Customer Review: 6-star knife!
Summary: 5 Stars
That's what I'd give it if I could.
I've avoided serrated knives in the past because I sharpen my own knives and have had no problem with bread, tomatoes or anything else that came my way.
Last week, however, I bought a loaf of French bread from a new bakery, and the crust on this was a chewy-stretchy, semi-soft-rather-than-crisp-but-still-tough and my knives just didn't cut it.
I tried two different types of bread knives - a Henckels with wide-spaced teeth, and an older one with closely spaced, fine teeth. Both generated tons of crumbs as they sawed through the loaf rather than cutting. (The Henckels was worst by far, with the Rogers providing a smoother, cleaner cut.)
The Komachi arrived today and even though it is serrated, too, it cut like a laser - totally, incredibly awesome.
I'm getting two more for my kids.
Description of Pure Komachi by Kai 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Bread Knife
Komachi translates to "an expression representing a beautiful intelligent lady". The Komachi lineup of knives from KAI are high quality knives that express a relaxed and confident attitude. These knives are very sharp and are perfect to use in the kitchen, backyard patio, at beach parties or mountain cabin retreats. Keep a couple sets handy for spontaneous weekend outings or the next big tailgating party. Multicolored handles differentiate the Bread knife from the Fish knife, Meat knife and the Vegetable knife. Komachi will brighten up any setting. Show your fun side with Komachi.Measuring 8-1/4 inches, the long narrow blade of Komachi?s bread knife features a sharp, serrated edge ideal for cutting through everything from rustic artisan bread to moist banana bread. The knife is equally appropriate for dessert items, comfortably divvying birthday sheet cakes or thin slices of pear tart. The knife hides whimsical, bread-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 13 by 1-1/2 by 3/4 inches overall, this bread knife is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. -- Amy Arnold
