His knives are crazy expensive through his auctions but it does not seem to extend to the secondary market. I know Salty did well but most I have noticed seem to flounder, of course I have not seen every single auction either.
 
"The ultimate kiritsuke", lmao.

Why anyone would ever entertain this instead of an offering from a top Japanese smith who specialises in this style of knife, at a fraction of the cost is simply beyond me.
 
Some of Kramer's knives are just drop dead gorgeous. I've seen some that I would put them in a clear, rotating display just so I could look at them from various angles. Having said that, if I wanted a high-end, made in the USA, kitchen knife I would look no where else than Devin Thomas.
 
I doubt that I would spend that much money for a kitchen knife even if I am a super rich. ^^
 
I like some of Kramers patterns a lot, they have a more artsy flair than others rather than mere complexity. But I don't feel any of his knives are worth 5 figures, and this blade in particular is very ordinary looking. And as already stated non of his blades would cut as well as some of the high-end knives made specifically for the purpose.
 
i find it hard to believe a professional chef was using this in his restaurant...

$10k for a blade is ridiculous, and not sure why someone would pay that for a used knife. $10k knife seems like more of an art/collector piece than something some guy would use to butcher fish in a kitchen
 
another red flag is the seller has no feedback...and only posts three pictures on an item costing this much.

EDIT:

looks like its this guy: http://masterofwinejourney.blogspot.hk/2011/08/custom-made-knife.html

says he is in D.C. as well and username matches up to ebay, etc.. same photos/descriptions. seems legit, that said putting a $10k knife up on ebay seems like a huge risk....way too many "empty box" scammers on ebay for an item of this rarity and cost.
 
It's a little suspicious that the seller is using pictures that are 3 years old. Why not just snap a few new ones if he's selling it?
 
With a feedback of 1 and calling the handle maple when it is black ash,
I would be afraid of this even if one of the zeros was removed.
 
44k........:rofl2: that's awesome. what do the auctions go for these days?
 
I placed my best bid , fingers crossed , maybe can snatch that one for less than a grand:D
