pretty purple slicing knife

This Komachi sandwich knife is my most-used knife...it's great for most general cutting - sandwiches, bread, fruits & vegetables. But because of it's wavy serrated edge it's not meant for chopping tasks, or mincing small items. I also don't find it good for scooping spreads out of the jar as intended...it's too bulky and pointy to be useful for that.

The blade is somewhat thick and non-flexible ...which is how I like cutting knives to be. This knife comes with a purple plastic sheath for storage, and the handle is hard plastic.

Like serrated knives, it cuts decently well even after the outer edges of the scallops get dulled down - because the inner surfaces remain sharp. And like most other serrated knives, only one side of the blade is beveled - this causes a slight deflection when cutting downward - you eventually get used to applying an opposite twist to compensate.

Safety issues: because the handle and blade are the same color, it's possible to unknowingly grab the wrong end. And the heel of the blade is so close to the handle, you can accidentally close your index finger on it.

Great knife for slicing. The handle is just a little awkward for my small hands or maybe I'm just use to the cheap Walmart handles.

I have not used this knife a lot yet but so far it is really nice and gorgeous to look at. It came in a nice box which was almost a shame to throw away, but I only have so much space in my drawer. The knife feels good in your hand and cuts through bagels, crusty bread and soft bread effortlessly. The hard plastic sheath protects the knife from damage while it is sliding around in a drawer. Excellent value for the money.

This is a nice knife, it came to me very sharp. I love the carrying holster too. No problems with anything (as of yet). Good gift idea for a knife collector or someone in need of a good knife.

Knife was delivered promptly, and well-packaged. The black finish is attractive, although this one has a spot on one side where it looks like it rubbed against something, so it is a different color. It doesn't affect the use of the knife, so I did not  return it.

The handle is well made, and comfortable. The knife is surprisingly lightweight, and although the balance point is a little farther towards the tip than I would normally prefer, it is easy to get used to.

Out of the box, the knife was sharp, but not as sharp as I prefer. I touched up the edge and polished it on waterstones, and after some stropping, the edge was more to my liking.  Given the super blue steel, the edge should hold for some time. I used it as my only knife to prepare dinner (slicing/dicing meat, cutting and cubing vegetables) and the edge did not appear to have any wear at all.

Given the light weight of this knife, I imagine it will see plenty of service for prep work. All in all, happy with it after the first couple days of use.

I've had my Victorinox 8-inch Chef's knife one month. I like it well enough to order another for my daughter. I received the #5.2063.20. It concerned me that my knife did not have 'Fibrox' written on the handle (as shown in the picture) or on the package it arrived in. After reading the FAQ, I see that it is the same knife as pictured. It's hard to give it a five-star rating since I've had it such a short time. It is my 'go to' knife though, and I have several knives, Wusthof for example, that cost a lot more.

The knife is very attractive and well protected in it's case. I used it for the first time to slice a tomato and it cut like a dream. The knife is very
sharp and well worth the small cost.

Love the knife, not a fan of the faux edge on the back but aesthetically it is very pleasing.

So far, under light use, I really like this knife.

An unusual cheese knife.  Hope it keeps it's sharpness, because its not steel.

Nice size for cutting carrots and cucumbers.  Blade seems pretty sharp.  Hope it stays that way.  Fits easily in a drawer.

I'm not an knife expert or enthusiast, but just a college girl wanting something that will help me not be defenseless against creeps and such.
This knife looks like it is pretty good quality, which is good for $11.
Probably could stand to be sharpened though. (easily done)
It fits my hand almost perfectly and the spring assist works really well.
I think that it is also every bit as pretty as I thought it looked in the picture.
Overall, a really good buy in my opinion.

For the price this is a great knife. It came sharp and the handle is really beautiful. I was not disappointed.

Love the feel of the knife. Blade is razor sharp. But it is a knife edge is also delicate--meaning I would not use it in situations that required heavy pressure, which is how I finely chop my veggies or mince meat, but more as a slicing knife.

It is a very pretty and functional knife. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a dress knife. You have another one that is silver and I am considering getting it also.

Very nice! Love that it is heavy & can be used in the oven or on the stovetop. The purple color is pretty.

I love this company's knife. It is very sharp and the yellow color is a delight to me! Please know, however, I have a little Kyocera knife which broke. The tip of the blade simply broke off somehow after having had it for over a year! The peeler is a cute design, but I never use peelers. This combination package was a really great price as compared to other places I've seen it!
