For the price…I did not expect much of a knife…I bought it after reading all the soaring reviews. After it arrived…the first thing I noticed was the very light weight …and no balance to speak of. However…the “proof is in the pudding” as they say..off to dice up some tomatoes. It did fair…not great. The blade could be sharper for this weight of knife. I have a ceramic knife that is very good slicing tomatoes…and this pale green wonder comes in a decided third to it. It needs more weight to aid in cutting. Will probably be used often for general hacking. Good enough for the price…but not a great knife.

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.

I had purchased another Komachi Knife previously and liked it so much that I got rid of all of my old knives (that were not so good). I have quite a few of these Komachi Knives in different sizes and love them all. They are so light weight but very sharp and easy to use. While not expensive, the quality is unbelievably good.

I’ve had this knife for some time and love it. My father who is not easily impressed, and a family friend recently visited, tried it, and each had to have one.

I really wanted to like this knife. I read all of the reviews and I loved the design, but it’s uncomfortable to use. My wrist felt sore after using it for less than a minute, cutting an apple into quarters. Yes, I know it’s a fish knife, but cutting an apple shouldn’t have put that much pressure on my wrist. I guess I can save it for cutting tofu or fish, or continue using it as an ornament. It’s not an ideal “all purpose” knife.

this knife was purchased with the intent to give each of our groomsmen as gifts. My fiance is a fisherman and cuts and fillets fish quite often. I have also had to learn the skills. I have used professional grade knives in the past to cut fish, but most of them had too long a blade for most reef fish. The komachi knife blade looked awfully small to me at first, but when cutting fish of varying sizes, I find that it does its job adequately. Komachi knives have great grip in the handle, and they are lightweight. There is a slight flex in the blade, enough to maneuver around bones and small areas on fish. I have yet to use the top of the knife, which is for scaling. I still just use a fork for the job. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who cuts or cleans fish often.
