The auction makes me sad all over again.
Hope it raises lots of money for the culinary study abroad scholarship, but AB would have some choice things to say about the ppl who are willing to pay for his old living room rugs, jackets, and sunglasses.

It’s a Bob Kramer not Bob Craft and he made it especially for him. I saw the episode where he presented it to him.

I’ve been on the Bob Kramer auction list for 5 years and haven’t even gotten close. But he partnered with Zwilling for a line that can be bought for $300 and up. Great knives.

It was custom made for him by a Chinese masseuse.

$300 Kramer Zwilling carbon steel knife

Great watch! Bourdain watching Kramer build a knife

That's a ridiculously complex process.

Eta best part of video is watching the patina move across the orange hot knife as it cures the steel.

That was cool. And the chemicals that etch a design into the blade.

and I got a downvote for posting a video of a guy building a knife by creating his own steel mixed with a meteorite.

Love this place

I wouldn’t buy anything from the estate of someone who killed himself.
