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-yearold
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.
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.
