was surprised and somehow disappointed when I saw this knife. This knife has a purple pink color. It is very cute and looks like a girl's toy, not a cooking knife. So I let it sit for days without touching it. Until one day, I met a chef at a local grocery store, she used Komachi knives and highly recommended them. So I thought at least I should give it a try. I tested the purple knife side by side with my favorite Wüsthof 6" chef knife for cutting cheese and potatoes. These two knives are very similar in size. However, the Komachi knife is significantly lighter in weight and thinner in blade than the Wüsthof chef knife. After testing, I was very surprised! I usually use a utility knife instead of a chef knife for cutting potatoes to prevent foods from sticking. I found that the resin coating and scallops for the Komachi knife really prevented foods from sticking. I can cut cheese and potatoes much faster and effectively than using the chef knife. In addition, the Santoku knife can slice foods thinner than the chef knife. Right now, I still use my Wüsthof knives. I use this purple knife for cutting foods that stick to the blade. If you are thinking about buying an all-purpose or a vegetable knife and do not have strong expectations about what a good knife is supposed to be (such as a knife's color and appearance), this will be a good knife for you. I highly recommend it.
