Nat W, 2018 : Full time Chef here.
"Added this piece to my knife roll and am very pleased. Very balanced and functional. The handle adds enough weight to make the knife work for you. I initially thought the "Pearl" near the bolster would get annoying, but it feels natural. This knife arrives sharp and is a pleasure to use for hours at a time. Quality is on par with knives twice the cost".
Chroma France : commentaire intéressant car il décrit le manche, "qui a assez de poids pour faire le travail tout seul". Les professionnels comprendront ce qu'il veut dire par là. Mentionne la perle tactile qui devient naturelle avec le temps.
Bullman Z, 2015 :
"Very misunderstood knife thats actually one of the best ever if sharpened properly. Own about every brand of Japanese knife out there and always come back to this brand as my daily driver".CF : un couteau incompris, l'un des meilleurs si aiguisé correctement. Bien vu ! L'utilisateur possède de nombreux couteaux japonais mais revient toujours sur celui-là pour les travaux quotidiens.
Sourcehound, 2015 : The King of Knives is Dead, Long Live the Chroma! "The Chroma knife is off the charts good. Perfect - no learning curve and so so sharp. This knife looks incredible and is very, very sharp. The balance is absolutely perfect. As sharp as Japanese knives that cost twice as much. I am in love."
CF : aussi tranchant que les Japonais mais deux fois moins cher. On adore le "I am in love". Tomber amoureux de son couteau, c'est aimer son métier.
Joseph A. Durante III, 2015 : This knife is like cutting with a laser!! An outstanding Knife. Beautiful, nice weight, well balanced and sharp as a laser!! Be sure to read the specs on it so you don't damage it. You should never use it again a steel and you'll want to get the proper corresponding ceramic stone to maintain it. I've worked 4/5 star kitchens for over 30 years and these knives are my favorites. Bar none!
CF : travaille depuis 30 ans dans la restauration et ce couteau est devenu son favori.
Dionysos, 2015 : I hold the knife that from 2004 treats even today
I hold the knife that from 2004 treats even today 2015! 11 years of hard work.I f I have paid hundreds of dollars for Japanese or German knives, and having a casket over 2000 dollars is my first choice! To say that he did not ever hard callus on the hands as have many Those who have GLOBAL. As a professional chef I guarantee you that you will not regret it ever! I'm sure I will buy again a small set of them knives .. but I'm afraid I have still much to cut the veterans in my casket. CF : met l'accent sur l'absence de callosités contrairement à ce qui arrive avec les couteaux Global au fil du temps. Son couteau est en usage depuis 11 ans sans interruption. Payé des centaines de dollars pour des couteaux allemands et japonais mais Type 301 est son premier choix.
Midknight : "Amazing quality. Stunning knife". Stunning = époustouflant Critique positive concernant Type 301 HM (martelé) : "not have to pull the slice off with your fingers (risky with a sharp knife) you have to have a blade that has some texture above the edge. Most manufacturers do this by grinding hollow depressions above the edge, but I really prefer the Chroma's raised bumps, which are far more effective, especially with frozen meat (I used it to slice partially frozen chicken breasts)".
CF : l'acheteur met l'accent sur le fait que la texture martelée apporte praticité et sécurité (pas besoin d'enlever les restes qui ne restent pas accrochés), au contraire des alvéoles qui ne servent pas à grand chose.
David Z, 2016 : "Can't rave enough about how great this knife is"
CF : rave = excitant, élogieux, dithyrambique. On a déjà employé tous les superlatifs au sujet du couteau Porsche.
Eric, 2013: Best professional chef knife
I bought my chroma two years ago, I work in a very high pace kitchen, and my knife is still a razor. I love this knfe because it stays sharp, sharper then my shuns. It is also as a good weight to it. I have wustoff and henckles and this knife outperforms them by a long shot. It has a great feel to it as well. Not a flimsy or light weight Asian knife you wed to worry about breaking either. Best knife for your buck hands down CF : beaucoup plus tranchant que les couteaux Shun, cela le test en Hollande l'a vérifié. Maints acheteurs le confirment.Ce qui nous intéresse chez Eric c'est que l'internaute ne note pas immédiatement mais se prend deux ans pour vérifier que cela tient la route. Voilà un comportement très responsable. Combien de produits seraient encore bien notés après les deux ans sur les sites comme Amazon ?
ajandsarah en 2013 : have had this knife for a year but held off on reviewing because I couldn't love it - the factory edge was terrible. However, I just sharpened the knives - huge difference, and I'm now comfortable giving this a 5-star rating. Purchase a whetstone with the knife (sharpening is fast, easy, and something you'll want to do fairly often if you cook much anyway).
PROS:
- beautiful, minimalist design
- hygienic, easy to clean
- amazing balance in hand
- great for teaching
(while instructing cooking class students how to properly use a chef's knife, I found that the guide "pearls" really helped them learn how to correctly pinch grip)
CF : l'utilisateur semble être tombé sur un mauvais aiguisage-usine. Mais dès l'affûtage sur une pierre, la chose est rentrée dans l'ordre. Ceci on apprécie énormément. Le client aurait pu mal noter mais sachant l'erreur humaine, il s'est posé la bonne question. Sharpening is easy but necessary ! Ajandsarah rajoute que la perle tactile lui sert beaucoup lorsqu'elle apprend à ses élèves comment tenir un couteau sans se couper.
Law, 2008 : it rocks(ça déchire), and above all, cuts like any high-end knife should, extremely smoothly. A very impressive knife, that goes beyond its conversation piece looks and meets on the surprisingly consistently high F.A.Porsche design standard.
CF : met l'accent sur le fait qu'on n'en attend pas moins du standing F.A. Porsche.
Alex G, 2007 : The best knife ever "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!!! They cut through 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".
CF : largement supérieur aux couteaux allemands. Le made in Solingen n'était déjà plus ce qu'il était en 2007.
Amazon Customer : Best Expensive Knife You'll Ever Purchase
Beautiful packaging--the edges of the box are beveled! This is by far one of the most beautiful knives I've ever used. It's hefty yet elegant, and fits right in your hand. Super sharp and precise. The stand-alone balancing feature is the most amazing part of this knife. I plan on purchasing the entire set in the future.
CF : doublement emballé au propre et au figuré. Par l'élégance du couteau et même son packaging (il note un détail auquel peu ont jusqu'à présent prêté attention : les coffrets bois des couteaux Type 301 sont même, souci du détail, biseautés !)
C'est bientôt Noël justement, pensez à nos coffrets, c'est un argumentaire de poids pour offrir !
