Cook's Illustrated once wrote: “The Kramer knife outperformed every knife we’ve ever rated.” Put simply, Kramer is King of the Kitchen Knife. The chef's knife is the perfect kitchen workhorse, ideal for chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing meats and vegetables. Handcrafted by expert artisans in the Japanese knife-making center, Seki City, this all-purpose knife was created in a workshop specially constructed for this unique collection and designed to be used for years and then handed down as an heirloom piece. AN OBSESSIVE DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE Bob Kramer has spent nearly two decades reducing the craft of knife making to its essence, creating his original artisan knives on his own from start to finish in his small studio. There, he forges the best raw materials and a relentless pursuit of perfection into some of the most beautiful and sought-after cutlery in the culinary world. NEVER BEFORE AVAILABLE Now—for the first time ever—home chefs can experience the same unrivaled performance of a Bob Kramer original. Featuring the precise quality of carbon steel that Bob chooses for his custom artisan knives, these knives are built for remarkable strength and unmatched edge retention. The addition of the brass bolsters and handsome African blackwood handles shows that no detail has been overlooked. THE PROS KNOW Professional chefs know how important using the right knife is and often wait years to get their hands on one of Bob's legendary handcrafted creations. For this collection, Sur La Table worked with the master himself and renowned German knife maker Zwilling J.A. Henckels to create an exquisite line of artisan knives designed by Bob and crafted to his exacting specifications. WHAT IS CARBON STEEL? The first metal formulated to hold the razor-sharp, consistent edge required by the modern culinary arts, carbon steel has a rich 3,000-year heritage and is still a favorite of enthusiasts and professionals for its perfect performance, amazing edge retention and ease of sharpening. The extremely fine grain structure of 52100 carbon steel allows for maximum sharpness. Shop all Bob Kramer Carbon Steel » Read The New York Times article here.
