3. Introducing the Knife of the Millennium.
----------------------------------------

Chef Carl LoStracco introduces his "Knife of the Millennium"

"My message to all kitchen professionals is this... Your search is over! COMFORT, SPEED, LONGEVITY… all the attributes for which we have searched are available to you today in this cutting-edge technology!"

The Premiere I is desirable for many reasons. Created by a chef for chefs, it was designed with the professional in mind. The first thing that will catch your eye is the unique handle. Cut a little higher on the blade and hollowed in just the right places to fit the grip of a professional, this handle allows the blade to move with comfort and ease. Tooled from high strength, high carbon stainless steel, this blade will hold its edge through the rigors of kitchen usage allowing you greater speed and maximum performance. Maintenance of The Premiere I requires a minimum of time and effort due to the quality of the material and design, which includes a removable handle.

The introduction of this knife is a Chef2Chef.net Exclusive!
