011 - Kom-Kom "Decoration knife" is a five and a half inch wave bladed knife with a yellow plastic handle.
With a distinctive wave shaped blade, the Kom-Kom 011 decoration knife can be used for creating beautiful zig-zag and swirl shaped patterns in vegetables, fruit and desserts. Click on the video link to see how it can be used with the wave peeler to create interesting displays.
The Kom-Kom 011 is the largest of the three Kiwi & Kom-Kom wave knives and so it is well suited for working with larger fruit and vegetables.
The blade is made from Japanese high carbon stainless steel (SUS420J2), which has been hardened and tempered for optimal sharpness. The wave shaped blade also has a razor sharp scalloped cutting edge. The handle is made from a hygienic and durable yellow polypropylene plastic.
As well as cutting with a zig-zag shape the knife can also create interesting wave patterns by rotating the object being cut. See the diagram for more detail.
We find that this knife is perfect for making crinkle cut chips and also great shaped carrot sticks, Jamie Oliver slices apples to put in to burgers with his. What will you do with yours?
Keep the blade away from strong acids or alkalis such as fish sauce or vinegar.
Do not use wire wool to clean as it may damage the blade. Wash with a soft sponge and dry immediately.
Avoid putting wooden handled knives in a dishwasher as the high temperature and extended period in water will shrink and dry the wood and will ultimately ruin the knife.
This knife is made with a Japanese high carbon martensitic stainless steel alloy(SUS420J2) which has the benefit of being harder and therefore sharper than many other stainless steels but the trade-off is that they are more prone to staining.
If your knife has a wooden handle, it is recommended to oil the handle occasionally with a food grade oil. The choice of oil is a personal preference however groundnut and rapeseed oil appear to be popular but avoid olive oil as this can go rancid quite quickly. This will help maintain the wood and keep your knife looking like new. Be very careful while doing this to avoid cutting yourself.
