## Overview

The ZWILLING KRAMER EUROLINE Carbon Collection 2.0 8-inch Chef's Knife is a precision-forged German kitchen tool crafted from 52100 carbon steel hardened to 61 Rockwell. Designed by master bladesmith Bob Kramer, it features a balanced double-tapered blade and tang, a hand-finished scalpel-sharp edge, and a durable Micarta handle with brass accents. This knife requires careful handwashing to preserve its exceptional sharpness and develop a unique patina, making it a prized tool for serious home chefs and professionals alike.

## Description

Kramer Carbon 2.0 is Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer’s latest evolution in knife design. With a redesigned blade shape from bolster to tip, the Kramer Carbon 2.0 collection offers improved weight distribution and balance for more efficient cutting. Each knife features a new hand-shaped Micarta handle that is robust and sturdy and exceptionally hygienic. The handle design features stunning brass rivets and a Bob Kramer mosaic pin.Bob's design has an extremely wide blade to maximize knuckle clearance for larger hands and for cutting through large produce and piles of food. 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. In return, owners will be rewarded with a sharpness and keenness of edge that only straight carbon can deliver. Hand-finished with a 3-step process by the most skilled Japanese artisans, these knives boast impressive sharpness.

Review: Great knife- needs care though… - What a great knife. Really worth it. It is important to know that it needs tender love and care, and that after a short time it is discolored. That is the nature of the beast (carbon steel). The handle could be a bit more premium or more “durable”. And the knife is not the balanced of knives. Yet is probably one of the best knives in my selection.
Review: Watching the patina develop has been fun - This is a high carbon tool steel knife with remarkable performance that shows itself almost immediately: from the first touch, to the first prep work. It also is wildly reactive--and begins to patina almost instantly. Routine care consists of washing with plenty of detergent and a soft sponge, rinsing, and drying thoroughly. As an added step as the patina forms, I have been protecting the blade with a tiny tiny amount of Camelia oil and wiping with a paper towel. So far, the protected patina is just adding character to an already beautiful polished blade--not even a hint of rust

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth the higher price tag.
*by C***N on August 5, 2025*

This knife is phenomenal and I’m not regretting spending this much for it one bit. So much nicer to use than any other chefs knife I’ve owned.
