Incredible out-of-the-box sharpness, effortless cutting performance across various foods, spectacular Damascus visual appeal, and exceptional balance. The bolster is very balanced and creates a weightless feel in motion, reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive slicing and dicing 👍. Chefalexz. Sat Aug 15 2026

Zwilling Pro is the most user-friendly knife available on the market. The unique curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.

Chopped food can easily be transported with this impressive, broad blade. The knives are hand-finished with a traditional 3-step process by skilled Japanese artisans. Combined with the SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, the ice-hardened Cryodur blades deliver scalpel-like sharpness, stay sharper longer, and can withstand more sharpening over their lifespan. The SG2 super steel core is protected by an exceptionally beautiful 100-layer Chevron Damascus pattern, which is complemented by a stunning black linen Micarta handle and signature Bob Kramer mosaic pin.

Extremely sharp. Truly elevated my cooking style.. Marc. GA. Fri Aug 28 2026

The Global 4.7244-inch Deba knife. This single beveled knife is for right-handed users only. Perfect for breaking down and filleting fish. Also great for very thinly slicing items like daikon and ginger. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor-sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient, and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knives are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18-percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.
