Boker Cottage-Craft Chef's Knife Small

Since the 14th century, the Kotten—farm cottages—have shaped the history of Solingen, the City of Blades. Massive grindstones were powered solely by water, and the world-famous blades were sharpened by hand. The Boker Cottage-Craft chef's knife series carries on this heritage, using a carefully selected range of classic materials. Notably, it uses non-stainless C75 carbon steel, which develops the characteristic blue-grey patina after only a short time in use. The domestic plum wood used for the handle scales is hard, dense and fine-pored, with an even grain and a striking range of colors. In keeping with Solingen's centuries-old knife-making tradition, the scales are mounted on the blade’s full tang with solid brass rivets. The chef's knife is one of the most important tools in the kitchen and part of every basic set: its blade is slightly wider and longer than an all-purpose knife, the slim tip is ideal for onions and small vegetables, and its length makes it suitable for cutting meat and large vegetables as well.
