Dumb question: Can you sharpen those knives the same way you sharpen our other ones? I keep thinking that the green will come off.
 
The Santoku.....when I called HO for a product adjustment, I asked her if I could sharpen it with our hone. She said she didnt know & no one ever mentioned it before. So she put me on hold to get an answer, but didnt get one, but I've got another on the way...:cool:

Its on the blade about in the middle it looks almost like somepne took something sharp to it
 
cute idea, but I don't see the color thing lasting. However, I do like the tomato knife, just would have been nice in a "normal" knife color.
I would ask for a new one, what if someone at a show takes a look at it and decides they don't want it b/c the color comes off so easy? I'd go for a new one
 
Remember that honing our forged cutlery does not sharpen the blade. It simply re-aligns the blade. I am guessing that it won't work for the green knives, since they are most likely not at the same blade degree/shape...which is why they said not to hone any of our other PC knives with the honing tool.
 
I like the idea of the color- as colors are in for kitchen wear but maybe next time just the handle with color and not the blade where it can chip! I wonder how long they will last?

I completely agree - people love the colored handle paring knives, and I'd rather see that in the larger knives than the colored blades.
 
When I saw the knives, I thought they were a joke but since, I love them! I use them ALL the time with no problems!
 
I love mine too. Was really amazed at how the Santoku worked and how sharp it was.
 
I dont' hve any scratches in mine..... that I know of.. I have used them a couple of times!
 
I just read on "The Anatomy of a Knife" (CC -> Download Ctr -> Products & Recipes -> The Anatomy of a Knife) that you can hone the Color coated Santoku knife with our forged honing tool!!

Thanks for the info Jenn....;)
 
I LOVE these knives. I am not crazy about green, but still use them more often than my forged knives. I love thinking about the possibility of a PINK santoku next year for HWC!! Wouldn't that be awesome??

That would be soooooooo cool!!!:D
 
I could deal with them if the darn blade wasn't colored!! I can do a handle and case..... yeah, I haven't bought one yet...and not sure if I will or not!
 
The pink Santoku knife would be a HUGE seller! I hope that they do that for HWC next year. I am going to write that somewhere so I remember to put that on the idea poster at conference.
 
I personally would buy 3 or 4 pink santokus!!
 
Gillian I love the idea of a pink santoku for HWC next year!!! That would be a great seller! I have had some people love these knives for the quality and price and others hate them purely on the color... never can please everyone! :)
 
Product suggestion...send them in!
 
The green santoku is okay. I prefer a heftier knife. I don't really care for the tomato knife. I have had a non-PC tomato knife for several years, and I like it better. One of the few times I don't pick PC over everyone else.
 
I really like my knife, couldn't believe how much smaller and lighter it is then the other Santoku. It's now my veggie knife!
 
I dont' like the green Santoku much. The tomato knife is nice, but I'd prefer a forged one.

These knives are just too light for me.
