What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and
Lüneburg have in common? Apart from
a historic city center, landmarks that are
famous beyond the borders of the region
and a long standing tradition as important
trade cities, they share another important
aspect: these cities are the homes of
excellent cutlery retailers, who have built
their outstanding reputation over many
years by means of their extensive selection
and first rate expertise.
We harnessed their decades of experience,
excellent know-how and finely honed
everyday sense for the requirements and
needs of cooking and kitchen enthusiasts
in our product development of the Boker
Core series, combined with our almost
150 years of experience as a Solingen
Knife Manufactory. The result is a product
with dynamic lines, excellent handling and
breathtaking cutting capability that earned
the quality rating “recommended by leading
retailers.”
The solid blade blank, made from a
chromium-molybdenum-vanadium
alloy
(X50CrMoV15), perfectly suited for making
premium kitchen knives, is handforged
with Solingen craftsmanship, structurally
optimized and then hardened to 58 HRC. In
order to give the blade a longer service life
and even finer cut, our traditional hand grind
is then highly polished.
“I’m particularly impressed with the
absolute focus on functionality in the Boker
Core kitchen knife series. The design is
very pleasing – not too elaborate – and has
a clean and flush connection of the forged
bolster and the walnut handle, which also
meets our hygiene requirements.”
Jörg Lamskemper,
Head of the Craft Guild Messerschmiede-Innung
Schneidwerkzeugmechanikermeister
Carl Herlitzius GmbH & Co. KG, Münster
The forged bolster ensures a secure grip
and protects the user from possible injuries
in case of a slip. A special design feature
of all knives in this series is the gently
rounded spine. This makes the knife easy
and pleasant to handle in any position
and prevents unpleasant pressure on the
hand – even if strong pressure is applied
to the spine, while executing a rock chop,
for instance. The perfectly proportioned
handles round out the cohesive and
appealing look, and are available in finely
grained walnut, or durable synthetic, in our
Core Professional Series.
“Domestic wood types like the walnut
used in this series are becoming more and
more popular and can be found in many
trendy kitchen accessories. We support
the use of local materials and products
that are still made with traditional Solingen
craftsmanship.”
Oliver Gayer,
Head of the Craft Guild Messerschmiede-
Innung Nordbayern; sworn expert at
Schneidwerkzeugmechanikerhandwerk
