The Zwilling Kramer Damascus 5.5-inch Prep Knife feels like the perfect everyday companion for those smaller, precise tasks that make all the difference in cooking, whether you're peeling garlic, trimming herbs, or slicing fruit into perfect bites. Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer collaborated with Zwilling to create this collection, designing blades to his exacting standards with maximum curves, balance, and utility in mind.

The brand hand-finishes each one in Japan through a traditional 3-step process by skilled artisans, using SG2 micro-carbide powder steel that's ice-hardened via CRYODUR for scalpel-like sharpness that holds longer and takes more sharpening over time. We love the stunning 101-layer Chevron Damascus cladding that protects the core while adding breathtaking beauty, plus the riveted black linen Micarta handle with Kramer's signature mosaic pin that stays comfortable, crack-free, and color-true.

Double-tapered blade and tang keep it nimble yet sturdy, with a 9-12° edge angle per side and 65 Rockwell hardness for effortless cutting. This Japanese gem turns routine prep into something joyful and precise. Add it to your lineup and feel how much smoother your kitchen flows.
