8" Bob Kramer Cumulus SG2 Damascus Chef

Precision and power meet in the palm of your hand with the ZWILLING Bob Kramer Cumulus Collection. This 4-inch paring knife is ideal for small cutting tasks like peeling vegetables, slicing elaborate garnishes, and cutting fruits.

These remarkably durable knives are crafted in Japan with an SG2 super-steel core and hand-finished with a traditional three-step process. They boast durable strength and sharpness thanks to the cryogenic ice-hardening and 11° angle blade for scalpel-like sharpness. The stunning 101-layer, deep-etched chevron Damascus pattern makes these knives true works of art.

Lightweight yet strong, the knives feature a full tang and offer maximum maneuverability for an effortless approach to kitchen cutting tasks. The durable and wear-resistant white linen micarta handle maintains its beauty even with regular use. Featuring a signature decorative pin that was handcrafted by Bob Kramer, this contemporary and elegant collection will become essential to any kitchen.
