Product Description Chroma type 301: 5" Tomato Knife P10 A tomato knife is a small knife with a serrated blade. Tomato knives are ideal
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 Joerg Woerther, 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 Type 301 tomato knife features a serrated five-inch blade that curves upward to a forked tip. The extra-sharp serrations are perfectly designed to bite into firm tomato skin and slice uniformly through the soft flesh. Slices can be picked up with the forked tip and placed on a plate or sandwich. Weighty for its size and well-balanced, this knife also works well for dicing tomatoes and peppers when making fresh salsa. Anyone who loves ripe homegrown tomatoes will relish this knife. After use, Chroma knives should be immediately washed and dried by hand, and placed in a storage block for safekeeping. Chroma serrated knives must be professionally sharpened. Chroma Type 301 knives make exceptional gifts and are covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
