Bob Kramer - KRAMER BY ZWILLING

The perfect art of knife-cutting

Bob Kramer has gathered a wealth of experiences throughout his varied life. When working in the most diverse kitchens, he learned not only how to use a wide variety of types of knives, but also the mysteries of knife-sharpening, before finally driving through the USA in a converted truck as a mobile knife-sharpener. The desire grew in him to produce his own high-performance knives that would be easy to sharpen and would retain their intact cutting edge even after heavy use. For over 20 years he has been passionately devoting himself to perfecting the art of blade-forging. This experience forms the basis for a collection of high-performance knives: KRAMER BY ZWILLING.

Bob Kramer has achieved cult status among chefs and knife aficionados and his knives are much sought-after works of art. The waiting list is long for his knives, even if a small knife can cost thousands of dollars. Bob Kramer forges only a handful of knives personally by hand every week in his factory in Olympia, Washington. Anyone who finally holds "their very own" Bob Kramer knife in their hand after waiting a year or so for it, will never want another knife. Bob Kramer has now incorporated his extensive knowledge and life-long experience into a cooperative partnership with ZWILLING. The joint goal: More people should be able to call a knife that meets Bob Kramer's exacting quality standards their own. The joint result: Euro Carbon, Euro Stainless and Euro Essential – knives made by master craftsmen in Seki / Japan.
