Boker Core Professional Set 2.0

'What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Beyond their historic centers, well-known landmarks and long traditions as important trading cities, they are also home to outstanding steelware retailers. These merchants have earned their reputations through decades of expert knowledge and an intuitive understanding of the needs of cooks and kitchen enthusiasts. For the Boker Core series we combined that practical expertise with nearly 150 years of Solingen knife-making tradition.\n\nThe result is a knife range with dynamic lines, excellent handling and exceptional cutting performance, honored with the “recommended by leading retailers” quality rating. Each knife starts from a solid blade blank of chromium‑molybdenum‑vanadium steel (X50CrMoV15), hand-forged in Solingen, structurally refined and hardened to 58 HRC. The blades are hand-ground and highly polished for greater durability and an even finer edge.\n\nA forged bolster provides a secure grip and protection against slipping, while the gently rounded spine—an identifying feature of the series—makes the knife comfortable to use in any position and prevents uncomfortable pressure on the hand even when applying strong force, for example during a rocking chop. Ergonomically proportioned synthetic handles complete the design; they are highly moisture-resistant and suitable for use in professional kitchens where hygiene standards are paramount.\n\nThe Boker Knife Block Gusto is equipped with four knives from the Boker Core Professional series plus a classic sharpening steel: a peeling knife, a small chef’s knife, a chef’s knife and a bread knife.'
