Chroma Type 301 F.A. Porsche Oyster Knife

Yes, the Chroma Type 301 is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the edge retention and finish of the Japanese 301 steel over the long term, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

The metal pearl acts as a tactile sensory guide, helping you maintain a secure grip and precise control while prying open shells. It prevents your hand from slipping toward the blade, which is essential when working with slippery, wet oysters.

This knife features a forged, rigid blade made from high-quality Japanese 301 steel. This construction provides the necessary leverage and strength required to pop open tough oyster hinges without the blade bending or snapping.

The 301 steel is designed to be easy to resharpen while maintaining a razor-sharp edge for an extended period. You can maintain the edge using a standard whetstone or a high-quality pull-through sharpener.

Absolutely. Because there is no gap or seam between the blade and the handle, there is nowhere for food particles, bacteria, or oyster brine to accumulate. It is significantly easier to clean and sanitize than knives with traditional riveted handles.
