PRETTY (sharp) IN PINK!

I got a new knife!

I know what you're thinking. PINK? I know, but I did'nt buy it for the color. And don't let the color fool you. It's very sharp.

I can finally cut raw meat (in my case, mostly chicken) with ease. I don't know what took me so long to buy a sharp knife. I have been struggling for years, trying to trim fat, cut thin slices of meat, filet and butterfly. I guess I just thought it was supposed to be difficult. But now it's so easy. Actually almost too easy. The first time I used it, I nearly cut my finger off. The knife just cut so easily through my skin, I did'nt even feel it.

It is a Pure-Komachi... It's high carbon stainless steel and made in Japan. I paid $24.99
at a specialty cutlery shop. You can also order online from their website. So why did I choose this one? I just asked the shop owner for the cheapest, but sharpest knife available.

All I can say is I'm happy with it. So what if it's pink. Actually, it's kind of growing on me.

Every kitchen needs a bit of whimsy. Is this one you can use a steele with?

Mooncrazy, NO. It still needs tlc when cleaning. I would'nt even put it in the dishwasher (I would'nt want it to lose it's pretty color) :)

Congrats on your new acquisition! I've seen these at a local cookware store and always hesitated to buy it. You've convinced me to finally treat myself to some pink in a gal's kitchen!

Cool! We got the whole set, pink, green, yellow etc (ie bread, fish, meat, veggie knives) as a wedding present and love them!
