Kramer Collection – Damascus knives from Zwilling and Bob Kramer

Kramer by Zwilling: Knives with a history of craftsmanship

The Kramer series was created in collaboration between Zwilling and the American blade smithmeister Bob Kramer. The goal was to translate the qualities of his hand-forged knives – balance, thoughtfully designed blade curves, and sharpness – into a series that you can use regularly in everyday kitchen life. The collection comprises two lines: Euro Stainless and Meiji.

Euro Stainless: SG2 steel in a Damascus pattern

The knives in the Euro Stainless line belong to KRAMER by ZWILLING EUROLINE Stainless Steel Damascus Collection. Its blades are made of SG2 microcarbide powder steel, surrounded by a 100-layer chevron Damascus structure. The CRYODUR ice-hardening process ensures a very fine edge that cuts cleanly even with thin pieces. The shape of the blades is based on Bob Kramer's classic chef's knife with a distinctly curved edge that facilitates the mincing of herbs and vegetables.

Meiji: the second line of the series

The Meiji line expands the series with its own distinct design language. Here you'll find, among other things, chef's knives in 16, 20, and 26 cm, a Santoku knife, a carving knife, and a 26 cm bread knife. This allows you to handle larger tasks, such as carving roasts or loaves of bread, with the same series.
