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.
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.

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.
