Bob Kramer Euro Essential Utility knife, 130 mm, 5'', 34980-131

Focused on the essence: quality, design, function

For Bob Kramer, the art of knife-making consists of reducing each and every knife to its very essence. Each individual element has to be precisely designed so that the knife performs the function for which it was intended. This does not equate to omission, rather the conscious awareness of a lifestyle that focuses on the essential.

Euro Essential represents a knife series created for everyday use in demanding gourmet kitchens. The well-balanced blade, with its typical broad KRAMER by ZWILLING shape, also offers plenty of room for larger hands. A professional special steel was selected, the hardness, sharpness and strength of which has proved its worth on a number of razor blades. The handle – the edges of which, like the blades, are rounded by hand – always sits securely in your hand, thanks to its ergonomic shape and
soft-touch plastic.

These knives have proved themselves as reliable, easy-care implements for every task in the kitchen – simply essential!

The blade is made from a professional special steel, which is also used for razor blades, among other things: FC61. FC stands for “fine carbide” – the carbides in this steel are distributed extremely finely and evenly. The special structure of the steel ensures wonderfully fine cutting and produces an even cutting edge with excellent initial sharpness and sharpness retention. The special ice-hardening of the steel creates an extremely durable blade with a hardness of approximately 61 HRC.
