KRAMER by ZWILLING Bread Knife

This knife features a high-performance SG2 micro-carbide powder steel core, which offers significantly better edge retention and sharpness than standard stainless steel. The 100-layer Damascus construction also provides a unique, durable blade geometry designed by master bladesmith Bob Kramer.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the integrity of the Damascus steel and the Micarta handle, you should always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.

To maintain the scalpel-like edge of the SG2 steel, use only wood, bamboo, or polyethylene cutting boards. Avoid glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces, as these will dull the blade prematurely.

Because of the high-hardness SG2 steel, you should avoid using a standard pull-through sharpener, which can damage the delicate serrations. We recommend using a professional sharpening service or a high-quality whetstone if you are experienced in manual sharpening.

Micarta is a highly durable, moisture-resistant composite material that provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. It is preferred by professional chefs for its longevity and ability to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen.

The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as cutting frozen foods, bones, or using the knife on inappropriate surfaces.
