Product Description: It may have a cute, color-coded exterior, but this new knife boasts some serious technology. Packed with personality and performance, this allover green Santoku is best suited for preparing fruits and vegetables. The high-carbon stainless steel blade provides a razor sharp edge, while a fluorinated resin coating keeps food from sticking during preparation and helps resist bacteria for super-hygienic cooking. Limited lifetime warranty.
Amazon.com Review: Measuring 6-1/2 inches in length, the straight-edged blade of Komachi’s santoku knife comfortably chops, dices, and slices produce of any variety. Slice fresh pineapple and melons, shred cabbage, or julienne carrots for your favorite stir fry. The knife hides a whimsical, fish-shaped cutout 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 11-1/4 by 2 by 3/4 inches overall, this vegetable knife is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. -- Amy Arnold

Rating: - Excellent light, sharp knife for cutting vegetables
My roommate had this knife, and at first I was skeptical- maybe the bright turquoise color threw me off? Before he moved out, however, I made sure that I found one of these knives for myself.
I only cut vegetables with it, and it has stayed wonderfully sharp. I'm on the shorter/smaller side, so with other knives I had trouble finding a good balance, and often times my forearm would get too tired because of a knife's weight. This knife is incredibly light, so I can chop without tiring. Excellent!
Overall, the Pure Komachi is a wonderful value, and great for chopping veggies. ... Read More

I have this knife plus three others--they are fantastic but you can get cut just looking at them--way sharp!!! Do not drink and chop!!!
Rating: - Wish it wasn't peeling
I love this knife. It is sharp, lightweight, and fun. By far the best knife I own. However, after only three days of use on fruits & vegetables (greens, onions, tomatoes, squash, melon), it the green on the blade has begun to pit & peel. What a disappointed. I am returning this item to Amazon, and I'll continue my search for set of an affordable, quality knives.
Rating: - The best knife ever
I have a whole collection of these Komachi knives. They are the best, easy to clean, so sharp and great in use. No regrets of spending money for them. Once you try them in use, other knives you have will "rest in peace":) Just don't throw away a plastic package they come from, you can use it as a storage, this way knives will stay unscratched.
Rating: - Have Had My Komachi Veg. Knife for 3 Years
I have had my knife for 3 years, I have the pink meat knife that I love not quite as much and bought the purple knife today. I would love to purchase myself a $300 knife seriously, but this is by far the best knife I have ever had. It makes chopping and dicing veggies a breeze and I love it. And for $20 replace it, in 3 years it has dulled a bit, but never been sharpened. Fabulous.
