The KRAMER by ZWILLING EUROLINE Carbon Collection is the first line created with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer. With over 18 years of forging experience, Bob has partnered with ZWILLING J.A.

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.
