Boker Cottage-Craft Chef's Knife Large

'Since the 14th century, the Kotten farm cottages have shaped the history of Solingen, the city of blades. Massive grinding stones were powered by flowing water while world-famous blades were sharpened by hand. The Boker Cottage-Craft chef’s knife series continues this tradition, using a carefully selected range of classic materials. Notably, the non-stainless carbon steel C75 develops a characteristic blue‑grey patina after only a short time in use. The handle scales are made from domestic plum wood, which is hard, dense, fine‑grained, and displays an even structure with a striking color range. Following Solingen’s centuries-old knifemaking practice, the scales are fastened to the full tang with solid brass rivets.\n\nThe chef’s knife is a kitchen essential and part of the basic set: its blade is slightly wider and longer than that of an all-purpose knife. The slim tip is ideal for precision tasks such as slicing onions or small vegetables, while the blade’s length makes it well suited for cutting meat and working with large vegetables.'
