KRAMER by ZWILLING Euroline Collaboration: Co-designed with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer, this knife reflects his exacting standards for balance, utility, and blade geometry, resulting in a professional-grade tool built for demanding commercial kitchen use.
SG2 Micro-Carbide Powder Steel Blade: The 7.87-inch blade is forged from premium SG2 super steel, delivering scalpel-like sharpness, superior edge retention, and the ability to withstand repeated sharpening over its lifespan.
CRYODUR Ice-Hardened Construction: The blade undergoes ZWILLING's ice-hardening process, achieving 63 HRC hardness for exceptional durability and long-lasting performance in high-volume prep environments.
101-Layer Chevron Damascus Pattern: The SG2 core is protected by a stunning 101-layer Chevron Damascus cladding, providing both structural resilience and a visually distinctive finish that signals craftsmanship.
Hand-Finished Fine Edge: Finished by skilled Japanese artisans using a traditional 3-step process, the blade is honed to a precise, razor-sharp fine edge at 15 degrees per side for clean, effortless cutting through a wide range of ingredients.
Extra-Wide Blade Profile: Bob Kramer's broad blade design maximizes knuckle clearance for larger hands and facilitates easy transport of chopped food, making it ideal for high-speed prep work on large produce and bulk cuts.
Triple-Riveted Black Linen Micarta Handle: The ergonomic, full-tang handle is constructed from black linen Micarta, resistant to heat, cold, and moisture, and triple-riveted for lasting durability. Features the signature Bob Kramer mosaic pin for quick visual identification.
Bolsterless Heel Design: The absence of a bolster at the heel allows for full use of the entire blade length and simplifies sharpening, reducing maintenance time in busy commercial operations.
Professional Dimensions: At 13.19 inches overall length with a 5.12-inch handle, this knife strikes an ideal balance between reach and control, suited for professional chefs handling extended prep sessions.
