Product Description
Color-coded to highlight its specific function, this allover pink knife is made for handling meat.

Limited lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review
Measuring 6-1/2 inches in length, the straight blade with a slightly curved tip of Komachi's chef's knife comfortably cuts meat of any variety. Whether cubing beef or dicing chicken, the sharp blade handles tough and moist pieces with ease. The knife hides whimsical, animal-shaped cutouts beneath its handle. This unique collection--by renowned blade manufacturer KAI in Seki City, Japan--offers practical kitchen cutlery in cheerful colors. Durable, high-carbon, stainless-steel blades featuring a fluorinated-resin coating offer hygienic food handling. The lightweight knife does not have a bolster but feels balanced thanks to the full tang. Clear, Ionomer-resin handles in coordinating hues are ergonomically designed and fit comfortably in hand. Made in Japan and measuring 11-1/2 by 2 by 3/4 inches overall, this Chef's knife is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. -- Amy Arnold

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.

What a fun knife but so functional. This is my favorite knife for tomatoes. I can slice them paper thin or thick and chopping is a breeze. I would recomend this knife to everyone!!
Great value May 21, 2007
Don't let the low price throw you; this is a well balanced knife that is really sharp and holds an edge very well. I liked it so much that I bought one of every style.

unfortunately, my idiot brother put it in the dishwasher while he was visiting so I have to buy a new one. only wash it off with some soap and water. otherwise it gets scratched up and ruined. but i am buying this knife again. properly cared for, it is very sharp, great for cutting meat and also sushi rolls, and so cute!
