Five incredible Bob Kramer Meiji knives in a distinctive block presentation. If you're ready to invest in heirloom knives that will be handed down for generations don't hesitate on this set. The core of these knives is made from FC61 steel which is so hard the edges will stay razor sharp use after use. The patented ice hardening process ensures flexibility and chip resistance. The core is protected by 100 additional layers of nickel and stainless steel to create Kramer's etched ladder damascus pattern. The Pakkawood handle fits perfectly into your palm whether you are left or right handed.

great beautifl set
I love everything about this set. The unique handle design is very comfortable to hold. The attractive wood is a color like no other. The blade is made from super sharp steel that goes through a double hardening process making a blade that is super thin, sharp and durable. The cutting edge is made to an acute Japanese angle allowing for precise thin cuts and slices. The layered damascus pattern really highlights the craftsmanship in every knife. The block has such a unique design as well being modern yet classic at the same time.

We were in awe!
OK, so what made these knives so awesome to us? Not their beauty and balance, which we expected. It was the unexpected. The knives felt and functioned comfortably in the hands of both, myself and my wire. So what?, you may ask. The "so what" is that my wife is left-handed while I am right-handed. Thus it was most unusual and most satisfying to find the knives performed well for both of us. To us, that factor alone greatly elevates the value of these instruments.

What flawless design, and the look great on the countertop... can you say ambidextrous? Although they fit and work well in the right hand; they are just as comfortable and fit perfectly for those left-handed folks too! We had some friends visit from the North and the chef friend of mine just happen to ask if he could help with dinner, I’m not shy, so of course you can help... he just so happens to be left handed, so I offered him the Meiji chef knife to use, to his surprise, he was so surprised, I ended up selling him on the set.

Simply Incredible
These are such incredible knives! Not only are they beautiful with the damascus design and redwood handle, they are extremely comfortable. The handle's unique curve fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. True to Bob Kramer's design, the blade is wide which makes every knife more versatile. The blades are razor sharp and hold their edge really well. I'm amazed with this type of knife coming out of Japan, that they are very durable and chip resistant. The FC61 steel is a game changer in knives and their durability.

Best Knives Ever
I loved the striations on the knife. But the absolute best thing about it, cutting a crisp apple without any force. Compared to my shun knives, these are one of the best knives I’ve ever handled. Coming from a restaurant owner that spends her day cutting and chopping. I promise you won’t regret it!
