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?

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