Chroma Type 301 Santoku Knife

Designed by F.A. Porsche, the handle features a distinct, ergonomic shape that prioritizes comfort and grip. It also includes a signature metal 'pearl' that acts as a tactile sensory point, helping you maintain better control and awareness of your hand position during precision cutting.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the high-quality Japanese steel and the integrity of the seamless construction, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.

The seamless transition between the blade and the handle eliminates the crevices where food particles and bacteria typically accumulate. This design choice makes the knife significantly more hygienic and easier to clean thoroughly compared to traditional riveted handles.

A Santoku knife features a shorter, flatter blade with a rounded tip, making it ideal for precise slicing, dicing, and mincing. While a chef's knife is often used with a rocking motion, the Santoku is designed for efficient, downward chopping strokes.

Because this blade is crafted from high-performance Japanese steel, it requires careful maintenance to keep its edge. We recommend using a whetstone for sharpening rather than a pull-through sharpener, and avoiding cutting on hard surfaces like glass or stone to prevent dulling or chipping.
