Limited Edition Carbon 8″ Kramer by Zwilling Chef’s Knife #130/250

This is one of the serval knives gifted to Bob from Zwilling. This knife has never been used and comes with the original box and signed leaflet. Only 250 knives were made making this knife extremely rare. This knife is number 130 out of 250. The description below is from the leaflet. We hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

ZWILLING is proud to partner with “The Master of the Blade” (Saveur Magazine) Bob Kramer. Together we design and produce knives of exceptional authenticity, sharpness, and beauty.

This limited series consists of 250 hand-forged Damascus knives. Each knife combines the beauty and utility of Bob Kramer’s design with traditional German forging and progressive German technologies. The blade is made of the purest, high-quality, hand-forged Damascus steel.

The Limited Edition Damascus knives are handmade by one of the best blacksmiths in Germany. The knives are made of particularly pure Damascus steel, which combines two types of steel with differing carbon contents, each contributing its own specific benefits. With a hardness of 61 HR (Rockwell), this combination is extremely hard and sharp and forms the basis of the Bob Kramer Limited Edition Damascus. The Limited Edition Damascus has an extremely high and durable initial sharpness. The fire welding process produces a steel block with 160 layers, which is then forged by hand and hammered to the required thickness. With this process, each blank has its very own structure and pattern of 160 layers. This knife is truly a one-of-a-kind specimen.

Tradition meets innovation in the bolster. ZWILLING is proud to deliver the first Bob Kramer-designed true Damascus knife with a fully forged bolster. The unique SIGMAFORGE blade is precision-forged from a single piece of Damascus steel.

The handle, made of grenadille wood, is precisely mounted with rivets and the prized Bob Kramer pin. Each is finished by hand to ensure perfect comfort and control.

Congratulations on your heirloom purchase.

• This blade is made from steel similar to a fine Japanese sword. It needs to be kept clean and dry or surface corrosion could occur.
