The Type 301 Line of Chroma Fine Cutlery Is Distinctly Beautiful and Made of Pure Stainless Steel
The Chroma family of Type 301 knives runs the full gamut. You’ll find every type of kitchen knife imaginable, from a small paring knife to a monster-size Chinese chef’s knife. Included are such standbys as carving, bread and utility knives, plus specialized knives for filleting or boning, for slicing salmon and ham, for shucking oysters and for slicing tomatoes. To get a jump start on building a phenomenal knife collection you might want to consider one of Chroma’s many knife sets. They offer a carver knife and fork set plus sets of two and three knives, in addition to a 4-steak-knife set. If you’d like a beautiful wooden knife block to complement your knives, consider a 5, 8 or 10-piece set.
The Unique and Highly Functional Chroma Knife Handle Was Designed by F.A. Porsche.
The German engineer’s better-known claim to fame was the very first Porsche 911. On this assignment Porsche worked with the Austrian celebrity-chef, Jõrg Wörther, previously named a Chef of the Decade. The handle of the Chroma features an unusual, ergonomic, one-piece design. These handles are comfortable to hold and won’t tire your hands. Plus, lacking a distinct seam between handle and blade, they’re superior hygienically.
