Description

Designed by ABS-certified Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer, the first Master Bladesmith to specialize in kitchen cutlery
East-meets-West design combines the aesthetics of Japanese-style knives with the performance of a Western-style blade shape and grind for edges that are extremely sharp and easy to maintain
Each blade is forged from a core of FC61 steel and clad in 100 layers of nickel and stainless Damascus to take and hold a razor-sharp, yet easy-to-care-for edge
Mirror-polished blades feature an etched ladder Damascus pattern designed by Bob Kramer
Fine-carbide distribution results in a blade that holds an incredibly sharp angle
Ice hardening to 61 Rockwell improves the microstructure of the steel for improved cutting performance, corrosion resistance and increased durability
D-shaped Japanese-style handles in charcoal pakkawood provide a secure grip and excellent balance
Each handle features a decorative center pin handcrafted in Bob Kramer’s workshop
Each knife draws on Seki City, Japan’s wealth of knife-making experience and undergoes a rigorous 42-day manufacturing process that involves 45 artisans and 100 distinct steps
