This is my second knife Chroma Type 301, the previous was the "Chef 20cm".
Wire side of the blade, nothing changes, extraordinary cuts whose longevity is correct. The point seems to be less sensitive to small blows the head. Excellent sharpness should know maintain.
Beyond the perfect cut the knife shown a baffling maneuverability, it easily allows the linking small cutouts or notches rotating about the object. It really is less tiring than the 20cm head for smaller jobs.
Sharpening: no secret, such a wire will interact regularly failing to completely ruin his knife. I use a kit De Buyer Furi Knife Sharpener 4290 Füri very easy to use, thus correcting the thread (1 / year) and two combs sharpening itself. This is the only way I've found to not be forced to go through the traditional stone Chroma Type 301 whetstone # P11- 800 far more lengthy and complex to master.
In short, buying immediately think for sharpening and banish all ordinary stones, guns and other ceramic rollers.
