SHOP CASE KNIVESPrecision comes standard with the Henckels Bob Kramer Cumulus 4-Inch Paring Knife, a compact blade built for intricate kitchen work. Whether you're peeling vegetables, trimming fruit, or slicing delicate garnishes, this knife offers refined control, exceptional sharpness, and balanced handling in a size that fits neatly in the palm of your hand. Designed for exacting tasks, it brings professional-level craftsmanship to home and pro kitchens alike.
Crafted in Japan using premium materials and traditional methods, the Cumulus series features a core of SG2 micro-carbide super steel known for its incredible hardness, edge retention, and reliability. The blade undergoes cryogenic ice-hardening for added toughness, then is finished by hand using a three-step Honbazuke process that yields an ultra-sharp 11° edge. With this kind of blade geometry, every cut feels effortless, delivering the kind of control you can trust for precision prep work.
The 101-layer Damascus cladding isn't just for looks—it adds strength and durability while resisting corrosion and wear. The deep-etched chevron pattern gives the knife a bold, textured finish that's as eye-catching as it is functional, a signature look that reflects Bob Kramer's custom knife-making legacy.
Equipped with a full tang for stability and control, the Cumulus paring knife feels solid in hand without unnecessary weight. The handle is made from white linen micarta, a durable, wear-resistant material that maintains its shape and color even with frequent use. It's not only tough but comfortable, offering a secure grip for confident cutting. A decorative mosaic pin—crafted by Kramer himself—adds a final touch of craftsmanship to this standout piece.
Built for chefs who demand the best from every tool in the kitchen, this paring knife doesn't compromise on performance or design. It's a precision instrument meant to tackle fine, close-up work with ease, while offering the beauty and durability you'd expect from a premium blade. Order it today from SMKW!
