ABS Master Smith Bob Kramer makes the best kitchen knives in the world. He was kind enough to share many lessons and valuable pieces of information with me. I could not have gotten to this point without his help. If you ever have an opportunity to buy a Kramer knife I highly recommend that you take advantage of it.
