kramer knives

kramer knives

AnnalsRead the first half Staffan Terje account right here.Stuart and I had fed some great ingredients and bring our knives to cut the test: half of hamachi, pork, fresh mushrooms, onions, carrots, pumpkin, and some good hard action. But Bob the ingredients, she thought, we should first cut the 2.1 "thick hemp rope.

I looked in horror as he proceeded to punish a beautiful 8” chef knife with an iron wood handle, sawing off pieces of rope. He was putting a knife (with a pricetag over $1000) through the Ginzu test. Yikes. He then put he knife on a sharpening steel and purposely made the knife’s edge roll to one side. You could feel how the sharpness had disappeared and this masterpiece was more like a cake spatula.

Wow. And with a few soft strokes and some stropping on a piece of leather he assured it us it was as sharp as before“Try it on your arm, I don’t have any hair left on mine”. I did. The blade shaved a spot off my forearm the size of a half dollar. Cleanly. Wow again.Through the afternoon and evening the questions poured out as we went along and cut things, now food.
