Shun Bob Kramer 7–Piece Block Set
- $1,499.95
- Value: $1,900.00
There are few elite knife–makers–only around 70 master bladesmiths in the country–and just one who specializes in kitchen cutlery: Bob Kramer. 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.
The elegant Shun Bob Kramer 7–piece set features the essential knives you need to create a lifetime of delicious meals, including: 3¼" paring knife, 4¾" utility knife, 7" santoku knife, 8" chef’s knife, and 10" bread knife, along with a honing steel and an easel–style bamboo storage block. Hand wash. Limited lifetime warranty. Handcrafted in Japan.
SHUN BOB KRAMER 7–PIECE BLOCK SET INCLUDES:
¼" PARING KNIFE Ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves.
4¾" UTILITY KNIFE Great for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. The utility knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife because it works well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin–skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
7" SANTOKU KNIFE Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese and this knife gets its name for the three strengths it demonstrates in the kitchen: slicing fish, cutting meat, and chopping vegetables. Plus, the sharp pointed tip is great for scoring.
8" CHEF’S KNIFE
This powerful kitchen multi–tasker is perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping large quantities of fruits, vegetables, meats, and more. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan.
10" BREAD KNIFE 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.
HONING STEEL Enables you to maintain the razor–sharp edges of your Shun Bob Kramer knives.
EASEL–STYLE BAMBOO STORAGE BLOCK Displays your elegant cutlery, keeping knives safe and secure between uses. Features 9 slots, enabling you to easily expand your collection.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL Each knife is painstakingly crafted by 150 expert artisans to achieve the precise heft, balance, and shape of Bob Kramer’s original design.
RAZOR–SHARP, LASTING EDGES The 3mm steel blade is composed of an SG2 core that’s hardened to a 64–66 Rockwell. All the elements in this exotic Japanese powdered steel are evenly blended, eliminating weak spots or imperfections. Core is clad with true pattern–welded nickel and Damascus steel for an exceedingly sharp, smooth, and lasting edge.
BEAUTIFUL DAMASCUS PATTERN Pattern–welded blade features an elegant, waved pattern that’s unique to each knife. In addition to its beauty, the Damascus steel protects and supports the extremely hard cutting core and helps the blade glide through food more smoothly.
ERGONOMIC PAKKAWOOD HANDLE Gently rounded and richly grained red and black handles are crafted in Bob’s signature contoured shape, which mirrors the curve of the palm for a wonderfully natural hand feel. Made of moisture–resistant PakkaWood®–a fused blend of hardwood veneers and phenolic resin.
