[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A really beautiful knife with exceptional performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well thought out design and so comfortable to hold. I'm left handed and I've never found a knife that felt so good in my hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Arrived just in time to carve the turkey next week. Can't wait to be amazed. This knife is truly a beauty to behold. Definitely a welcome addition to the knife block.

This slicer is absolutely fantastic! It’s made out of a very tough durable FC61 steel. It’s super sharp and keeps the edge forever. It slices with clean smooth cuts. Perfectly balanced and doesn't feel huge in my hands.

If you want a special knife for those special carving occasions like your holiday roasts definitely consider investing in this beautiful knife. Designed by Bob Kramer the master knife smith you're hard pressed to find a nicer more beautiful knife. The core is made from FC61 steel which is one of the hardest steels available and then wrapped in an additional one hundred layers of stainless and nickel to create the unique damascus pattern. You will achieve the most effortless thin slices of roast with this knife not to mention using it for fajita meat slicing, cutting ribs or even special occasion cakes.

The Meiji line of Bob Kramer knives is an asian inspired look on a western knife. The edge angle and the steel are in keeping with a typical western style Kramer production knife. The detailed and asian inspired handle with angles and smoothed corners gives the feel of a traditional eastern D shaped handle. An unexpected and stunning look to this collection.

A stunning knife made as in collaboration with Zwilling and Bob Kramer - master bladesmith! Never disappoints with his quality or craftsmanship in knives, this 9" Meiji slicer is no exception. Made with 101 layer Damascus steel, thin blade, with the Friodurx2 process that keeps blades sharp, durable and corrosion and chip free. I love the pins he designs for the center of the handle - adds a beautiful touch that other knives simply do not have. The handle is smooth and comfortable - so gives a good grip while slicing!

I love the handle on the Meiji line, it is very comfortable in my hand. When Bob Kramer designed the handle, he designed it to fit perfectly in the hand, regardless if you are right-handed or left. The FC61 steel is sharp and will retain it sharpness longer due to the ice-hardeneing process. Less sharpening, more slicing!
