A real Kramer is often much, much more than $2,500. Kramer’s mid-line knives go, even used, for $10–$30K while his high-end, rarer stuff goes for much more. In fact, Bourdain had a real Kramer with meteorite used in its construction that sold at auction in 2019 for $231,500.

The linked ones are real too. Probably just the economics of making blades might have changed.

So they are not real knives then, just rich boys play things?

Porque no los dos?

A knife you are scared to use, for fear of damaging it, is not a knife at all
