Bob Kramer knives are considered by many to be the best in the world. And right now, his collection at Sur La Table (made in collaboration with Zwilling J.A. Henckels) is on major discount—but only for today.
Bob Kramer is often referred to as the greatest American knifesmith working today and his blades have earned full cult status with giants of the food world slinging them in kitchens and singing their praises. Just this past November, in fact, Anthony Bourdain’s Bob Kramer knife earned an astounding $230,000 at auction. They also happen to be one of the most talked-about kitchen tools on our food and cooking sister site Chowhound.
Kramer’s blades are known for an ultra-strong Damascus steel with mesmerizing blade patterns and elegant handles made from rare or exotic woods. While these aren’t Kramer originals (there is an extremely long waiting list for those made by Kramer himself), the iconic bladesmith joined forces with another renowned knife producer, Zwilling J.A. Henckels, to create an exquisite line of carbon steel knives made by hand in Seki City, the ancient Japanese knife-making capital.
Some of these knives from the Kramer line are currently marked down as much as 45 percent, but only through today. Check out a few of our top picks for the limited Bob Kramer knife sale on now.
