Certified as a Master Bladesmith by the American Bladesmith Society, Bob Kramer is one of the only Master Bladesmiths in the world specializing in kitchen cutlery. Cook’s Illustrated once wrote: “The Kramer knife outperformed every knife we’ve ever rated.” Put simply, Kramer is King of the Kitchen Knife. Saveur dubbed Bob “The Master of the Blade.”
Enthusiasts will wait up to three years for one of his handmade originals, but we collaborated with Bob and Shun to bring you this exclusive new collection. Each knife is an exactingly crafted replica of a Kramer original, from the patterned Damascus–steel blades to the natural feel of the rounded PakkaWood® handles and the detailed center pins.
Each knife is meticulously crafted by 150 expert artisans to achieve the precise heft, balance, and shape of Bob Kramer’s original design. The 3mm steel blades are composed of an SG2 core (64–66 Rockwell) clad with true pattern–welded nickel and Damascus stainless steel for beautiful, razor–sharp blades and lasting edges.
Gently rounded and richly grained red and black PakkaWood handles are crafted in Bob’s signature contoured shape, which mirrors the curve of the palm for a wonderfully natural hand feel.
Whether your bread is delicately tender or wonderfully crusty, the Shun Bob Kramer bread knife, with its wide, low–frequency serrations, is up to the task. Gently saw back and forth to cut perfect slices with no unsightly rips or tears. 10" blade. Hand wash. Limited lifetime warranty. Handcrafted in Japan.
