Boker Core Cheese Knife

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, landmark sites and long histories as important trading cities, they are also home to renowned cutlery retailers who have earned their reputations through wide selections and expert knowledge. We drew on their decades of experience, practical insight into cooks’ needs and our own nearly 150 years as a Solingen knife manufacturer to develop the Boker Core series. The result is a knife family with dynamic lines, excellent handling and outstanding cutting performance, earning the endorsement “recommended by leading retailers.” Each blade starts as a solid slug of X50CrMoV15 (a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy ideal for premium kitchen knives), hand-forged in Solingen, structurally refined and hardened to 58 HRC. A traditional hand grind is then highly polished to extend the edge life and further improve cutting finesse. The forged bolster provides a secure grip and added protection in case of slips, while the gently rounded spine—common to all models—makes the knives comfortable to use in any hand position and prevents pressure points even during forceful rocking cuts. Finely patterned, well-proportioned walnut handles complete the cohesive, attractive design.'
