Check out a sampling of the collection below and shop by clicking the images.
The Carbon collection consists of a wide variety of high-end and masterfully crafted kitchen knives that boast the Bob Kramer name. Recently, Bob Kramer revisited the Carbon collection and improved upon a few key features, dubbing this revised set of knives the Carbon 2.0 collection. So, what exactly does this new Carbon 2.0 collection have to offer and what makes it different from the original Carbon collection?
Bob Kramer himself discusses the new additions and improvements featured in the Carbon 2.0 collection.
Through improvements on the blade and handle, the Bob Kramer Carbon 2.0 knife collection offers improved weight distribution and balance for more efficient cutting. Kramer has reinvented the Carbon collection, which now features a new hand-shaped Micarta handle boasting an exceptionally hygienic and sturdy hold. The handle features the classic Kramer mosaic pin and is elegantly adorned with beautiful brass rivets.
The clever handle design with a “bird beak” shape at the end ensures that the knife remains steady in your hand no matter the task. This redesign was inspired by past experiences when slicing greasy meats or oily vegetables would lead to knife slippage. Most knives feature a straight, minimal handle, but the Kramer Carbon 2.0 collection showcases this brilliant safety feature that also allows you to slice large quantities of produce and meat with ease and without worry.

The handle, however, isn’t the only part of the Carbon collection that got a makeover. Made of straight carbon steel, these knives will reward every owner with sharpness and masterful technique that only this type of blade can provide. This carbon steel has been treated with an intense and thought-out heating process, complimenting the fine-grain makeup of the metal to create the most elite edge. While the blade starts off as a bright, shiny grey, over time it will mature, developing a blue-grey color representing beauty and a unique character. As with other high-end products and to preserve the integrity of each piece, these knives should be hand washed only and thoroughly dried after use.
From handle to blade, these knives are truly the next step in elevating your kitchen. Carbon 2.0 is truly cutting edge, innovative, and luxurious while maintaining a practical look and feel.
