 Serrations great for tomatos, but that's it Jun 25, 2010
I bought this to have a very sharp small kitchen knife. I figured that the serrations wouldn't hurt, and would definitely add value with regard to slicing tomatoes. OOPS!
The serrations make slicing tomatoes, especially thin skinned very ripe ones, a breeze. Unfortunately, they "catch" on other food actually increasing the work needed to cut. Needless to say, I suppose, is that the stroke used with this knife is a pull (it will not work with a "pressing" action), but for some reason a push stroke doesn't seem as effective.
Also note that this knife is physically light weight (good for some, less good for others).
I looked at the recommendations for this knife, and some of them seem to be for Kyocera ceramic knives in general, not this specific 5" serrated knife. Do yourself a favor; if you are just purchasing a small sharp kitchen knife, try the regular blade. If you know that you want the serrations, then this knife will be for you.
 best knife ever Jun 09, 2010
This knife is so light in weight, I was amazed. It cuts meat and vegetables with ease. I hope it stays sharp the way the ads claim.
Sharpest Blade Around! Apr 17, 2010
Kyocera Revolution Series 5-1/2-Inch Santoku Knife, White
This is an absolutely wonderful kitchen aid; I don't know how I existed without it previously. I purchased it to make sushi and have found it cuts through the nori rolls like it's cutting through butter. For fruit and veggies it is a breeze. I have a friend who says she doesn't like celery because of the stringiness. When I offered her a salad with lots of celery that had finely chopped (easy to do with this knife) she was amazed and delighted at the chrunchiness without the strings. I'm looking forward to purchasing another Kyocera product.

this knife is a rock star Jan 27, 2010
I've had one of these for about a year, and just gave one as a housewarming gift. I love it. The knife is labeled on the package (but not on this website)as a tomato knife, and that's what it's best at. It has tiny serrations in the blade, and those serrations cut through tomato skins better than any other knife - where normal knives sometimes slip on the skin, this knife cuts clean through. It really makes prep work faster and more pleasant. If you want to buy the knife, there are a few things you should know...
1) Save the manufacturer's insert - the insert contains instructions and a coupon for shipping the knife back to the manufacturer for sharpening. You can't sharpen it yourself - it's a ceramic blade, and specially designed. This much being said, I've used it a few times a week for a year, and haven't noticed a dropoff in performance yet.
2) The knife is ceramic, and that means that you can't torque it or bend it - metal knives are more flexible and ceramic can break. So, if I were slicing up something really heavy duty or using my knife to pry or twist (not something I'd want to do with the expensive knife, regardless), I'd use something else.
3) The knife is small and light and looks a little like a toy; it's still sharp as heck. However, if you want to cut up larger things (like butternut squash), larger knives work better.

Excellent Apr 28, 2009
This knife is simply the best knife I've ever used for precision cuts.
I can make slices of pineapple, 1 mm thick, including the core, with this knife.
I have several other Kyocerra knives, which are also very good, but this one is just amazing.
