This is a beautiful knife. We finally decided to upgrade our lower-quality knives after several years of buying and sharpening more often than I care to say. After researching all over and comparing, we ultimately bought this knife and some others in the same line and am completely happy with it. Knife holds an edge incredibly well and is just beautiful to look at.

Never thought a great knife could make such a difference prepping every day meals, but this one makes mincing onions and other veggies seriously therapeutic. The handle is a work of art and carved perfectly for my hand. It feels custom made. I had a Miyabi, which was also beautiful, but it never quite felt right. The Kramer is comfortable using any grip, and with the sculpted curve at the heel, the pinch grip is the most effortless of any knife I've ever used.I had read a lot about how a carbon steel blade is tough to maintain, but I haven't had any issues.

For the past 25-plus years, I've been doing just fine with the 8-inch stainless chef's knife that came as part of a Henckels knife set my wife and I received as a wedding present. Then I heard about Kramer knives, and even tried one out in a local Sur la Table. Armed with that experience, and knowledge gained from a whole bunch of online research, I settled on treating myself to a Kramer 10-inch carbon steel knife. It's gorgeous, and the edge on this blade is like nothing I've ever used before. It's incredibly sharp, and has held up extremely well in my first three weeks of ownership. I'm reading up on using waterstones to sharpen the knife, and plan to buy a set soon and start practicing on some of my older knives. The Kramer doesn't need it yet, but when it does, ... MoreFor the past 25-plus years, I've been doing just fine with the 8-inch stainless chef's knife that came as part of a Henckels knife set my wife and I received as a wedding present.

The Kramer doesn't need it yet, but when it does, I want to be ready. I just can't say enough about how comfortable it is in hand, how its perfect balance makes food prep easy and fun, and how its edge impresses me every time I use the blade. (I can even cut paper-thin slices of a tomato without touching the tomato with my other hand!) It's a lot of money for a knife, but for anyone who can handle the sticker price and who loves to cook as I do, I can't recommend it more highly.

Very sharp out of the box with a large circumference handle that fits me well. I look forward to years of use. Higher height blade base helps to scoop food for transfer. Excellent quality.
I sharpen hundreds of knives a year and was blown away with the 52100 steel while repairing a chef's damaged blade. After getting a nice discount from Zwilling, I purchased one. The reason for a 4 star quality rating is because one side of the micarta handle had fit and finish issues. I expect more quality control for a knife this expensive. However, a phone call and email picture sent to customer service immediately yielded a return shipping label and I had a flawless replacement blade in a week. Nice. The 4 star value rating is solely based on price. The steel is the nicest I've had the pleasure to work on and takes an absolute razor edge. Top notch in every way. You won't be disappointed.
It is truly rare when a product of this quality is made available as a production item. As are the custom Kramer knives, these Zwilling versions are extremely well designed and made from top-quality materials. I own a rather large collection of knives from Japanese, to French, to German, and a few custom made ones as well, and this single knife has blown me away. It is as sharp as my "Premiere" brand Japanese knives but I have to say the Bob Kramer design is slightly better and the blade heft is much more than the typical Japanese design.Frankly, I just got the 8" a few days ago but I am so convinced this is going to be my "go to" knife for a long time I did not hesitate writing this review now.

I have many years of experience using knives in all sorts of applications; cooking, hunting, butchering, wood working, I know what a sharp edge looks like, and I know when I am using a superb quality tool. The Bob Kramer line is just that.
Wow, amazing, truly a work of art and function. I just bought the 8" Chef version (first time Bob Kramer knives have ever been on sale in the U.S.A.) and had an opportunity to compare it to the BK Essential, Stainless Damascus and Meiji 8" versions and chose the Carbon. When you first pick up the Carbon you instantly recognize what makes it stand out from the others...the weight (heavier), balance and "purchase," the feeling of the grip in your hand-it feels like an extension of your hand. The blade is also thicker in cross-section than the other collections mentioned above. If that wasn't enough to convince me, the fit and finish is nothing short of artisan. And the performance, well when slicing and cutting it just has a flow to it. The added weight is balanced ... MoreWow, amazing, truly a work of art and function.

And the performance, well when slicing and cutting it just has a flow to it. The added weight is balanced perfectly and assists you in manipulating the blade. In fact I feel I have more control with the Carbon than the others. I now know that spending $80 more than the equivalent Essential Collection knife is a no brainer (hold and use them both and you too will know what I'm talking about). This is an heirloom, knife for a lifetime.
This is my favorite carbon steel knive!! The fit and finish is second to none! I loved this knife so much o bought nearly every carbon 2.0 knife in the line and will complete the collection. I have tried a few other knives and have to go back to these the superior edge retention and quality finish on these knives is exactly what you would expect from a top dollar knife.
This knife is absolutely the sharpest knife I've ever owned. While I'm relatively new to higher end knives this is a great entry point because it has the feel of a Western/German knife with almost all the precision and sharpness of a Japanese knife. Carbon steel is absolutely more work, but the patina is beautiful. If you've been thinking about getting it for awhile, this is your sign to go for it!
Really not a bad knife, it's just a terrible value. The fit and finish is quite good, and the carbon blade is reactive but not absurdly rust-prone, even if you don't dry it as quickly as you should. It will take a scary-sharp edge with competency and decent sharpening stones. Disclaimer: I have a preference for thinner knives. I want my knife like a laser beam; if you like thicker knives, or are used to "normal" knives from the likes of Zwilling or Wusthof, this thing will make those look second rate and will be a nice step-up.Pros: The way this grip fits in the hand is pure art. The profile of the handle and balance are immaculate if you're used to a traditional, European style handle. The fit of the components is standard+, but the polishing is second to none - ... MoreReally not a bad knife, it's just a terrible value.

The profile of the handle and balance are immaculate if you're used to a traditional, European style handle. The fit of the components is standard+, but the polishing is second to none - really amazing attention there.My issue is a couple of things: the knife is VERY thick; ingredients wedge and it does not move as nimbly through ingredients as its sharpness would lead you to believe. Out of the box sharpness is maybe 4.5/10, spend a bit of time with some stones and this gets freakishly sharp. Also, this knife feels larger than it is, it feels bulky and clumsy for an 8" blade.Would I recommend? IF you like thick knives this is probably one of the best on the market in terms of profile, bolster-less design, fit and finish, but it will be higher maintenance than most knives in that category - and you're going to pay a hefty premium for this. If you want something that will be nimble, fly through ingredients, and is much better value (and less maintenance) get a stainless-clad carbon Japanese knife from a boutique producer. You will get much better value for money, and a much higher performing knife.
