BOKER CORE ANNIVERSARY 150
Naturally, we want to celebrate our 150th
anniversary with another special edition,
based on our successful line of kitchen
knives, Boker Core. In the 17th century, a
huge chestnut tree used to provide welcome
shade for the small tool manufactory in
Remscheid owned by the Boker family. It is
well known that this tree inspired the name
of the Boker Manufactory and the worldfamous
corporate logo.
Paying homage to the beginning of our
company's history 150 years ago, this
model features a handle made from smoked
chestnut wood. With its dark color and
subtle pattern, the material emphasizes
the elegant design and exclusive nature
of the knife. The die-forged blade is
made from O1 carbon steel, which offers
superior characteristics and excellent edge
retention - the perfect material for high
quality kitchen knives. Even in the age of
state-of-the-art powder metallurgical steel,
classic non-stainless carbon steel still has
its raison d'être.
Many users appreciate the traditional aspect
of carbon steel, as well as the combination
of edge retention and easy sharpening, never
quite achieved by stainless steel. For blades
requiring an extremely fine edge, e.g. razor
blades, carbon steel is still a matchless choice.
In the kitchen, it is truly a joy to work with
a fine edged carbon steel blade that offers
unsurpassed cutting properties. With a little
care, a blade made from carbon steel has the
same service life as a stainless blade. In the
kitchen, you simply have to rinse the blade
under hot running water after each use.
One completely natural property of the
material is the patina that will develop over
time, especially after cutting acidic food. It is
absolutely normal for the blade to take on a
grayish blue hue, which is not a flaw. On the
contrary, the patina (oxide layer) protects the
blade and makes it more resistant to outside
conditions. The patina often develops after
the first use and cannot be removed. For the
expert, it is a sure sign of high quality carbon
steel.
In addition, the blade features two-tone
etching with the historic Boker tree etched in
gold. Providing a strong contrast and elegant
appearance, the inscription is etched in deep
black. The elaborate blade etching process
according to Solingen tradition is reserved for
the finest, most exclusive knives, highlighting
the special status of this anniversary edition
in our product range.
All knives in this series are handcrafted in
Solingen and strictly limited to 150 pieces
worldwide. Each knife has an individual
serial number and comes with a certificate
of authenticity, packaged in an exclusive
anniversary box.
