Forged from remarkable expertise, the Kramer by ZWILLING Meiji knife series is a collaboration between ZWILLING J.A. Henckels and Bob Kramer, the first Master Bladesmith to specialize in kitchen cutlery. The potent core of FC61 fine carbide stainless steel is protected by 100 layers of nickel and stainless steel. Beneath its distinctive exterior, Kramer's distinctive etched ladder Damascus pattern provides added durability. 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.

My new knife as a fessional Chef in my restaurant

I have been using my previous zwilling chef knife for over 10 years and was looking to upgrade and treat myself. This knife did exactly that. Its both beautiful and versatile. I have longer fingers which the handle perfectly fits with its d-shape. The edge holds well with good maintenance, but not as finicky as most Japanese knifes. VERY happy with this one

The perfect Chef Knife

This knife has been the Rockstar of my collection. The large tall blade makes it perfect for processing large quantities of ingredients. The knife itself is gorgeous, both the blade and handle are very ergonomic. The spine of the blade is round to help with callous.

Treat yourself

I heard of Bob Kramer from Anthony Bourdain's (R.I.P) Raw Craft and was so amazed at his dedication to knife making. Bob's commitment to his skill is second to none and his knives go for a price point that is out of reach for most, when the are available. This knife is not only a masterpiece to work with but to look at. A must buy to make each meal memorable.

Kramer Meji Chef’s Knife

One of the best knives I’ve had. I love the handle and how it works for a left handed person. The way it sits in my hand gives me a bit more control in my cuts.

Does not disappoint!

I enjoy this knife more every time I pick it up. The balance is perfect for a pinch grip and had a beautiful edge right out of the box.

Masterclass

It’s an honor to have a Kramer knife in my collection . As a Line Cook I’ve used a range of knives and the build on this Meiji is incredible . It’s light while still being sturdy , precise while still being a bigger blade . It’s a great all around knife . I recommend this knife to anyone in the industry or someone who appreciates blades .
