Thanks to an innovative, ice-hardened process, the FRIODURx2 blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The ergonomic charcoal Pakkawood handles have a complex curvature that mirrors the palm, ensuring a secure and supremely comfortable grip. Exquisite to hold and behold, the handles feature a decorative center pin handcrafted in Kramer's Washington workshop.

Great little knife!

Great knife - sharp out of the box. Solid, but lightweight. I have bigger hands but it still fits well. Would recommend !

Nimble and Quick!

This knife makes you feel like an artist - you think it, and it will do it. Beautiful AND tough, can make quick work of anything you send it's way. Fine trimming, paring, dicing, etc. The handle is a great feel in your hand and gives you the control you need regardless of your preferred grip. Also the blade, what a statement of incredible craftsmanship!

Comfortable handle, nice blade

I like the modified Japanese handle as it fits comfortably in my hand. (I prefer simpler Japanese handles to western ones.) I like the blade & it's comparable to a similarly priced, slightly larger petty knife I already have (home cook). The Damascene pattern looks nice, but isn't necessary. A more traditional pattern is just fine. Overall, I'm loving this handy, little heirloom knife.

Very Nice Knife

Worth every penny. Great look, great balance, great feel, and what an edge. Price may seem high, but like everything else, you get what you pay for and I'm not disappointed.

cool look great blade

I have been a fan of Bob Kramer cutlery for a while. This Kramer designed knife is truly unique. His take on the traditional D shaped handle really stands out in the kitchen and is very comfortable to hold. The Damascus style blade is very sharp. The FC61 steel holds and edge for a long time and is more resilient that a lot of Japanese blades. The blade length is perfect for shaping and peeling in hand.
