Boker Core Chef's Knife Small

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, well-known landmarks and long histories as important trading towns, they are home to outstanding cutlery retailers who have earned their reputations through wide selections and deep expertise. We drew on their decades of practical experience and keen understanding of cooks’ needs when developing the Boker Core series, combining that insight with nearly 150 years of Solingen knife-making tradition. The result is a knife line with dynamic lines, excellent balance and exceptional cutting performance that has been rated “recommended by leading retailers.”\n\nEach blade begins as a solid slug of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy (X50CrMoV15), an alloy ideal for premium kitchen knives. The steel is hand-forged in Solingen, structurally optimized and hardened to 58 HRC. A traditional hand grind is then highly polished to extend edge life and refine cutting ability. The forged bolster provides a secure grip and shields the hand in case of a slip. A distinctive feature of the series is the gently rounded spine, which makes the knives comfortable to hold in any position and prevents pressure points on the hand—even when applying strong force, as in a rocking chop. Beautifully patterned, well-proportioned walnut handles complete the cohesive, attractive design.\n\nThe Chef’s Knife is a kitchen essential and part of every basic set. It has a slightly wider and longer blade than a utility knife, with a slim tip well suited for slicing onions and small vegetables. Its length also makes it useful for cutting meat and for handling large vegetables with ease.'
