Gift for my father for Christmas, he loves them!. J.m.. King George, VA. Fri Sep 11 2020

Created with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer, the Kramer by Zwilling Euroline stainless steel Damascus collection features stainless steel blades made to his exacting standards, maximizing curves, balance, and utility. Bob's design has an extremely wide blade to maximize knuckle clearance for larger hands and for cutting through large produce and piles of food. 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.

Beautiful knives and very sharp. Look forward to many years of use. Anonymous. Holden, LA. Wed May 29 2019
