Boker Core Professional Gemüsemesser

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, regional sights and long traditions as important trading towns, they all host outstanding steelware retailers known for their wide product ranges and high levels of expertise and advice. We have drawn on their decades of experience and market sensitivity for cooking and kitchen enthusiasts and combined it with our nearly 150 years as a Solingen knife manufacturer to develop the Böker Core Professional series. The result is a knife that, thanks to its dynamic lines, excellent handling and breathtaking cutting performance, rightly deserves the label “recommended by leading specialty retailers.” The solid blade blank is made from the chrome–molybdenum–vanadium alloy X50CrMoV15, ideally suited for high-quality kitchen knives; it is carefully forged by hand in Solingen to optimize the steel structure and then hardened to 58 HRC. To extend edge life and produce an even finer cutting result, our traditional hand honing is followed by a high‑gloss polish. The forged bolster provides a secure grip at all times and protects against injuries if the hand slips. As a special design feature, the spine of every knife in this series is gently rounded, so the knife feels comfortable in any grip and does not cause pressure points even when applying stronger force during a rocking cut. Practical, perfectly proportioned plastic handles complete the coherent design: highly moisture‑resistant and therefore suitable for professional kitchens where hygiene standards are paramount. The vegetable knife is indispensable for preparing, trimming and processing fruits and vegetables; its short blade makes it exceptionally handy and allows particularly precise control.'
