Boker Damascus Olive Bread Knife

'The Boker Damascus Olive kitchen knife line pairs Japanese-style handles made from locally sourced olive wood with razor-sharp stainless Damascus blades featuring 37 steel layers and a striking grain pattern. The blade’s tough core is high-performance VG-10 steel from Japan, delivering exceptional hardness, resilience and a uniform crystalline structure. The matt stainless-steel ferrule and the elegant Japanese handle design give these knives a distinctive look and feel.\n\nThanks to the traditional construction with a push tang and stainless ferrule, these knives cut delicate foods cleanly without crushing or bruising them—herbs retain more of their oils and flavor, and onions can be sliced with fewer tears. In independent DIN EN ISO 8442-5 testing against an established Solingen maker, the Boker Damascus Olive line showed 68% better cutting performance and a noticeably higher initial sharpness, meaning less frequent sharpening is required.\n\nThe bread knife in the range features a long blade with a special serration that slices bread and other firm foods cleanly without crushing them, in contrast to a classic chef’s knife. Overall, the combination of materials, design and craftsmanship makes cooking with these knives a precise and enjoyable experience.'
