$1499.95 — Buy from Sur La Table
As I write this post, I dig deep for the perfect word to describe this 7-piece Shun Bob Kramer Knife Set from Sur La Table. I could use beautiful, breathtaking, gorgeous, fantastic, stunning, awesome, radical, far-out, or even pulchritudinous, but the word I choose is nifty.
Nifty is an underutilized word in 2008. I hope to bring nifty back into vogue with this post about the niftiest knife set I’ve ever laid eyes on. Sure, it’s a little spendy and you could easily opt for the $39.95 “As Seen on TV” Miracle Blade knife set, but that would be a travesty of all that is good and pure in the cooking world.
Each knife is meticulously crafted by 150 expert artisans to achieve the precise heft, balance and shape of Bob Kramer’s original design. The 3mm steel blades are composed of an SG2 core (64-66HRC) clad with true pattern-welded nickel and stainless steel Damascus for beautiful, razor-sharp and lasting edges. Gently rounded and richly grained red and black Pakkawood handles are crafted in Bob’s signature contoured shape, and mirror the curve of the palm for a wonderfully natural hand-feel. This complete collection includes the knives essential to any kitchen: 8″ chef’s knife, 10″ bread knife, 7″ santoku knife, 4¾” utility knife, 3¼” paring knife, honing steel and easel-style bamboo wood block.
