DESCRIPTION
The 8-inch chef's knife is a reliable, all-rounder knife, perfect for almost every kitchen task. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with this workhorse blade in the kitchen.

Kramer Carbon 2.0 is Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer's latest evolution in knife design. With a redesigned blade shape from bolster to tip, the Kramer Carbon 2.0 collection offers improved weight distribution and balance for more efficient cutting. Each knife features a new hand-shaped Micarta handle that is robust and sturdy and exceptionally hygienic. The handle design features stunning brass rivets and a Bob Kramer mosaic pin.

Bob's design has an extremely wide blade to maximize knuckle clearance for larger hands and for cutting through large produce and piles of food. Chopped food can easily be transported with this impressive, broad blade. A material nearly lost to the home kitchen, straight carbon steel requires knowledge and care to maintain. In return, owners will be rewarded with a sharpness and keenness of edge that only straight carbon can deliver. Hand-finished with a 3-step process by the most skilled Japanese artisans, these knives boast impressive sharpness.

Great quality knife. It is high carbon steel which means it will patina and possibly rust if you don't maintain it correctly.
Never put this knife in the dishwasher, always dry it after hand washing, and also give it a quick wipe with mineral oil after use to prevent rust. Avoid using cooking oils because they'll eventually go rancid and turn the blade sticky and brown.
I've had this knife for 2 years now and love it. Got it on sale at a local knife shop for $175 and I have no regrets.

I cook for my family every day, and have a little meal prepping hustle on the side so I am using this knife all the time. As someone mentioned, it may not be 2.5x or even 2x better but there are other things to consider. For me the weight of the knife is perfect and the shape/size of the handle is more comfortable (to me) for prolonged use. I have cheaper knives that are very sharp but my grip tends to feel off when using it for too long or some knives that are too heavy for long uses. Like the Japanese style handles, they don't work great for me…but might work great for someone else.

Is it worth the cost? To me…yes, it is something that I use everyday and expect to have the rest of my life.

Can also confirm that the knife will rust fast if you do not care for it and make sure to dry it after washing it.
Anybody that paid $440 for this was likely shopping at an airport gift shop.

As much as I want it I can't justify spending that much on a knife. But then again I can't justify all the watches I have either. Damn you SD

I coveted one of these knives. After I got something expensive I realized I used it less compared to a Mercer/the other cheap European brand because I was worried I'd mess it up. I exclusively buy cheap stamped knives since they serve their purpose well. Now if you are a collector..enjoy!

I hate this carbon knife, it rusts so easily. I spent $260 I think on it several years ago.

Just buy a shun or Kramer or whatever that's normal stainless steel

I'll take it off your hands if you want to get rid of it.
