No good for soft cheeses

I suppose this might work great on firmer cheeses like Swiss, but I eat softer cheeses and blues. The blade gets all gummed up with soft cheese and the holes make it worse. I used to have a cheese knife with a plastic blade. The blade had kind of a "clapboard" texture to it. It worked far better and...

Great bread knife for professional kitchen work

I've been a cook for 10+ years, and I've worked in a wide variety of kitchens serving an equally wide variety of foods. Pros: -Relatively inexpensive: Serrated knives are great for a wide variety of jobs, but difficult to sharpen. Instead of worrying about sharpening an expensive serrated knife, I p...

Great value

I use this 9" slicing knife to carve cooked meats. It has made quick, tidy work of every roast I've thrown in its path... including turkey/chicken (I am notoriously bad at carving those). Kitchen knives are one of those things: you can basically spend as much as you want on them. However, sometimes ...

Isn't it just a knife?

OK, so I thought a knife is a knife is a knife. I've had the same basic set for 20 years and I never knew the difference. That was true until my dad gave me a chef's knife of a different brand. I was actually afraid to use it at first as he warned me it was very sharp. Well, once I did, I fell in LO...

Pure Komachi 2 Series are great, and their Bread Knife one of my favorite so far.

I was never a bread eater. So of course when my doctor asked me to switch to a carb restricted diet I naturally started to crave bread. He wants me to avoid a lot of the types of flour that are common in store bought bread. Wanting to appease my doctor I started making fresh homemade bread so I coul...

Don't know what else I could possibly want from a bread knife!

I've had this knife for several months, and it has been nothing but a joy to use. It's incredibly sharp, feels nice and stable in the hand, and cuts through bread (and cakes, and whatever I mis-use it for) like a hot wire. I love how easy it is to clean, thanks to the coating on the blade. And it's ...

How did I cook without it?

I have been cooking for my family, and for myself, for years now... and I am astonished that I was ever able to prepare dishes without a knife like this. It glides through raw chicken almost as easily as it moves through the air. It make cuts my prep time down dramatically, and is still razor sharp!...

Neon orange, sharp, and doesn’t mangle bread or produce!

After many years of simply making due with use of sub-par knives and without a designated bread knife, I finally committed to purchasing a special bread knife in preparation of Thanksgiving dinner. Initially, I was hesitant to order this knife because the vibrant orange hue was a bit off-putting. In...

Can it do as advertised

I have a set of Cutco Knives purchased in 1966 - and they are still great, however I wasn't happy with their bread cutting knife. The reviews sounded good so I took a chance on this Komachi bread knife. I couldn't wait to cut into my latest loaf of home made bread. The knife performed perfectly; I d...

The holes release hard cheese or hard vegetables from the side of the knife

I have owned and used this knife for about 2 years. This knife design is for cutting hard cheeses and hard vegetables. The holes work exactly as they should, which is to release the cheese from the knife easier. The purpose of the holes is not to make it easier to cut the cheese, but to help with th...
