BOKER PATINA DAMASCUS
Even if the Damascus blade of this exclusive model,
which is limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, does
not develop a visually perceptible patina after
use, the affiliation to the Boker Patina kitchen
knife series is unmistakable. In contrast to the
models with blades made of carbon steel, the
acid treatment and the (controlled) discoloration
is already carried out during the manufacturing
process, as this is the only way to make the
different Damascus layers visible.
The handle of this extraordinary chef's knife,
in the classic Solingen three-rivet design, is
in no way inferior to the blade in terms of
appearance and function. With its lively grain,
the handpicked, stabilized burl birch wood makes
each knife truly unique. This extraordinary
composition is completed with brass rivets.
The premium Damascus with 180 layers is hand
forged by Chad Nichols from Mississippi in
the USA, one of the most renowned Damascus
blade smiths in the world of knives.
The fine, high contrast designs and the high
suitability of the material for everyday use
are not only appreciated by various knife
manufacturers worldwide, but also by
numerous custom knifemakers.
However, with the forging of the high quality
Damascus, the blade is still far from its final
shape and finish. In the next step, the forged
split piece is further processed in our drop
forge in Solingen.
After it has been heated there to a red heat, a
two-tone ramrod beats it into shape in a massive
mold. This mold, consisting of an upper and
lower half, is the so-called drop forge. In the
next step, the blade is soft-annealed, deburred
and finally, calibrated.
The resulting Wild Damascus pattern is as
unique as a human fingerprint, and after its
journey around the world is ready for new
adventures - in your kitchen.
