Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 5 3 4 inch Boning knife
Product 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. The Chroma Type 301 boning knife features a sharp, thin 5-3/4-inch blade that efficiently bones meat and poultry. A "fin" extending below the meeting of the blade and handle gives the hand extra control for working the blade in and around bones. Weighty and well-balanced, this knife also slices meat beautifully 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 Product Description An ergonomic handle designed by F.A. Porsche.

Reader Reviews A few months ago I took a "Knife Skills" class at a local culinary shop. Everyone who handled the chef's knife was shocked and amazed at its comfort since its design is so unconventional. As well, from a viewpoint of decore, they aren't my style at all (which turned me off initially), but once I got it in my hand I, too, was amazed. I kinda hogged the knife when I could, and discovered that my hand didn't get fatigued as quickly as with the other knives (this was a 2.5 hr class!). I promptly bought the large chef's and paring knives. The shop didn't have this 5-3/4" knife; so, of course, Amazon did! I'm thrilled with these knives not just because of their precision, but also because of their comfort. I would recommend that you locate one of these knives to "test drive" first before buying something you've not handled. As well, I took a tip from Emeril, and bought only the style knives I know I use regularly, as opposed to buying an entire block(ed) set. So, now I own these 3 Chromas, and am wielding them like a pro! Thanx, Chroma Cutlery and Mr. Porsche for designing a beautiful and masterly functional knife.
