Description

The Bob Kramer Stainless Damascus Slicing Knife is ideal for slicing cook meats and roasts. The long, slender blade allows for exceptionally smooth slicing. Zwilling is proud to partner with “The Master of the Blade” Bob Kramer. Bob Kramer Stainless Damascus knives use traditional craftsmanship by skilled Japanese artisans. The blade features a super-premium steel with a fine grain structure SG2 core for an ultimate sharp edge. The core is clad on each side with 50 alternating layers of nickel and Damascus stainless steel making this a 101-layer blade with a deep-etched chevron pattern. The blades are hand finished using a traditional honbazuke honing technique and sharpened twice on whetstones with custom grits, followed by mirror polishing on a leather wheel. The blade is then cryogenically hardened, rapidly cooled, and then tempered twice to maximize durability with a blade angle honed to 9 to 12° on each side. The full tang tapered, triple-riveted, linen micarta handle is able to withstand extreme temperatures while resisting wear after use. Features a signature center pin handcrafted by Bob himself. Made in Seki City, Japan with a lifetime warranty.
