From Kai, the company that makes fabulous Shun cutlery, come the brilliant Pure Komachi knives. Brilliant in color, brilliant in price, brilliant in performance, Pure Komachi knives are special. Made in Japan, the high-carbon stainless steel blades are hand-sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side, to make quick work of most any kitchen task. The molded resin handles are comfortable, and contoured for a secure grip. The colorful blade coating is food safe and easy to clean. And, Pure Komachi knives are just dang sharp. While they are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to prolong the life of the blade as well as the colorful blade coating. All Pure Komachi knives come with a matching sheath for easy and safe storage without a knife block.
