Porsche Design Kitchen Knives
My personal kitchen knives
The most important tool in the kitchen is a good set of knives. There are many implements and gadgets for cooking that one can go cheap on, but knives are never one of them. I learned that from Anthony Bourdain.
My personal set is the Porsche Design Type 301 knives by Chroma. Don't let the looks fool you, they feel great in the hand! Also, being stainless steel, they have a perfect weight to them that will give you a lot of confidence when cutting.
Most red-blooded men of the kitchen would be sold on the fact that these knives were designed by the same man who designed the Porsche 911 sportscar, Ferdinand A. Porsche, with input from famed Austrian chef Jorg Worther. I, however, am not impressed by such frivolities.
I was sold on this particular set of knives because of their use by another great man of the kitchen: Hannibal Lecter.
Hannibal, about to do something creatively savage...
Mads Mikkelsen, playing the aforementioned cannibal, psychiatrist, and all-round excellent cook; used a set of Type 301 knives in scenes of meal preparation and murder for the 2013 television series "Hannibal". What more of an endorsement do you need?
