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.

You'll find many daily uses for this Chroma 6-1/4-inch Japanese-style vegetable knife, from slicing fruit and carrots to chopping onion and mincing herbs. Like a chef's knife, the wide blade allows you to scoop up your cuttings with ease. The knife feels exceptionally well-balanced and stays comfortable during long bouts of food preparation. After use, Chroma Type 301 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 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

This review is from: Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 6 1/4 inch Japanese Veggie knife (Kitchen)

I purchased this knife to add to my set of chroma type 301 knives. I was already sold on this line after my first purchase of the 10" chef knife. I love the angle of this knife, It adds comfort due to the upwardly inclined handle and allows you to chop quite quickly. It is well worth the price and I will continue to purchase the rest of the set. Super quality tool.
