Kotobuki Fruit Knife with Wood Cover

My friend at work had one of these so I searched Amazon and of course they carried it! After getting tired of a regular ole steak knife cutting up the inside of my lunch bag I HAD to buy one of these! It works great but as the previous reviewer states, it is SHARP! Be careful with it...I'm kind of nervous using it at work since I use it to cut up apples!

I bought this knife to bring to work for my lunches. It is a perfect size for a lunchbox and cuts through tomatoes, etc like a hot knife through butter. Make sure you clean the knife before putting it back in its sleeve.

Buy Kotobuki Fruit Knife with Wood Cover Now

Three years ago I bought this little Japanese gem in San Francisco for less than $8.00, and it is the pride of my small-kitchen-knife collection, and beats all European attempts at a knife this size. For an inexpensive knife it is impressively made. What is not advertized clearly is that this blade is a thin splinter of ultra hard carbon compounded steel sandwiched in flexible stainless outer layers, a feature usually costing much more. It was sharp out of the box, but still needs, as all knives do, honing with a ceramic stick after each use, to keep a razor edge. (BTW, those folks who boast that they go years without sharpening should learn to sharpen and hone knives, as you can keep it new-sharp that way, forever) If you have a hand lens you can check out the sandwich construction at the base of the blade where it goes into the handle. Edge retention and utility of this knife is superb ..... a total winner!

I believe the same knife is also sold as Suncraft brand.

This is such a good knife, like most products made in Japan.

I've had it for more than 2 years now and I haven't had to sharpen it yet.

It cuts just about anything, and the small size and handle shape give you great control for peeling etc.

It handles tomato and bell pepper skin very well considering that it's not serrated.

Definitely recommended!

Some things aren't optional in the kitchen and knives are close to the top of that list for me. I have a couple Shun products, the most used is their 10" Chef's Knife, and wanted to experiment with ultra-cheap products for a while before I could get my hands on a traditional Japanese set. This knife is truly incredible for the price.

Nothing impresses me more than a quality product at some absurdly low cost and I still can't quite figure out why it's so cheap; it's made in Japan, the materials aren't bad at all, and even feels decent in the hand. It arrived impossibly sharp for a cheap blade and it's even held up well with frequent use with no signs of the handle or scabbard flexing at points where two materials are joined. I even think it's a pretty handsome little guy. While there are certainly other products that may be better in a variety of ways (better steel, better materials, etc.), I've never held a ten dollar knife and felt so confident in it.

If you want a genuinely good, downright cheap knife, you couldn't do better than this.
