![]() | Type 301 Knives - Design by F.A. Porsche Type 301 - Design by Porsche - this knife range is the ultimate fusion of Japanese and German qualities, two nations that are renowned for their kitchen knives. The tapering handle design allows each Type 301 knife to stand 'upright' on the heel of the blade and the seamless transition from blade to handle makes these Porsche designed knives hygienic, with no food traps. A metal 'pearl' clearly demarcates the end of the handle, for better control when cutting. |
![]() | Haiku Original Japanese Knives Haiku - the Japanese knife from Chroma with the honoki-wood handle. These knives are the preferred choice in culinary competitions due to their lightness, symmetry and the comfort of the wooden handle. A bamboo peg ("mekugi") is inserted from the side into every Haiku knife where the tang and handle are joined for added stability. Traditional sword smiths in Japan use this time-tested technique when crafting swords like those once used by the samurai of medieval Japan. |
