Putting the name Porsche on any product guarantees a certain level of quality, even if we aren't talking about sports cars. F. A. Porsche, the noted industrial designer and grandson of the founder of the Porsche line of automobiles, has created a set of kitchen knives worthy of the name. These knives are already the stuff of legend, and have been used in numerous cooking competitions.
The knives' appearance is unique: they have a double-tapered, triangular grip that fits a cook's hand better than the more traditional-style handles. The small buttons on each side of the knife add an element of control by helping cooks place their hands.
Made from Japanese 301 stainless steel for resistance to corrosion and wear, the double-tapered blades are sharpened for immediate use. Each knife comes in a fitted storage box and should last for generations.
Designed by F.A. Porsche (a noted industrial designer and grandson of the founder of Porsche automobiles), these are the same knives prominently used in cooking competitions, including the legendary Bocuse d'Or.
The 5" utility knife is for light cutting, peeling, and slicing. Thin and flexible, the 7-3/4" fillet knife is ideal for filleting fish. The 8" carving knife lets you take long, straight strokes, making it ideal for slicing vegetables or carving roasted meats. The 7-1/4" santuko is a popular Japanese-style knife for chopping, dicing, and mincing. A mainstay, the 10" chef's knife is a workhorse suitable for everything from heavy chopping to mincing herbs.
The knives are available individually or as a starter set of three that includes the essentials: a 5" utility knife, an 8" carving knife, and a 10" chef's knife.
