The highlight of this catalog is certainly<br />

the new kitchen knife series <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Patina. The forged blades, made of<br />

the carbon steel O1, are ground very<br />

thin and convince not only with an<br />

extremely appealing composition<br />

but also with incomparable cutting<br />

performance. Even after the first use,<br />

the high quality steel can be recognized<br />

by the gray-blue tarnishing of the<br />

blade, the patina, which then acts as a<br />

resistant, protective layer.<br />

HANDMADE SINCE 1869.<br />

Last year we were able to celebrate our<br />

150th anniversary with numerous loyal<br />

friends and business partners. We are<br />

now looking forward to the next 150<br />

years with a thirst for action.<br />

One quickly forgets that already in our<br />

founding year 1869 - in the supposedly<br />

“good old days” - the world was<br />

in a state of unprecedented upheaval.<br />

Thirteen years earlier, the first mailorder<br />

catalog had appeared in France,<br />

electric telegraphy, railways and<br />

steamships brought the world closer<br />

together and the first sound recording<br />

was less than a decade away.<br />

The promising possibilities in overseas<br />

export and the cooperation with cutlery<br />

factories in the USA, Canada and Mexico,<br />

which had previously been founded<br />

by members of the Böker family, were<br />

essential incentives for the foundation<br />

of Heinr. Böker & Co. in Solingen.<br />

Managing Owners Kirsten Schulz-Dalichow and Carsten Felix-Dalichow<br />

Dealing with challenges that seem<br />

modern today, such as globalization,<br />

networking and structural change, has<br />

therefore been firmly anchored in the<br />

DNA of our manufactory from the very<br />

beginning.<br />

With this in mind, the seventh revision<br />

of our logo is based on the very first<br />

trademark from 1869, which was a<br />

positive declaration of intent to a<br />

certain extent, and which contrasted<br />

a seemingly restless and chaotic<br />

historical situation with a clear and<br />

simple formal language.<br />

The stylized tree with the simple<br />

bordering line has now been taken<br />

up again and translated into a<br />

contemporary appearance. In the<br />

future you will recognize every product<br />

that leaves our factory by this new and<br />

yet familiar seal of quality.<br />

The showpiece of the new series is<br />

even more exclusive. The high class<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Patina Damascus chef's knife<br />

is limited to 50 pieces worldwide.<br />

The Wild Damascus is hand forged<br />

by Chad Nicols from Mississippi, and<br />

harmonizes perfectly with the handle,<br />

made of stabilized burl birch with brass<br />

rivets.<br />

Of course, the catalog can also boast<br />

many other novelties - a wide selection<br />

of innovative kitchen knives and<br />

accessories.<br />

We now wish you an enjoyable reading of<br />

our current catalog, <strong>Boker</strong> <strong>Knifestyle</strong> - <strong>2020</strong><br />

<strong>Edition</strong>.<br />

BOKER DAMASCUS<br />

07<br />

DAMASCUS STEEL<br />

A millennia-old blacksmith's art,<br />

which still develops its fascination<br />

today. While the forging of multi-layer<br />

steels originally served to produce<br />

the highest possible material quality,<br />

today's enthusiasm for Damascus<br />

steel is no longer based on technical<br />

demands, but rather on a passion for<br />

the material and its special charm,<br />

the fascination of which is hard to<br />

resist.<br />

In the production of classic, hand<br />

forged Damascus, at least two steels<br />

of different compositions are forged<br />

together.<br />

After forging, the steel piece is<br />

folded and forged again, doubling<br />

the number of layers. This process<br />

is now repeated until the desired<br />

number of layers is reached. By using<br />

steels with different properties, the<br />

quality of the Damascus steel can be<br />

significantly influenced - for example,<br />

a particularly hard steel can be<br />

combined with a particularly tough<br />

steel in order to achieve the best<br />

possible balance between hardness<br />

and cutting performance.<br />

The pattern of the Damascus steel<br />

is influenced by the forging and the<br />

number of layers on the one hand, but<br />

can also be produced in a targeted<br />

manner by additional stamping of<br />

the finished forged Damascus bar. By<br />

embossing the ingot using a stamping<br />

die with a specific pattern, the<br />

layers in the Damascus are shifted<br />

against each other. The embossing<br />

pattern appears as a structure in the<br />

Damascus when the blade is ground<br />

out of the embossed material.<br />

Visually, however, the pattern is<br />

hardly recognizable on the freshly<br />

ground blade; only through the final<br />

etching in a special acid, in which the<br />

two types of steel respond differently<br />

to the acid and tarnish darkly, does<br />

the pattern created by the structure<br />

come to the forefront, and unfold the<br />

true splendor of Damascus steel.<br />

In contrast to classic Damascus<br />

production, rust-bearing steels cannot<br />

be forged under normal circumstances.<br />

However, resourceful Damascus blade<br />

smiths have devised a method to<br />

circumvent this obstacle. The crucial<br />

point here is oxygen.<br />

While the classic, non-corrosive<br />

Damascus is forged and folded in a<br />

normal, open forge, the ambient air is<br />

the decisive factor in the case of noncorrosive<br />

Damascus – it prevents the<br />

forging of stainless steels. For this<br />

reason, in rust-bearing Damascus,<br />

pre-stacked layers of layers are<br />

forged together under vacuum.<br />

One of the most demanding forms<br />

of forging Damascus steel is Torsion<br />

Damascus. Here, in addition to the<br />

classic folding process, the material<br />

is also twisted, i.e. twisted into itself.<br />

This results in a very unique pattern,<br />

and the control of this forging process<br />

certainly requires the highest level of<br />

expertise.<br />

Torsion Damascus is also known, for<br />

example, from the few remaining<br />

swords from the Viking Age, in which<br />

the finest pieces were forged with the<br />

highest level of craftsmanship, which<br />

were also technically far superior to<br />

the standard swords of the time.<br />

The extremely complex forging process,<br />

with its characteristic pattern, still<br />

makes Torsion Damascus one of the<br />

most exclusive and rarely found<br />

Damascus variants today.

WOOD<br />

BOKER PATINA DAMASCUS<br />

Even if the Damascus blade of this exclusive model,<br />

which is limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, does<br />

not develop a visually perceptible patina after<br />

use, the affiliation to the <strong>Boker</strong> Patina kitchen<br />

knife series is unmistakable. In contrast to the<br />

models with blades made of carbon steel, the<br />

acid treatment and the (controlled) discoloration<br />

is already carried out during the manufacturing<br />

process, as this is the only way to make the<br />

different Damascus layers visible.<br />

The handle of this extraordinary chef's knife,<br />

in the classic Solingen three-rivet design, is<br />

in no way inferior to the blade in terms of<br />

appearance and function. With its lively grain,<br />

the handpicked, stabilized burl birch wood makes<br />

each knife truly unique. This extraordinary<br />

composition is completed with brass rivets.<br />

The premium Damascus with 180 layers is hand<br />

forged by Chad Nichols from Mississippi in<br />

the USA, one of the most renowned Damascus<br />

blade smiths in the world of knives.<br />

The fine, high contrast designs and the high<br />

suitability of the material for everyday use<br />

are not only appreciated by various knife<br />

manufacturers worldwide, but also by<br />

numerous custom knifemakers.<br />

However, with the forging of the high quality<br />

Damascus, the blade is still far from its final<br />

shape and finish. In the next step, the forged<br />

split piece is further processed in our drop<br />

forge in Solingen.<br />

After it has been heated there to a red heat, a<br />

two-tone ramrod beats it into shape in a massive<br />

mold. This mold, consisting of an upper and<br />

lower half, is the so-called drop forge. In the<br />

next step, the blade is soft-annealed, deburred<br />

and finally, calibrated.<br />

The resulting Wild Damascus pattern is as<br />

unique as a human fingerprint, and after its<br />

journey around the world is ready for new<br />

adventures - in your kitchen.

BOKER CORE DAMASCUS<br />

We are a modern and sustainable company with<br />

roots in an industry with a long regional history.<br />

Our region is the Bergisches Land, where blade<br />

production was established as early as the Middle<br />

Ages, thanks to two main factors. The dense<br />

forests supplied wood as a renewable resource<br />

that could be carbonized for forging. Many<br />

rivers running through narrow valleys – primarily<br />

the Wupper River – supplied easily accessible,<br />

renewable energy for grinding mills and smithies.<br />

Now, the Bergisches Land does not actually<br />

take its name from its mountainous topography<br />

("Berg" being German for "mountain"), but from<br />

the noble House von Berg. Their mighty counts<br />

left their mark on the region like no other dynasty,<br />

reaching all the way to the Rhineland. It is no<br />

accident that their ancestral seat of Burg Castle<br />

has become the landmark of the Bergisches Land.<br />

Thanks to our close relationship with the castle<br />

preservation association, Schlossbauverein Burg<br />

an der Wupper e.V., we were able to obtain a small<br />

amount of wood from the 100-year-old oak beams<br />

of this historic monument.<br />

built around the year 1130. From the top with its<br />

three wooden brattices, visitors have a panoramic<br />

view all the way to the neighboring town of<br />

Remscheid. A covered bridge connects the tower<br />

with the shield wall and wall walk. In medieval<br />

times, it was the only access to the tower.<br />

Today, the west side of the keep has an additional<br />

entrance to the ground floor. The archway bears a<br />

sandstone plate with information about the history<br />

of the mighty tower. In the past, the ground floor<br />

was called the dungeon, accessible only through an<br />

opening from the floor above and used as storage<br />

for stone balls. In case of an attack, the defenders<br />

of the keep would pelt attackers with the balls<br />

from the upper floors. The ground floor could<br />

hold up to 12 tons of stones. From the first floor,<br />

stairs in the outside walls, which are up to four<br />

meters thick, lead to the upper floors. We process<br />

pieces of the original oak beams of the keep at<br />

Burg Castle with all due respect and diligence to<br />

make handles for our <strong>Boker</strong> Core Damascus, an<br />

edition strictly limited to 199 pieces. The blade is<br />

truly special - the hand forged stainless Damascus<br />

has a breathtaking pattern and offers excellent<br />

resilience and hardness (60 HRC), which makes<br />

the <strong>Boker</strong> Core Damascus an exclusive collector's<br />

item and guarantees exceptional performance<br />

for all cutting tasks in the kitchen. In Solingen,<br />

the forged blade piece consisting of 300 layers<br />

of Damascus is brought to a red heat and dieforged<br />

into its beautiful shape by a drop hammer<br />

weighing two tons.<br />

What better way to express our respect for the<br />

history of our region and our craft than by referring<br />

to the Counts von Berg and their ancestral home?<br />

Each of these works of art comes in an elegant<br />

leather covered gift box with a certificate of<br />

authenticity and individual serial number.<br />

The wood was sourced from the so-called keep, the<br />

main tower of Burg Castle, which is an impressive<br />

105 feet tall. The foundation of the keep (46 ft. x<br />

36 ft.) was laid in the first building phase of the<br />

castle in the 12th century. The six-storied defense<br />

tower with living quarters was rebuilt in the early<br />

20th century, modeled after Romanesque towers

KNIFE<br />

Close to the headquarters of the <strong>Boker</strong><br />

Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, lies Burg<br />

Castle on the Wupper River - the landmark<br />

of the Bergisches Land. It is also one of the<br />

largest castles in western Germany and the<br />

largest reconstructed castle complex in North<br />

Rhine-Westphalia. Today, Burg Castle is used<br />

for a variety of cultural purposes, including as<br />

a museum, event venue and memorial.<br />

In order to be able to fully maintain this<br />

landmark in the future and renew the energy<br />

system, an extensive renovation program was<br />

begun in 2017 and is set to continue until<br />

2024. The renovation has enabled us to obtain<br />

an exclusive inventory of original 100-yearold<br />

oak beams from the mighty keep of Burg<br />

Castle.<br />

With great care and craftsmanship, we process<br />

these historic oak beams from the keep into<br />

handle scales for our successful kitchen knife<br />

<strong>Boker</strong> Saga, which is available in a strictly<br />

limited edition of 199 pieces. The design of<br />

the Saga series was created by Danish knife<br />

designer and renowned custom knifemaker<br />

Jesper Voxnæs, and has already won the iF-<br />

Product Design Award.<br />

also rather exclusive and historic, we selected<br />

the handforged stainless Damascus steel<br />

made by Chad Nichols from Mississippi. This<br />

premium Damascus boasts 200 layers and a<br />

Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC, as well as the<br />

Damascus pattern "Fade," with its fine, high<br />

contrast lines.<br />

While classic, non-stainless Damascus can<br />

be forged and folded in an open forge,<br />

the prepared layer packages of stainless<br />

Damascus must be forged with great effort in<br />

the vacuum. Damascus steel products forged<br />

by Chad Nichols are known for their exclusive<br />

look in the kitchen and, more importantly,<br />

for the excellent edge retention and everyday<br />

functionality of the beautiful material.<br />

Let this unique composition fascinate you!<br />

With a knife from this strictly limited edition,<br />

With the successful cutlery series <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus<br />

Black, we present kitchen knives with a stunning<br />

look and feel, and above-average performance.<br />

The best of two worlds: A traditional Japanese<br />

chef's knife - handmade in Solingen, Germany.<br />

Not only do many top chefs swear by Japanese<br />

kitchen knives - they are also becoming<br />

increasingly popular with ambitious home cooks.<br />

The merits of a knife with Japanese handles<br />

and the traditional construction of a blade with<br />

stainless steel ferrule are obvious, because<br />

delicate foods can be cut and cooked very gently.<br />

When chopping herbs, for example, the very fine<br />

cut leaves hardly any essential oils. Flavors are<br />

not lost, and the unwanted tears when chopping<br />

onions can also be avoided. The perceived<br />

sharpness when cutting is breathtaking, and<br />

makes cooking an experience.<br />

The secret of the unusual sharpness lies in the<br />

material and its processing. The blade consists<br />

of 37 layers of Damascus steel. The premium<br />

blade steel VG-10, made in Japan, is used for<br />

the core, and is characterized by a high degree<br />

of hardness, toughness and a homogeneous<br />

crystalline structure.<br />

In a direct comparison of the cutting performance<br />

with a product of an established Solingen<br />

kitchen knife manufacturer according to DIN EN<br />

ISO 8442-5, the series <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus Black are<br />

not only superior in the proverbial sense - the<br />

cutting performance of our knives is more than<br />

68% higher than that of the competitor's product<br />

in the representative DIN test. In addition, the<br />

series <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus Black convinces by an<br />

initial sharpness that is far superior, making<br />

frequent re-sharpening a thing of the past.<br />

The handle material is black plywood, which, due<br />

to its beautiful and dramatic color, emphasizes<br />

the finely matted stainless steel ferrules and<br />

the splendid grain of the razor-sharp Damascus<br />

blade. <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus Black means cooking<br />

with style. Available in eight practical sizes and<br />

shapes, for every cutting chore in the kitchen, and<br />

delivered in an attractive presentation box.<br />

BOKER CARBON STEEL<br />

BOKER CARBON STEEL<br />

The classic carbon steel still has its<br />

raison d'être in the age of ultra modern<br />

powder metallurgical steels.<br />

Many users appreciate not only the<br />

traditional aspect offered by carbon<br />

steel, but also the combination of<br />

cutting performance and easy resharpening<br />

that stainless steels have<br />

never achieved. This property and the<br />

very fine microstructure make carbon<br />

steel a real alternative to chromium<br />

steels for many cutting tools, even<br />

today.<br />

Carbon steels are still unsurpassed,<br />

especially for blades where the finest<br />

possible cutting edge is required, such<br />

as razors.<br />

But outdoor enthusiasts also appreciate<br />

the fact that a carbon steel blade can<br />

be brought back to a good sharpness<br />

on a river rock in an emergency. In<br />

the kitchen, too, particularly finely<br />

ground carbon steel blades, with their<br />

unsurpassed cutting capabilities, are a<br />

real pleasure.<br />

With a little care, a carbon steel blade<br />

has the same life expectancy as a<br />

stainless blade. In the kitchen, it is<br />

usually sufficient to rinse the blade<br />

under hot running water after use.<br />

What you should avoid is leaving the<br />

used blade lying around for a long time<br />

without cleaning it.<br />

Since the dishwasher is also a taboo for<br />

stainless steel kitchen knives, this also<br />

applies to carbon steel blades.<br />

Knives with carbon steel blades should<br />

not be stored in a leather sheath, for<br />

example, as leather sheaths normally<br />

contain tannic acids that can attack the<br />

carbon steel.<br />

A completely natural material property<br />

is the formation of a patina when the<br />

knife is used. A gray-blue tarnishing<br />

of the blade is completely normal, and<br />

in no way constitutes a defect. On the<br />

contrary, the resulting patina (oxide<br />

layer) forms a protective layer on the<br />

blade, which increases its resistance to<br />

external influences.<br />

This patina often becomes visible after<br />

the first use, and cannot be removed.<br />

The expert immediately recognizes the<br />

high quality carbon steel from this. In<br />

principle, this also applies to Damascus<br />

blades forged from classic carbon steels.<br />

1 BOKER CAMELLIA OIL<br />

This high quality, pure camellia oil<br />

is made according to a traditional<br />

Chinese recipe, and has many uses.<br />

The thin oil is extracted from the<br />

seed of the camellia tree, is taste<br />

neutral, odorless, and does not dry.<br />

The camellia oil is food safe and<br />

impresses with its special purity.<br />

Corrosion protection<br />

The acid-free, non-resinous, and<br />

non-evaporating camellia oil is<br />

traditionally used to protect from<br />

corrosion in the care of high quality<br />

knife blades made from carbon steel,<br />

as well as tools and weapons. It<br />

is purely organic and perfect for<br />

preserving non-stainless kitchen<br />

knives and straight razors as – in<br />

contrast to other care oils – does not<br />

form an emulsion with water.<br />

Wood protection<br />

The low-viscosity oil quickly absorbs<br />

into the wood and protects from<br />

moisture, dirt, and UV radiation.<br />

Camellia oil is clear, does not discolor<br />

the wood, and brings out the grain<br />

beautifully. Outstanding for the care<br />

of high quality straight razor handles<br />

and kitchen knife handles made from<br />

fine woods.<br />

60 HRC SATIN<br />

CHESTNUT<br />

PATINA [ˈpaːtina]<br />

Patina (Ital. "thin layer,” "varnish")<br />

is a surface (structure and color)<br />

created by natural or artificial aging.<br />

Not only since sustainability,<br />

handmade products and local<br />

patriotism became social trends,<br />

these topics have been inevitably<br />

connected with <strong>Boker</strong> DNA. Our<br />

lifetime warranty, as well as our<br />

high vertical range of manufacture,<br />

have distinguished us since our<br />

beginnings in 1869.<br />

Products that outlast decades<br />

and can be passed on to future<br />

generations are welcome to look<br />

at their age and past. These traces<br />

of use do not diminish their value,<br />

but are an expression of quality,<br />

uniqueness and history.<br />

The patina which our new chef's<br />

knife series <strong>Boker</strong> Patina takes<br />

on after only a short time, due to<br />

contact with acidic food, does not<br />

represent a quality defect at all.<br />

On the contrary, the dark color,<br />

which develops during oxidation<br />

through contact with a combination<br />

of cut goods and water, serves as a<br />

protective layer and thus increases<br />

the resistance against external<br />

influences.<br />

The fine structure of the carbon<br />

steel O1, in combination with the<br />

particularly thinly ground blade,<br />

guarantees excellent cutting<br />

performance and superior cutting<br />

properties.<br />

Quality is not only in the materials<br />

used, but also in the production<br />

process. The forging in the Solingen<br />

die and the further processing by<br />

hand make each knife truly unique.<br />

The composition of the <strong>Boker</strong> Patina<br />

series is completed by the use of<br />

brass rivets and an extraordinary<br />

handle, crafted of stabilized,<br />

solid birch wood. This exclusive,<br />

handpicked handle material boasts<br />

a lively, flame-like grain, similar<br />

to some of the highest quality root<br />

woods available.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Patina series in the classic<br />

three-rivet design consists of three<br />

models with carbon steel blades,<br />

as well as an exclusive chef's knife<br />

made of hand forged Damascus.

CHESTNUT<br />

BOKER CORE ANNIVERSARY 150<br />

Naturally, we want to celebrate our 150th<br />

anniversary with another special edition,<br />

based on our successful line of kitchen<br />

knives, <strong>Boker</strong> Core. In the 17th century, a<br />

huge chestnut tree used to provide welcome<br />

shade for the small tool manufactory in<br />

Remscheid owned by the <strong>Boker</strong> family. It is<br />

well known that this tree inspired the name<br />

of the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory and the worldfamous<br />

corporate logo.<br />

Paying homage to the beginning of our<br />

company's history 150 years ago, this<br />

model features a handle made from smoked<br />

chestnut wood. With its dark color and<br />

subtle pattern, the material emphasizes<br />

the elegant design and exclusive nature<br />

of the knife. The die-forged blade is<br />

made from O1 carbon steel, which offers<br />

superior characteristics and excellent edge<br />

retention - the perfect material for high<br />

quality kitchen knives. Even in the age of<br />

state-of-the-art powder metallurgical steel,<br />

classic non-stainless carbon steel still has<br />

its raison d'être.<br />

Many users appreciate the traditional aspect<br />

of carbon steel, as well as the combination<br />

of edge retention and easy sharpening, never<br />

quite achieved by stainless steel. For blades<br />

requiring an extremely fine edge, e.g. razor<br />

blades, carbon steel is still a matchless choice.<br />

In the kitchen, it is truly a joy to work with<br />

a fine edged carbon steel blade that offers<br />

unsurpassed cutting properties. With a little<br />

care, a blade made from carbon steel has the<br />

same service life as a stainless blade. In the<br />

kitchen, you simply have to rinse the blade<br />

under hot running water after each use.<br />

One completely natural property of the<br />

material is the patina that will develop over<br />

time, especially after cutting acidic food. It is<br />

absolutely normal for the blade to take on a<br />

grayish blue hue, which is not a flaw. On the<br />

contrary, the patina (oxide layer) protects the<br />

blade and makes it more resistant to outside<br />

conditions. The patina often develops after<br />

the first use and cannot be removed. For the<br />

expert, it is a sure sign of high quality carbon<br />

steel.<br />

In addition, the blade features two-tone<br />

etching with the historic <strong>Boker</strong> tree etched in<br />

gold. Providing a strong contrast and elegant<br />

appearance, the inscription is etched in deep<br />

black. The elaborate blade etching process<br />

according to Solingen tradition is reserved for<br />

the finest, most exclusive knives, highlighting<br />

the special status of this anniversary edition<br />

in our product range.<br />

All knives in this series are handcrafted in<br />

Solingen and strictly limited to 150 pieces<br />

worldwide. Each knife has an individual<br />

serial number and comes with a certificate<br />

of authenticity, packaged in an exclusive<br />

anniversary box.

BOKER HANDMADE KITCHEN KNIVES<br />

31<br />

HANDMADE KITCHEN KNIVES<br />

Since 1869, the famous knives with the<br />

worldwide known <strong>Boker</strong> tree mark have<br />

been handmade in the blade city of<br />

Solingen. Depending on the series and<br />

type of construction, up to 80 different<br />

steps are necessary to finish a knife in our<br />

manufactory. A chef's knife passes through<br />

about ten internal departments.<br />

Before the production of a new knife can be<br />

started for the first time, the product idea<br />

is digitally designed with the help of CAD<br />

software. A simple hand sketch by our knife<br />

designers and custom knifemakers often<br />

forms the basis for an initial design drawing.<br />

For forged knives, the raw material is then<br />

cut into slit pieces, heated to red heat and<br />

beaten into shape in a massive die with the<br />

help of a two-ton ramrod. The blades of the<br />

non-forged chef's knives are punched from<br />

steel plates or cut out by laser or water jet<br />

technology.<br />

The intended purpose and the shape can<br />

already be clearly seen from the blade<br />

blanks. In the hardening shop, the blade<br />

undergoes thermal treatment. The steel<br />

must be as hard as possible for the required<br />

cutting performance on the one hand, and<br />

tough enough not to break during use on<br />

the other. The blade is then ground with<br />

appropriate cooling.<br />

Bent on the grinding stand, the next<br />

production step is carried out by genuine<br />

Solingen craftsmanship. The back is ground,<br />

the transition from blade to tang is cleaned<br />

and finally, the unique Solingen blue plating<br />

is applied. All Damascus steel knives are<br />

then etched, so that the different layers of<br />

steel can be distinguished, i.e. accentuated.<br />

The handle department stores the wood of a<br />

wide variety of trees, including many native<br />

species, but also 5,000-year-old bog oak<br />

and rare root woods. These are cut by our<br />

master carpenter into so-called scantlings<br />

on a circular table saw and then further<br />

processed by hand on a milling machine.<br />

The milled scantlings are then married to<br />

the blades in the reiding mill. Depending on<br />

the type of construction, this is done using<br />

rivets, hollow rivets or extremely durable<br />

adhesive joints.<br />

The most impressive transformation of the<br />

unfinished knife takes place in the buffing<br />

department. All edges, protruding rivets,<br />

protruding glue and scratches are skillfully<br />

shaped in countless work steps on belts and<br />

grinding wheels with different grit sizes.<br />

Apart from the sharp cutting edge, the<br />

knife gets its final shape aesthetically and<br />

functionally.<br />

Finally, the knives are meticulously checked<br />

with an experienced eye in the final<br />

inspection. Only absolutely faultless and<br />

flawless specimens are then sharpened by<br />

hand, marked with our hand proof, checked<br />

again, then cleaned and packed.<br />

Each design has its own tradition and<br />

justification and at the same time different<br />

advantages in production, handling and<br />

application. One thing, however, unites<br />

the <strong>Boker</strong> kitchen knives presented here<br />

despite all the differences – they are all<br />

exceptional, superior kitchen knives, which<br />

you will not voluntarily put down. According<br />

to your individual and personal preferences<br />

regarding design, weight, ergonomics and<br />

balance, you will certainly find what you are<br />

looking for with us.

CPM-154<br />

SATIN<br />

OAK<br />

BOKER PURE CPM<br />

Danish design emerged as a style in the<br />

middle of the 20th century, strongly<br />

influenced by the ideas of the German<br />

Bauhaus. This design movement developed<br />

its own no-nonsense look characterized by<br />

simple formalism, minimalism, clarity and<br />

functionality, as well as by the use of<br />

cutting edge industrial technology in the<br />

realization of this design vocabulary. This is<br />

the tradition of Danish designer and custom<br />

knifemaker Jens Ansø, who designed the<br />

kitchen knife series <strong>Boker</strong> Pure following<br />

these exact design principles.<br />

The knives have unique, classically simple<br />

lines and offer excellent balance, handle<br />

ergonomics and functionality. This<br />

minimalistic design is highlighted with the<br />

use of "Bergische Eiche," a regional oak<br />

wood, for the handles. The pleasing pattern<br />

of the elaborately finished oak wood is only<br />

interrupted by three understated stainless<br />

steel rivets, which are applied with great<br />

care in a completely manual process.<br />

In order to match the aesthetic quality of<br />

the series with its technical properties, we<br />

use the powder metallurgical steel CPM-154,<br />

made by the American manufacturer Crucible<br />

Industries. This steel is made by melting the<br />

already excellent base steel 154-CM in order<br />

to add more carbides.<br />

CPM-154<br />

The steel is then atomized in a vacuum and<br />

quenched with a cold air jet. The resulting<br />

steel powder is pressed and sintered below<br />

melting temperature. This process makes<br />

it possible to give the steel a much higher<br />

carbide concentration than regular blade<br />

steel; and the carbides give the steel<br />

additional hardness and edge retention.<br />

The bar graph (left) shows the edge retention<br />

compared to an established, popular kitchen<br />

knife steel, the chromium-molybdenumvanadium<br />

steel X50CrMoV15, as well as<br />

to the excellent 440C. The superior edge<br />

retention of the 440C is far surpassed by the<br />

powder metallurgical steel CPM-154, which<br />

is a guarantee for a sharp knife that keeps<br />

its edge for a very long time.<br />

The Pure Series has truly set new limits and<br />

is, with its puristic and functional design<br />

concept and high end materials, the new eye<br />

catcher in your kitchen.<br />

What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and<br />

Lüneburg have in common?<br />

Apart from<br />

a historic city center, landmarks that are<br />

famous beyond the borders of the region and<br />

a long standing tradition as important trade<br />

cities, they share another important aspect:<br />

these cities are the homes of excellent cutlery<br />

retailers, who have built their outstanding<br />

reputation over many years by means of their<br />

extensive selection and first rate expertise.<br />

We harnessed their decades of experience,<br />

excellent know-how and finely honed<br />

everyday sense for the requirements and<br />

needs of cooking and kitchen enthusiasts in<br />

our product development of the <strong>Boker</strong> Core<br />

series, combined with our almost 150 years of<br />

experience as a Solingen Knife Manufactory.<br />

The result is a product with dynamic lines,<br />

excellent handling and breathtaking cutting<br />

capability that earned the quality rating<br />

"recommended by leading retailers."<br />

The solid blade blank, made from a chromiummolybdenum-vanadium<br />

alloy (X50CrMoV15),<br />

perfectly suited for making premium<br />

kitchen knives, is handforged with Solingen<br />

craftsmanship, structurally optimized and<br />

then hardened to 58 HRC. In order to give<br />

the blade a longer service life and even finer<br />

cut, our traditional hand grind is then highly<br />

polished.<br />

"I'm particularly impressed with the absolute<br />

focus on functionality in the <strong>Boker</strong> Core<br />

kitchen knife series. The design is very<br />

pleasing – not too elaborate – and has a clean<br />

and flush connection of the forged bolster<br />

and the walnut handle, which also meets our<br />

hygiene requirements."<br />

Jörg Lamskemper<br />

Head of the Craft Guild Messerschmiede-Innung<br />

Schneidwerkzeugmechanikermeister<br />

Carl Herlitzius GmbH & Co. KG, Münster<br />

The forged bolster ensures a secure grip<br />

and protects the user from possible injuries<br />

in case of a slip. A special design feature<br />

of all knives in this series is the gently<br />

rounded spine. This makes the knife easy<br />

and pleasant to handle in any position and<br />

prevents unpleasant pressure on the hand<br />

– even if strong pressure is applied to the<br />

spine, while executing a rock chop, for<br />

instance. The perfectly proportioned handles<br />

round out the cohesive and appealing look,<br />

and are available in finely grained walnut,<br />

or durable synthetic, in our Core Professional<br />

Series.<br />

"Domestic wood types like the walnut used<br />

in this series are becoming more and more<br />

popular and can be found in many trendy<br />

kitchen accessories. We support the use of<br />

local materials and products that are still made<br />

with traditional Solingen craftsmanship."<br />

BOKER SAGA<br />

BLADE MATERIAL DESIGNED BY HARDNESS BLADE FINISH HANDLE MATERIAL HANDMADE IN LIFETIME WARRANTY<br />

440 C 58 HRC STONEWASH GRENADILL<br />

THE FORM — SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN<br />

The substance is nothing if its superior<br />

potential is not used in the appropriate form.<br />

Scandinavians are known for a straightforward,<br />

clear and, above all, highly functional design.<br />

The custom principle of "form follows function"<br />

is consistently implemented in Scandinavian<br />

design. And our partner, Danish knifemaker and<br />

designer Jesper Voxnæs, has been working hard<br />

at this for more than 20 years.<br />

Our decades-long experience in manufacturing<br />

outdoor knives and the creativity of knifemaker<br />

Jesper Voxnæs combine to present the concept<br />

and design of the Saga series, setting a new<br />

standard in cutting and ergonomics. The<br />

transfer of the design into the culinary sector<br />

guarantees that working with the Saga has<br />

become a unique event - the <strong>Boker</strong> Saga chef's<br />

knife was awarded the iF Product Design Award<br />

in 2013.<br />

THE SURFACE — SLICK AND<br />

ROBUST<br />

The finish is key. It crowns the knife both<br />

aesthetically and functionally. For the Saga<br />

G10 series, the optimized cutting performance<br />

is not only guaranteed by the full flat grind<br />

of the 440C blade, but also by the surface<br />

finish, which is achieved in a specialized<br />

grinding process, and is characterized by<br />

outstanding gliding properties through the<br />

cutting material, thus enhancing the already<br />

superior cutting performance.<br />

For the Saga Grenadill series we offer, for the<br />

first time in the sector of kitchen cutlery, a<br />

stonewash finish. This special finishing method<br />

upgrades the existing cutting performance, as<br />

well as providing extreme resistance against<br />

scratches, with the micro structure of the<br />

finish. This tried and true finish has been used<br />

in outdoor sector for years.<br />

The handle scales of the <strong>Boker</strong> Saga knife are<br />

a typical feature of outdoor knives that you<br />

ordinarily would not see on a kitchen knife.<br />

Mankind's oldest tool was invented for<br />

life in nature - we also perfected it for the<br />

needs of our time.<br />

Our <strong>Boker</strong> Saga series with G10<br />

handles and satin finished<br />

blades is also still available!<br />

BOKER FORGE<br />

This innovative kitchen knife series from <strong>Boker</strong><br />

combines innovative and dynamic designs with<br />

a classic material selection, at a premium quality<br />

level.<br />

The concept of this series comes from <strong>Boker</strong>'s<br />

long-standing tradition of manufacturing<br />

outdoor knives of the highest quality and<br />

superior functionality.<br />

The attractive, eye catching design lines<br />

distinguish this series significantly from the<br />

masses of average kitchen knives, without being<br />

too flashy.<br />

The blade geometry and the dynamic and<br />

functional design of the solid bolster and end cap<br />

guarantee, in combination with the flat grinding<br />

of the blades and razor sharp edge, 100% cutting<br />

performance.<br />

These knives are perfectly balanced, and are<br />

made of specially tempered high carbon steel to<br />

ensure outstanding strength. The ergonomically<br />

designed handle offers a comfortable and secure<br />

grip for effortless cutting.<br />

The handle scales are connected to the full<br />

tang with three flush stainless steel rivets, and<br />

are available in elegant maple wood or durable<br />

synthetic.<br />

The blade and bolster design allows easy resharpening<br />

and provides long-term cutting<br />

performance when used properly (hand wash<br />

recommended).<br />

Each knife comes packaged in a high quality gift<br />

box. Also available with a matching knife block,<br />

which is equally innovative and impressive, with<br />

its solid construction. The Forge block sets are<br />

shown on page 56.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> Forge Series offers an outstanding<br />

price-performance ratio, and is sure to fit all of<br />

your kitchen needs with superior style.

Matching the innovative and advanced Damascus<br />

knife series from <strong>Boker</strong>, we developed an<br />

innovative concept for a knife block, which<br />

simultaneously holds and presents up to seven<br />

kitchen knives. The block consists of seven<br />

panels, made of wood, which contain strong<br />

magnets. Six panels form a semi circle, and<br />

a seventh panel in the center, all mounted on<br />

a solid wooden base plate, allow a safe and<br />

decorative storage of seven high quality kitchen<br />

knives of all standard size. The annoying<br />

"guessing and fishing" for the right knife will<br />

never happen again. The innovative <strong>Boker</strong> wood<br />

knife block provides for easy handling, simple<br />

cleaning without any slots, and holds your<br />

kitchen knives ready for use at all times. A real<br />

eye-catcher for your kitchen. Made in Europe.<br />

KNIFE SHARPENING<br />

63<br />

KNIFE SHARPENING<br />

The knife is humankind's oldest tool.<br />

The need for sharp blades is just as<br />

old and still very pressing today.<br />

According to a survey, more than 90%<br />

of German households use dull knives.<br />

Even though everybody uses knives in<br />

the kitchen, the subject of sharpening<br />

knives is still shrouded in mystery.<br />

For many people, sharpening and<br />

honing are unfamiliar territory - skills<br />

ascribed only to an elite circle of select<br />

specialists who use secret methods<br />

to make dull knives sharp again; it is<br />

almost like magic.<br />

However, there's really no wizardry<br />

involved. If you find the method that<br />

is right for you, you can restore the<br />

edge of your own knives to exquisite<br />

sharpness without a problem. One<br />

more thing about manual sharpening<br />

- there is an old adage saying that<br />

things done quickly are not worth<br />

much. If something is worth doing, it<br />

is worth doing slowly. A good manual<br />

sharpening process always takes a little<br />

more time. A manual knife sharpener<br />

who is primarily advertising his high<br />

speed will never be able to offer the<br />

desired result that can be achieved<br />

with the methods described below.<br />

Today, machine sharpening has become<br />

a good, practical alternative. A vast<br />

variety of home sharpening tools are<br />

available, but our experience has<br />

shown that machines with sharpening<br />

belts achieve a far superior quality of<br />

the finished product than machines<br />

working with grinding wheels.<br />

We hope that our overview on the<br />

the "mystery" out of the subject of<br />

sharpening knives and motivate you to<br />

take a closer look at this practical and<br />

useful skill.

WHETSTONES<br />

SHARPENING<br />

Of course, modern technology is catching up<br />

with the subject of sharpening, but many of the<br />

"experts" on this subject are traditionalists. And<br />

that usually means: you use stones.<br />

Such stones can be very different in nature; they<br />

can be natural stones, synthetically produced, or<br />

even hybrids. Stones are generally not used dry.<br />

Depending on the stone, you need water (such as<br />

Japanese water stones, which need to be watered,<br />

or the Belgian Chunks, which only moisturizes<br />

the surface), or oil, as in the centuries-proven<br />

Arkansas stones.<br />

While the oil in the oil stone only has the task<br />

of ensuring the sliding on the stone and wash<br />

away worn steel particles from the stone, the<br />

water forms a grinding sludge, especially in the<br />

Japanese water stones, which is instrumental in<br />

sharpening.<br />

Especially for very fine cutting, the highest<br />

qualities of the Arkansas oil stones have<br />

tremendous potential, but here as well, it's<br />

generally a matter of personal preference.<br />

There are different methods of sharpening with<br />

the bench stone - some prefer a circular motion<br />

or "8" trajectory with the edge (i.e. with the<br />

spine of the blade ahead), sharpening one side<br />

of the blade until a burr emerges and then<br />

changing sides. In particular, in the case of the<br />

fine print, the respective mutual pull against the<br />

cutting edge (i.e. with the cutting edge ahead) is<br />

a popular method. And as so often in life, there<br />

is not one correct method here - trying out and<br />

finding the personally preferred method is the<br />

way to go.<br />

When sharpening, it is essential to maintain the<br />

correct angle. When sharpening on the stone, on<br />

the one hand, it has to be determined correctly and,<br />

on the other hand, to be constantly maintained<br />

during the entire sharpening process, which of<br />

course requires some practice and experience.<br />

If you appreciate the traditional method but are<br />

open to more modern materials, you can of course<br />

also consider ceramic or diamond coated bench<br />

stones. While the handling is identical to water<br />

or oil stones, it can usually be dispensed with oil<br />

or water, and the wide range of grits also offers<br />

all options.<br />

It is important that after creating a burr, depending<br />

on the grinding method, it is removed cleanly.<br />

For this purpose, a leather strop will do, which,<br />

possibly also treated with abrasive paste, represent<br />

the final step and the cutting edge "meets the<br />

finishing touch."<br />

The finely tapered edge that can bend when<br />

coming in contact with a bone or a hard cutting<br />

surface is straightened with a sharpening steel.<br />

The knife is carefully placed on the steel and<br />

pulled across on alternating sides with light<br />

pressure and with the spine first (important!).<br />

This straightens the bent edge and refreshes the<br />

knife's cutting power.<br />

The steel should not be confused with its similar<br />

half-brother, the rod sharpener. Though they<br />

look very similar, the difference is that the rod<br />

sharpener is made with abrasive materials, such<br />

as ceramic, synthetic ruby or diamond-coated<br />

steel. Since these rods are used for sharpening,<br />

they are also handled differently.<br />

Perfect for quick touch-up sharpening, the<br />

sharpener is used by pulling the knife along<br />

the rod, edge first, until the desired level of<br />

sharpness is reached. Unlike the steel, the rod<br />

sharpener does take material off the edge; this<br />

is a true sharpening process. You need to know<br />

that neither of the two tools is suitable for<br />

replacing the function of the other.<br />

This sharpener, made of synthetic ruby, is 20 times harder than hardened steel (20,000<br />

Knoop hardness, which is roughly a 200 hardness in Rockwell units)! The most<br />

unusual aspect of this sharpener is the high efficiency (taking less time for sharpening),<br />

in combination with an extraordinarily fine edge, allowing superior edge retention. In<br />

addition, this sharpener will last longer than a diamond sharpener, as it is not a coated<br />

instrument but one of bulk material. Can be used either wet or dry, and can be simply<br />

cleaned with a dish sponge. Length: 8.00".<br />

SABRAGE<br />

The tradition of opening a Champagne bottle<br />

with a saber was born in the Napoleonic<br />

era. The "sabrage" with the Briquet saber<br />

was founded in 1812 by the general himself<br />

after winning a battle. This unique custom<br />

has survived to this day, and not only in<br />

France. It is a special highlight at any festive<br />

occasion. When done correctly, it generally<br />

works without issue. After the wire basket is<br />

removed from the cork, one drives the blade<br />

of the saber along the bottleneck and onto the<br />

thickening of the neck below the bottle head.<br />

The whole bottle head comes off with a bang<br />

and the Champagne flows out. Any resulting<br />

glass fragments fly forward, propelled by the<br />

pressure. The torn off bottle head with the<br />

cork will be labeled with the date and will<br />

then serve as a reminder of the celebration or<br />

as a talisman.

CURRENT RESIDENT -or-<br />

Cooking with friends and family is becoming more<br />

and more popular. In the kitchen or outdoors,<br />

cooking and eating together is a defining moment<br />

of community. The compact, shortened kitchen<br />

knives SanYouGo and ChefYouGo by <strong>Boker</strong> Plus<br />

are perfect for use outside of your own kitchen.<br />

Jesper Voxnæs reduced the classic knife formats<br />

to the essentials, shortening the handles in<br />

particular. The blades, made from high quality<br />

440C, are also noticeably shorter compared to<br />

classic kitchen knives. The SanYouGo was made<br />

from the essence of a Santoku, while the classic<br />

chef's knife was the source of inspiration for the<br />

ChefYouGo. The blades of these two extremely<br />

compact and flexible models are finely satined,<br />

while the scales consist of black G10 with a red<br />

fiber layer. Leather sheath included.<br />

1 BOKER PLUS CHEFYOUGO<br />

Compared to the SanYouGo, the blade of this<br />

model is a little longer. In order to keep the<br />

right balance, the dimensions of the handle are<br />

slightly more generous as well - which doesn't<br />

at all diminish the compact and flexible qualities<br />

of this concept! Blade length: 4.50". Overall<br />

length: 7.50". Weight: 4.1 oz.<br />

2 BOKER PLUS SANYOUGO<br />

The classic Santoku grip, in which thumb and<br />

index finger are placed quite far out on the<br />

blade, is perfect for the short handle that curves<br />

into the palm and is held by the middle and<br />

ring finger. This concept provides outstanding<br />

cutting control! Blade length: 3.38". Overall<br />

length: 5.62". Weight: 2.5 oz.<br />
