Bob Kramer's "Kramer Knives" are the one of the best knives out there. The secret to Bob Kramer's knives is the steel and extensive heat treatment each piece gets during its creation. Every piece is specially treated one at a time in a seven step process that takes more than six hours to complete. FEATURES* Handmade Custom kitchen knives by Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer. 10 years of professional cooking experience, and 15 years of building custom kitchen knives, combined make the finest culinary knives on the planet.* The default wood is Cocobolo, this a Rosewood which comes from the equatorial zones. This wood is rich in oils and is hard with an interwoven grain all good reasons to be used on a kitchen knife. I can use plastic for the handles which of course is very stable but I love the feel of wood and the way it ages.If you buy a set, it includes:
