KRAMER Damascus 8-inch Narrow Chef's Knife
Very sharp, well balanced with beautiful Macarta handle knife that exceeded all my expectations. I naively thought that this knife can be used by everybody but not this knife only for adult chiefs. I recommend to buy it. P.S. Usually Macarta handles on knifes are getting wet and after become very sticky with degraded material but that helps to hold knife very firm. I will see how it’s going to be on this knife.
