At first, my cuts weren&#8217;t straight or consistent. I quickly saw that using a single-bevel knife <em>is different<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t cry when chopping onions! I know this happens to most cooks, but I often need to regroup after chopping onions, especially if my knife isn&#8217;t recently sharpened. I used the slicing knife on a red onion and a utility knife on a white onion without tears.<\/li>\n<li>Chopping tomatoes has never been easier. My husband and I peeled, de-seeded, thinly sliced, and diced tomatoes with ease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On top of these bullet points, the knives truly are balanced. <a href=\"http:\/\/steamykitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kamikoto-knives-review-8.jpg\">This picture on Steamy Kitchen depicts it perfectly<\/a>. And while I do enjoy a knife that has some heft behind it (and a hefty coffee mug, too, but that&#8217;s for another review), the lightweight Kamikoto knives were still easy to handle. They look nice, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4217 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saucydipper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kamikoto-knives-500x438.jpg\" alt=\"kamikoto knife review\" width=\"500\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saucydipper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kamikoto-knives-500x438.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.saucydipper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kamikoto-knives-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.saucydipper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kamikoto-knives-768x672.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At $1295, there&#8217;s no doubt that purchasing Kamikoto knives is an investment.
