Replacement knives better than expected
I just unpacked a box of Kramer knives. I had sent knives in to be sharpened and the post office lost my parcel. Shout out to Knife Aid who replaced my beloved Japanese knives with a selection of Bob Kramer Meiji cutlery. The quality is readily apparent. The weight and balance are excellent and the sharpness right out of the box is exactly what I expected. I loved the knives that were lost but these are very very impressive. I look forward to making many meals with these and eventually passing them on to my sons.

WOW - What a Knife!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is serious - phenomenal for slicing any cut of meat we send its way. Not a carving knife, but that wasn't the reason we purchased it. The blade is BEAUTIFUL, the pattern, the finish, and the steel. Such a pleasure to use, and what a statement piece. With cooking being a passion, this is such a worthwhile investment.

Amazing Knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well thought out design and so comfortable to hold. I'm left handed and I've never found a knife that felt so good in my hand.

This slicer is absolutely fantastic! It’s made out of a very tough durable FC61 steel. It’s super sharp and keeps the edge forever. It slices with clean smooth cuts. Perfectly balanced and doesn't feel huge in my hands.

If you want a special knife for those special carving occasions like your holiday roasts definitely consider investing in this beautiful knife. Designed by Bob Kramer the master knife smith you're hard pressed to find a nicer more beautiful knife. The core is made from FC61 steel which is one of the hardest steels available and then wrapped in an additional one hundred layers of stainless and nickel to create the unique damascus pattern. You will achieve the most effortless thin slices of roast with this knife not to mention using it for fajita meat slicing, cutting ribs or even special occasion cakes.

The Meiji line of Bob Kramer knives is an asian inspired look on a western knife. The edge angle and the steel are in keeping with a typical western style Kramer production knife. The detailed and asian inspired handle with angles and smoothed corners gives the feel of a traditional eastern D shaped handle. An unexpected and stunning look to this collection.

A stunning knife made as in collaboration with Zwilling and Bob Kramer - master bladesmith! Never disappoints with his quality or craftsmanship in knives, this 9" Meiji slicer is no exception. Made with 101 layer Damascus steel, thin blade, with the Friodurx2 process that keeps blades sharp, durable and corrosion and chip free. I love the pins he designs for the center of the handle - adds a beautiful touch that other knives simply do not have. The handle is smooth and comfortable - so gives a good grip while slicing!

I love the handle on the Meiji line, it is very comfortable in my hand. When Bob Kramer designed the handle, he designed it to fit perfectly in the hand, regardless if you are right-handed or left. The FC61 steel is sharp and will retain it sharpness longer due to the ice-hardeneing process. Less sharpening, more slicing!

Amazing Kramer Design
This knife has a unique handle construction, enlarged slightly which gives the ridge more of a pronounced peak for better grip. Bob Kramer makes the signature handle pin at his shop in Washington, it represents peace and culture, and ships them to Japan. Such an amazing personal connnection. The blade is thin and razor sharp, perfect for thin slices of turkey or roast. It's made from FC61 which is extremely chip resistant and wrapped in 100 layers that makes it stunningly beautiful.

Beauty and Brawn
The Meiji line is as tough as it is beautiful. Made of 101 layers of steel, and ice hardened in the process, this tough knife will work hundreds of menus before it needs to be sharpened. It also makes it possible to sharpen this knife to an optimal slicing angle so it glides right through cooked meats and raw fish. The bright stainless, patterned blade signifies its Damascus-style layering. The handle is a little longer than traditional handles. Great for larger hands or folks who don't use a pinch grip.

This beautiful knife designed by Master Blade Smith Bob Kramer is a work of art. With 100 layers of ladder Damascus surrounding a FC 61 core this knife is built to last. The exaggerated D shape of the handle is designed to feel secure in both the left and the right hand. These are well balanced yet light weight knives that cut with precision and ease.

Nice sharp slicer knife
This is a really unique slicer knife. The handle shape really fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, a shape that I’ve never seen in another knife collection outside of the Meiji. With it having 100 layers of FC61 stainless steel, this knife slices so smoothly and beautifully. It looks great and is a solid Japanese knife.

Comfort and Durability!
Meiji collection knife has wide blade, even a slicing knife. It is outstanding for large size food cutting and slicing for meat, vegetables and fruits. I liked this 9" slicing knife wide blade, because it is less effort for me to go in and out cutting and slicing when prepping food and when serving a sumptuous dinner roast meat. Meiji knife potent core of FC61 fine carbide stainless steel is protected by 100 layers of nickel and stainless steel. Blades offer remarkable durability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The ergonomic charcoal Pakkawood handles is more comfortable for left handed cook. Damascus pattern on the knife blade provides added durability, helps prevent food from sticking.
