Boker Cottage-Craft Carving Knife

'Since the 14th century, the Kotten — the water‑powered farm cottages — have shaped the history of Solingen, the city of blades. Massive grindstones were driven by pure water power and the world‑famous blades were sharpened by hand. The Boker Cottage‑Craft chef’s knife series carries on this tradition, using a carefully selected range of classic materials. Notably, it uses non‑stainless carbon steel C75, which develops the characteristic blue‑grey patina after only a short time in use. The domestic plum wood chosen for the handle scales is hard, dense and fine‑pored, with an even grain and a striking colour spectrum. Following Solingen’s centuries‑old knife‑making practice, the scales are mounted on the blade’s full tang with solid brass rivets. With its long, slender profile, the carving knife is ideal for precise slicing of meat and fish, from wafer‑thin slices to cubes and evenly thick cuts. The ham knife is slightly more flexible than other blades and glides smoothly through meat.'
