Certified as a Master Bladesmith by the American Bladesmith Society, Bob Kramer is one of the only Master Bladesmiths in the world specializing in kitchen cutlery. As such, Bob Kramer has seen the knife from every angle: as a chef, a professional knife sharpener, and a Master Bladesmith. With this in mind, Kramer has collaborted with Zwilling to create the Kramer by Zwilling sharpening collection.

The Bob Kramer 10" Ceramic Honing Steel will help you maximize the performance of any knife, making sure that the edge be properly cared for. Keeping your blades sharp not only makes the cook's most important tool easier to use, sharpening makes knives safer. Regular, proper honing with this steel can forestall the need to do major sharpening. The trick - and this is key - is to hone while the knife is still performing well, because by the time you notice that the knife is getting dull, honing is useless.
