Boker Core Professional Peeling Knife

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, landmarks known far beyond the region and a long tradition as important trading cities, they are also home to outstanding cutlery retailers who have earned their reputations through decades of wide selection and expert knowledge. We drew on their experience and everyday understanding of cooks’ needs when developing the Boker Core series, combining this insight with nearly 150 years of Solingen knife-making tradition. The result is a design with dynamic lines, superb handling and impressive cutting performance that has been rated “recommended by leading retailers.” The solid blade blank, made from the chromium‑molybdenum‑vanadium alloy X50CrMoV15—well suited for premium kitchen knives—is hand-forged in Solingen, structurally optimized and hardened to 58 HRC. To extend blade life and refine the edge, the traditional hand grind is then highly polished. The forged bolster provides a secure grip and protects the user in case of a slip. A distinctive feature of the series is the gently rounded spine, which makes the knife comfortable to hold in any position and prevents painful pressure on the hand even when strong force is applied to the spine during a rocking cut. Practical, perfectly proportioned handles made of synthetic material complete the design; the knives are highly moisture-resistant and fully suitable for professional restaurant use. With kitchen hygiene demanding the highest standards, the peeling or paring knife is especially useful: its short blade handles most small kitchen tasks, and, as the name implies, it is ideal for paring fruit and vegetables and cutting close to the skin.'
