Porsche knives - any user reviews?
I took some knives in to be sharpened today, and was browsing through the store's selection. Been ages since I've bought a knife, but it was fun handling them and seeing what a visceral reaction the feeling of one in one's hand can provoke.
Anyway, they carry Porsche knives, which I'd never seen before. Japanese steel, with a bizarrely shaped, horizontally oriented handle. I have to say, it felt really good in my hand!
A 6-in. chef's knife was running about 55 euros. Would love to hear from anyone who's used one -- worth it? How do they compare to Henckels (my trusty 10-in chef's knife war-horse is a Henckels)?

If it's anything like the automobiles....do the handles have to come off to sharpen it?!!

Hi Kelly,
I purchased the Porsche 10 inch chef's knife several years ago while in France. I like it and put it about on par with my Wustof and Henckels knives. And it always gets comments from first time visitors in my kitchen. Someone even jokingly asked me if I got it when I was a knife thrower in the circus. :-)

Anything designed by the Porsche Design Group is in a 911 class of its own.

I love mine. I started with their small chef. And then got a satoku. The grip never slips. It is like it sticks to the inside of your palm. The edge keeps really well. (but i am spoilt by my lovely larch wood end grain cutting board). And did you see how the balance on their edge well hadle. So cool. I keep my knife on my board!
