Boker Core Tomato Knife

'Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg share more than historic centers, famous landmarks and a long tradition as important trading cities: they’re also home to outstanding cutlery retailers who, through years of wide-ranging selection and expert advice, have earned an excellent reputation. For the Boker Core series we combined their decades of practical knowledge and everyday understanding of cooks’ needs with our nearly 150 years of experience as a Solingen knife manufacturer. The result is a knife with dynamic lines, excellent handling and impressive cutting performance that has been rated “recommended by leading retailers.”\n\nThe blade is formed from a solid blank of chromium‑molybdenum‑vanadium steel (X50CrMoV15), hand-forged in Solingen, structurally optimized and hardened to 58 HRC. A traditional hand grind is then highly polished to extend edge life and refine cutting ability. The forged bolster provides a secure grip and protects the hand in the event of a slip, while the gently rounded spine makes the knife comfortable to use in any position and prevents unpleasant pressure when applying force, for example during a rocking chop. Finely patterned, well-proportioned walnut handles complete the cohesive and attractive design.'
