Sharpest and nicest knife set ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just purchased these knives yesterday and are already in love! They are incredibly beautiful and sharp (was shredding the sponge when we were washing them). The knife block is great (longer than our previous one so does take up quite a bit of counter space). If you can swing it, I would definitely invest in these knives! They should last a lifetime.

Best Knives Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the striations on the knife. But the absolute best thing about it, cutting a crisp apple without any force. Compared to my shun knives, these are one of the best knives I’ve ever handled. Coming from a restaurant owner that spends her day cutting and chopping. I promise you won’t regret it!

great beautifl set

I love everything about this set. The unique handle design is very comfortable to hold. The attractive wood is a color like no other. The blade is made from super sharp steel that goes through a double hardening process making a blade that is super thin, sharp and durable. The cutting edge is made to an acute Japanese angle allowing for precise thin cuts and slices. The layered damascus pattern really highlights the craftsmanship in every knife. The block has such a unique design as well being modern yet classic at the same time.

Unique knife block

This is one of the most unique knife blocks I have ever seen, not to mention how beautiful the knives that go into it are. I love that this block comes with a 10" bread knife instead of the normal 8" that is too hard for most wide loaves of bread. The handles on the "Meiji" line of knives are very comfortable to use because the point in the handle fits perfectly into the knuckle groove in my hand.

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.
