Kramer Carbon 2.0 knives are forged of straight carbon steel 52100, which is harder than stainless steel and prized for its exceptional edge retention and superior sharpness. Designed by master bladesmith Bob Kramer, this updated collection features a newly refined distal taper that makes each knife substantially lighter in weight while providing optimal edge geometry for improved cutting efficiency. The hand-shaped Micarta handles are remarkably durable and boast a unique "bird beak" that ensures a secure, comfortable grip. Made in Seki, Japan, this versatile chef's knife is ideal for chopping, mincing and slicing.
