Boker Core Office Knife

'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 also home to outstanding cutlery retailers. These shops have earned their reputations over decades through wide selections and expert knowledge. We used their practical experience and deep understanding of cooks’ needs in developing the Boker Core series, combining that insight with nearly 150 years of expertise as a Solingen knife manufactory.\n\nThe result is a knife line with dynamic styling, excellent balance and impressive cutting performance, recognized as "recommended by leading retailers." Each blade begins as a solid billet of X50CrMoV15 (a chromium‑molybdenum‑vanadium alloy) ideally suited to 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.\n\nPractical safety and comfort are built in: a forged bolster provides a secure grip and guards against slips, and the spine is gently rounded to make the knife comfortable in any hand position—even under pressure during rocking cuts. Finely patterned, well-proportioned walnut handles complete the cohesive, attractive design. The peeling or paring knife features a short blade for small kitchen tasks; as its name suggests, it excels at paring fruit and vegetables and at cutting close to the skin.'
