I have owned this knife for 2 years now, and still love it. Yes, I have another chef's knife by a well-known company for which I paid 4x more, but somehow I keep coming back to this one. I use it not only on fruits and veggies (recommended) but for meats, cheeses, anything. It's lightweight but not flimsy, cute but not (to me) obnoxious, and works well for a great price. It has held up nicely over the years with a little staining on the blade, which does not bother me as it does not affect functionality.

I recently bought a knife sharpener, and it was the best thing I ever did. Today it cuts as well as the day I got it.

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. The serrated knife (the yellow one) is great for cutting bread, too.

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!!!

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.

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.
