mama could use a new set of these......

i swear by my perfect precision cutting, slicing, and dicing global knives, but i could use a good zoom in the right direction of knives if persuaded to use the 'chroma type 301 porsche knives'. i was once a sous-chef and i have some cooking activity under my belt. [yes, once upon time i dabbled in the catering culinary world before i made the swift decision to turn over to design]. but these puppies would make the kids diner look better than the cover of 'martha kids' magazine! grab a set of those and then toss them in the back of your 2008 Porsche Cayenne_available at fluid living in the distillery in toronto.
