Summary: 5 Stars

Lighter than a Wusthof or Henckels German style chef's knife, this is a joy to hold. It may look funny to some, but its function cannot be denied. It's not as light as my Shun, and not as sharp right out of the box, but it doesn't feel as delicate either- I'm not afraid to hack away at bones or other tough material.

A little work on the whetstone and I easily got it as sharp as my Shuns. Similar to the Shuns, it holds its edge very well (as long as you hone it frequently).

I don't know what people are talking about when they say the knife slips when gripped with wet hands. I've used it with wet hands, and as long as I grip it properly (around the "pearl") I'm fine. Besides, if you're that worried about it, wipe your hand already!

All in all, a good value.

Description of Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 10 Inch Chef Knife P01

An ergonomic handle designed by F.A. Porsche. A metal "pearl" that clearly demarcates the end of the handle for better control when cutting. A seamless perfection and hygienic transition from blade to handle. A special grinding method is used, so the knife stays sharp longer and is easier to sharpen. That it is beloved by famous gourmet chefs. The handle of the Type 301 by F.A. Porsche is constructed of 18/10 stainless steel, and the blade is made of high-quality Japanese 301 steel. The blade of each knife is carefully sharpened by the hand of a master. Whether your interests are primarily in hobby or professional cooking, we have the right knife to suit your needs. A number of well-known professional gourmet chefs use Chroma knives in their kitchens. Take the time to look through our collections on line, and we are confident you will find our knives a welcome addition to your kitchen as well. Our knives are manufactured in the best factories and are made of the finest and strongest modern high-grade steel. Knives by Chroma Cutlery are extremely sharp and hold their edge for a very long time. This means you can spend more time enjoying your food and less time sharpening a dull knife. Chroma is famous in the world of professional chefs for their outstanding quality. Each knife line was carefully manufactured by experienced craftsmen or factories, designed by the world's best designers Conran, Porsche or others. Chroma guarantees any stainless steel product that it sells to be free from defect in material, construction or workmanship for the life of the product under normal use and following the care instructions.
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 J?rg W?rther, 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 10-inch chef's knife is the all-purpose workhorse for chopping, mincing, dicing, and slicing. At first, the handle may seem small in comparison to the large blade. However, 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
