Combination of western blade and eastern design. Typical Kramer design with a wider body and handle. Extremely sharp and durable steel. Absolutely beautiful damascus pattern. I use this knife for chopping and slicing fruits and vegetables. Excellent feel.

Wide Blade Chef, A Powerful Knife!

Meiji collection knife has wide blade, outstanding for large size food, meat, vegetables and fruits. I liked this 6" knife wide blade my daily prep knife, because it is less effort for me to go in and out cutting and slicing food. Its 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 provides added durability, helps prevent food from sticking.

Best Little Pre Knife

Ample knuckle space for a prep knife. Super SG2 steel wrapped many times for stability and a beautiful Damascus finish. A rare 5.5" knife which boasts a healthy-sized handle...which will last a long time.

Great chopper

This 6-inch chef's knife, with the wider blade, is reminiscent of a Japanese butchery knife. It is fluid and responsive. I like it for boning fish with a tougher skin and bigger bones. Great for chopping vegs and cubing meat. The beefier handle feels good in my hand. The Meiji line is as tough as it is beautiful. Made of 101 layers of steel, and ice hardened in the process, this knife will work hundreds of menus before it needs to be sharpened. The patterned blade is signals the Damascus-style layering. The bright stainless is eye catching. The handle is a little longer than traditional handles. Great for larger hands or folks who don't use a pinch grip.

Beauty and Function

I absolutely love this knife! The handle feels as if it were made for my hand and I use this knife for everything that I don't use my chef's knife. The chevron design on the blade is gorgeous and I have seen nothing like it ever before.

zwilling employee

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.
