Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Cutting with a Chroma Type 301 knife is like driving a Porsche, and for good reason. Designed by Ferdinand A. Porsche (the designer of the Porsche 911) with input from renowned Austrian chef Jörg Wörther, Chroma Type 301 cutlery excels in both performance and looks. Sleek and sexy, each knife looks like one seamless piece, but the blade and handle are actually different types of steel. The blade is crafted of superfine Japanese 301 steel and hand-sharpened into an acutely sharp angle for precision cutting. The handle is made of durable 18/10 stainless steel, triangular in profile and flat-topped for leverage, a totally unique and ergonomic design. Announcing the transition spot between handle and blade is a metal "pearl" that lets the fingers know their position, in place of a bolster. The comfort and control, not to mention the spectacular visual appeal, of a Chroma Type 301 knife have made ardent converts of many chefs worldwide.

This Chroma Type 301 paring knife features a sharply pointed 3-1/4-inch blade, ideal for peeling fruit, sculpting veggie garnishes, and removing blemishes from potatoes, pears, and avocadoes. Weighty for its size and well-balanced, this knife comes in handy for all sorts of kitchen uses, and will bring you years of pleasure. After use, Chroma knives should be immediately washed and dried by hand, and placed in a storage block for safekeeping. To sharpen, use only a Chroma original 301 ceramic whetstone, never a sharpening steel which can damage the fine blades. Chroma Type 301 knives make exceptional gifts and are covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect - almost, June 19, 2009

The Porsche Chroma 301 knives are amazing. I have a paring knife and a chef's knife, and they are both the best knives in my kitchen. They're amazingly sharp and perfectly balanced. I do have to warn you, though, that the 3.25" paring knife has a hazardous tendency to ROLL on the counter. If you don't deliberately place it blade-down, it will roll so that it is blade-up, and that is certainly dangerous, if you value your fingers.

This knife is small. It was surprising how small it was compared to how it appeared in the pictures.

This knife is expensive.

This knife is made in China.

Why buy it? It's beautiful! I doubt I will ever cut anything with it. But it came up in a Gold Box deal and I couldn't resist.

It comes packaged in a nice box that is also quite appealing (like Apple iPods).

Overall, I'm quite happy with this purchase.
