5 out of 5 stars Our favorite wedding gift   November 10, 2008
Laurie A. Lombardi
Recently married, this w one of our gifts, and I was a hard convert. A loyal Cutco owner I have high standards, but my Cutco chef's knife had developed a notch after about ten years of heavy use and it was time to replace it. br / br /This looked like a gimmic, but it is as functional as attractive, meeting the high expectations set by its japanese steel rating, and unusual design. Very hygenic (no nooks and crannies to catch food) and very comfortable in the prime cutting position, it rocks easily, and above all, cuts like any high-end knife should, extremely smoothly. br / br /A very impressive knife, that goes beyond its conversation piece looks and meets on the surprisingly consistently high F.A.Porsche design standard.

The Chroma Chef's Knife I recently purchased had a glaring flaw near the tip of the blade. There was a noticeable gap where the edge had been ground in a little too far. I had to spend 2 hours on a wet stone the repair the blade. That's a little excessive for a brand new knife.


5 out of 5 stars The Best Knife Ever!!!   January 10, 2007

I cook often and this is the absolute BEST KNIFE I have ever used. I do have that other "famous maker" German knives set, but discovered that Chroma knives are FAR SUPERIOR!!! br / br /They cut trhough everything like butter, but the best part is ERGONOMICS. They truly mold to your palm and are extremely comfortable for all tasks: chopping, slicing, mincing, dicing. Try one - and you'll understand. br / br /Happy cooking!

I had an opportunity to use this knife in a recent cooking class and was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be "just another pretty face." And it is a gorgeous knife, but, more importantly, it is incredibly well-balanced and feels great in your hand. br / br /I gave it 4 stars because I am, personally, still partial to those heavy, traditional German knives from the likes of Wusthof and Henkel. However, this one is well worth the money. It would also make a very impressive gift.
