Is this knife worth $369.99?

If you want a large carbon-steel chef's knife with a hand-finished edge and are willing to dry it after every use, the price is in line with other Kramer-made knives. If you want low maintenance, a stainless knife costs less.

How does it differ from the original Bob Kramer Carbon knife?

The 2.0 adds a brass bolster and a handcrafted brass center pin, a fully rounded and mirror-polished spine and choil, and refined weight distribution, while keeping the 52100 carbon steel blade.

The steel is rust-resistant but not stainless. Wash and dry it by hand right after use; the patina that forms is a protective layer, not damage.

What size is the blade?

It is a 10-inch chef's knife, about 2.4 inches wide at the blade, with a 15-degree edge angle on each side.

Does it come with a sharpener or sheath?

No. The knife is sold as a single piece with no sharpener or sheath included.

When is the price lowest?

Only one new listing was found, at $369.99 at perfectedgecutlery.com as of November 5, 2026, so there is no lower price to compare against yet. Watch for holiday sales at authorized Zwilling dealers.

Our take on the Zwilling Bob Kramer Carbon 2.0 Chef's Knife

The Zwilling Bob Kramer Carbon 2.0 is a 10-inch forged chef's knife in 52100 carbon steel, hand-finished by Bob Kramer's workshop with a Micarta handle and brass bolster and center pin. It is hardened to 61 Rockwell and hand-honed to a 15-degree edge per side, so it takes a very keen edge but needs drying after use to keep rust and patina in check. The only new price found is $369.99 at perfectedgecutlery.com as of November 5, 2026, with one store listing it new.
