Master Knife Skills with Bob Kramer

Reserve your spot for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn fundamental knife skills from the foremost kitchen knife-maker, Bob Kramer. Mr. Kramer is the only chef in the U.S. certified as a Master Bladesmith by the American Bladesmith Society, and he is the only Master Bladesmith in the world specializing in kitchen cutlery. Cooks Illustrated once wrote: “The Kramer knife outperformed every knife we’ve ever rated.” Put simply -- Kramer is King of the Kitchen Knife.

Connoisseurs wait years for one of Bob Kramer’s originals, but we’ve partnered with him to create an exquisite line of artisan knives available only at Sur La Table. Don’t miss your chance to join the master himself as he shares his knowledge of cutlery by demonstrating cuts, sharpening techniques, and explains at length why our new Bob Kramer Carbon Collection will make kitchen prep a joy.

Handcrafted by artisans in Seki City, Japan, the Bob Kramer Carbon Collection is as close to a Kramer original as one can get—with unrivaled performance that requires very little care. The blades are made from a type of straight carbon steel called 52100, the exact same steel Bob himself uses in his own shop. The bolsters are brass and the handles are African Blackwood, just like a Kramer original. Even the most specific details are identical down to the taper of the tang and the center decorative pin. In fact, the pin in each knife is made by Bob himself.

Not only will you leave with invaluable knowledge on knives, but you’ll also receive a copy of Sur La Table's classic, Knives Cooks Love, autographed by Bob Kramer and a 10% off coupon to use in the store.
