Boker Core Professional Chef's Knife

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, well-known landmarks and long traditions as important trading cities, they are home to outstanding steelware retailers who have earned their reputations through decades of wide selection and expert advice. We incorporated their practical experience and deep knowledge of cooks’ needs into the development of the Boker Core series, together with our nearly 150 years as a Solingen knife manufacturer. The result is a knife line with dynamic styling, excellent balance and impressive cutting performance that has been rated “recommended by leading retailers.” \n\nThe blades are made from a solid X50CrMoV15 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 edge life and produce an even finer cut. The forged bolster provides a secure grip and protects the hand in case of a slip. \n\nA distinctive feature of the series is the gently rounded spine, which makes the knife comfortable to hold in any position and prevents uncomfortable pressure on the hand, even when pressing down hard for techniques like the rock chop. Practical, well-proportioned synthetic handles complete the design; they are highly moisture-resistant and suitable for professional kitchens where the highest hygiene standards are required. \n\nThe Chef’s Knife is a kitchen essential: slightly wider and longer than a utility knife, with a slim tip useful for onions and small vegetables, long enough to handle meat, and well suited for processing large vegetables.'
