    Created with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer, the KRAMER by ZWILLING EUROLINE Stainless Steel Damascus Collection features stainless steel blades made to his exacting standards, maximizing curves, balance and utility. Bob's design has an extremely wide blade to maximize knuckle clearance for larger hands and for cutting through large produce and piles of food. Chopped food can easily be transported with this impressive, broad blade. The knives are hand-finished with a traditional 3-step process by skilled Japanese artisans. Combined with the SG2 micro-carbide powder steel, the ice-hardened CRYODUR blades deliver scalpel-like sharpness, stay sharper longer and can withstand more sharpening over their lifespan. The SG2 super steel core is protected by an exceptionally beautiful 100-layer Chevron Damascus pattern, which is complimented by a stunning black linen Micarta handle and signature Bob Kramer mosaic pin.

    Im slowly learning to sharpen with wetstones. I have Zwilling knives and various types of Japanese knives. Question about sharpening angles. Ive understood German knives are usually 20 degrees and Japanese 15. Now on this video you’re aiming 10 degrees. Any particular reason for that?

    • @nitrobw1
      @nitrobw1 18 днів тому

      I am far from an expert but I believe it has to do with the hardness of the steel used in the knife. A softer steel will not take as fine an edge as a hard steel will, but on the other hand it will be less brittle and prone to chipping.
      These are ground to about 10* because they are using very hard steel that can take a very fine edge, but as a result you should try to avoid using them, or any japanese style knife, on particularly hard substances like bone or frozen foods. A western style knife will usually be able to take more punishment like that.

      10 degrees per side = 20 degrees in total

      This is a stropping block. You can find them on our site!

    The stones look like Shaptons with a different name.
    He should make a video fixing chipped blades.

    No matter when I use the sweeping strokes, vertical lines appear on the knife on one side (the starting side in the video). My burr is weak.

    You know you're serious about knives if you take sharpening stones with you on vacation.

    Why do use a rotating stroke when your right hand is in a pronating postion, but you don't use a rotating stroke when your right hand is in a supinating position?

      His palm is down (pronated) in both edge strokes, what do you mean?

    At 23:39 Bob Kramer mentions a "Sharpening Steel" or "Ceramic".
    Is he referencing a honing rod?
    If that's the case, what is the best sharpening practice utilizing these stones with the honing rod?

    • @ZWILLINGUSA
      @ZWILLINGUSA  17 днів тому

      He is referring to a honing rod to get the blade back in alignment in between sharpening. For sharpening, we recommend our mail order service @knifeaid to get your knives professional sharpened fast!
