CHEF'S KNIFE
Close to the headquarters of the
Boker Manufactory in Solingen,
Germany, lies Burg Castle on the
Wupper River - the landmark of the
Bergisches Land. It is also one of the
largest castles in western Germany
and the largest reconstructed castle
complex in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Today, Burg Castle is used for
a variety of cultural purposes,
including as a museum, event venue
and memorial.
In order to be able to fully maintain
this landmark in the future and
renew the energy system, an
extensive renovation program was
begun in 2017 and is set to continue
until 2024. The renovation has
enabled us to obtain an exclusive
inventory of original 100-year-old
oak beams from the mighty keep of
Burg Castle.
With great care and craftsmanship,
we process these historic oak beams
from the keep into handle scales for
our successful kitchen knife Boker
Saga, which is available in a strictly
limited edition of 199 pieces. The
design of the Saga series was
created by Danish knife designer
and renowned custom knifemaker
Jesper Voxnæs, and has already won
the iF-Product Design Award.
The knife offers excellent handle
ergonomics, is perfectly balanced
and can handle all cutting tasks
with ease, due to the sturdy
full tang. To complement the
handle material, which is not only
beautifully patterned but also rather
exclusive and historic, we selected
the handforged stainless Damascus
steel made by Chad Nichols
from Mississippi. This premium
Damascus boasts 200 layers and
a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC,
as well as the Damascus pattern
"Fade," with its fine, high contrast
lines.
While classic, non-stainless
Damascus can be forged and folded
in an open forge, the prepared layer
packages of stainless Damascus
must be forged with great effort
in the vacuum. Damascus steel
products forged by Chad Nichols
are known for their exclusive look in
the kitchen and, more importantly,
for the excellent edge retention
and everyday functionality of the
beautiful material.
Let this unique composition
fascinate you! With a knife from
this strictly limited edition, a piece
of history will live on in your kitchen.
Each of these works of art comes in
an elegant leather covered gift box
with a certificate of authenticity and
individual serial number.
