Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pure Komachi 2 Series Fish Knife
Customer Review: An amazing knife for the price...
Summary: 5 Stars
Years ago I bought a package deal from On The Table containing a first generation Pure Komachi Fish knife and Kitchen Shears (matching colors) for $20. We're still using both, but the Fish knife has had some of the coating near the edge chip away; however, it's also the most used knife in our kitchen. Though I've sharpened this knife many times over the years, it holds its edge much better than most of my knives, some of which are fairly expensive. They're also easy to sharpen. Pure Komachi knives seem to be fairly high carbon and I honestly prefer them to my Gerber, Mac (non-pro), etc. knives. In my opinion, Pure Komachi knives are better than anything else you will find at most (non-specialized) department stores.
I keep all of my kitchen cutlery, regardless of quality, very sharp. I use Spyderco Fine and Ultra Fine bench stones. I sharpen my knives before they get dull, such that they are usually sharp enough to shave hair. My Pure Komachi continues to hold a great edge.
I also own a number of Pure Komachi 2 knives (made in China), which is what I'm reviewing here. As far as their blade characteristics go, the second generation knives are essentially the same as the first generation Pure Komachi knives (made in Japan). First generation Pure Komachi knives had slightly more appealing colors and nice translucent handles (and the knife tang contained cutouts depicting fish, bread, etc. depending on the knife's purpose).
Wash these knives by hand--I recommend against putting any knives in the dishwasher. In this case it's bad for the coating, but it seems likely that putting knives in the dishwasher can damage their temper. As absurd as that may sound to you, I inherited a few knives from my grandparents that are duplicates of knives I've owned that have that simply won't hold an edge (while mine will). The only difference is that my grandparents washed their knives in the dishwasher.
Higher end knives are better than Pure Komachi, but one high end knife will cost you as much as a full set of Pure Komachi knives. I vastly prefer my 4 Shun knives--they get sharper and stay sharp much longer, but they're expensive knives and I tend to baby them (and hide them from guests).
Description of Pure Komachi 2 Series Fish Knife
Brilliant Monochromatic colors make the pure komachi 2 series a real eye-catcher. But all that fun-loving color has a serious purpose too. The color-coding makes it easy to choose the right knife for the job. It also helps guard against cross-contaminating food-for instance, by using the knife you've just used to cut meat on the vegetables. The bold blade colr is achieved by bonding food-safe fda approved resin to high-carbon stainless-steel blades. This non-stick coating resists corrosion, makes cleaning simple, and hlps the knife glide through food with ease. The pure komachi 2 color-matched handles are lightweight and ergonomically contoured for a comfortable, fatique-reducing grip. Incredible sharp and decidedly attention-getting. Pure komachi 2 knives make a delightful addition to any kitchen.Seafood Tools
