Unlike any other knife out there!
This knife is the most stunning one in my whole collection. My wife gave this to me as a early birthday present and I can't be happier with it. The expert craftsmanship that is used in the collaboration between Kramer and Zwilling is something that I don't think I've ever seen anything like before. Amazing product!

Sharp out of the box
The knife is very sharp out of the box and feels great ergonomically in my hand! Can’t wait to chop with it!

Perfection.
I've never had the pleasure to hold, handle, or use such a beautiful, balanced Chef's knife. It is as if the blade grips what it is slicing into. The handle is incredibly comfortable and makes prep work a breeze.

Ergonomic & Beautiful!
I love this knife because I can do pretty much anything with it and I like that it’s not heavy and and tiring to hold as I cook a lot from scratch and do a lot of chopping.

Precision meets elegance in every cut
This Miyabi knife by Kramer (Zwilling) is an excellent blend of beauty and performance. The blade features a stunning Damascus-style pattern that isn’t just for looks—it helps with smooth, precise cuts. It feels well-balanced in the hand, making it comfortable to use for both quick prep and longer cooking sessions. The edge is incredibly sharp and holds its sharpness well over time. Overall, it’s a high-quality, professional-grade knife that’s perfect if you want both style and serious cutting power in your kitchen.

Beautifully Crafted and Razor Sharp
From the beautiful, sturdy handle to the astonishingly sharp blade, I loved it the moment I received it and opened the box. It’s a knife I want to take good care of and use for many years to come.

My new knife as a fessional Chef in my restaurant
I have been using my previous zwilling chef knife for over 10 years and was looking to upgrade and treat myself. This knife did exactly that. Its both beautiful and versatile. I have longer fingers which the handle perfectly fits with its d-shape. The edge holds well with good maintenance, but not as finicky as most Japanese knifes. VERY happy with this one

The perfect Chef Knife
This knife has been the Rockstar of my collection. The large tall blade makes it perfect for processing large quantities of ingredients. The knife itself is gorgeous, both the blade and handle are very ergonomic. The spine of the blade is round to help with callous.

Treat yourself
I heard of Bob Kramer from Anthony Bourdain's (R.I.P) Raw Craft and was so amazed at his dedication to knife making. Bob's commitment to his skill is second to none and his knives go for a price point that is out of reach for most, when the are available. This knife is not only a masterpiece to work with but to look at. A must buy to make each meal memorable.

Kramer Meji Chef’s Knife
One of the best knives I’ve had. I love the handle and how it works for a left handed person. The way it sits in my hand gives me a bit more control in my cuts.

Does not disappoint!
I enjoy this knife more every time I pick it up. The balance is perfect for a pinch grip and had a beautiful edge right out of the box.

Masterclass
It’s an honor to have a Kramer knife in my collection . As a Line Cook I’ve used a range of knives and the build on this Meiji is incredible . It’s light while still being sturdy , precise while still being a bigger blade . It’s a great all around knife . I recommend this knife to anyone in the industry or someone who appreciates blades .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great knife so far. It had a small chip on the back of the knife when it came in but that doesn't make me like it any less

Stunning
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful knife. Not sure if the tang goes to the end of the handle, but it’s totally balanced and has a great feel in the hand.
