Bob Kramer is one of the few Master Bladesmiths in the world specializing in kitchen cutlery
Professional chefs wait years for a Kramer original
We worked with the master himself and renowned knife maker Zwilling J.A. Henckels for this exquisite line of carbon steel knives made by artisans in Seki City, the Japanese knife-making capital since the 13th century
Now home chefs can experience the unrivaled performance of a Kramer original
Made using a carbon-steel formulation called 52100 for remarkable strength and unmatched edge retention
Carbon steel is the first metal formulated to hold the razor-sharp, consistent edge required by modern chefs
Heat-treated to a hardness of 61 Rockwell, so it comes sharp, stays sharp and is easy to maintain
Blade is sharpened to 15 on each side of the 50/50 edge with the traditional three-step hand-honed edge
Features a brass bolster for support
Comfortable micarta handle mirrors the shape of your palm
The full tang of the blade is tapered to Bobs precise specifications
Triple-riveted for strength and control
Signature brass decorative center pin is handcrafted by Bob himself
Over time the blade will develop the beautiful blue-gray patina prized by professional chefs as the signature of a favorite knife. This heirloom-quality knife is easy to care forjust keep it clean and dry for a lifetime of unparalleled performance
