"Kramer initially sold his knives in the conventional fashion: $150 for an 8-inch chef's knife in 1995, $125–$225 in 2000, $475 in 2008. After a 2008 article in Cook's Illustrated that deemed his 8-inch chef's knife to have "outperformed every knife we've ever rated"[1] Kramer began selling by a waiting list. Finally, As of 2017, the knives are sold by auction only. At auction a new handmade knife by Kramer cost $30,000 in 2015, as much as 100 mass-produced knives mass-produced with similar materials to his specifications.

A handmade blade by Kramer was displayed as part of a juried art exhibition at Bellevue Arts Museum in 2016–2017.[6] His knives are especially known for their fine Damascus steel patterns and exotic wood handles and "heirloom quality" polishing and finishing.[5] Chef Christopher Kimball has called a Kramer chef's knife his "most prized tool"."
