knives with an anniversary edition with 

a blade made of the precisely cut carbon 

steel O1, which is also limited to 150 

pieces worldwide. The noble handle is

two-tone special etching, which shows 

the Boker tree as a genuine gold etching 

with deep black inscription. 

HANDMADE SINCE 1869. 

Managing Owners Kirsten Schulz-Dalichow and Carsten Felix-Dalichow 

Since 1869, the famous knives with the 

world famous Boker tree symbol have 

been hand made in the city of Solingen. 

It fills us with great pride, as we look 

back at our continuous history, at the 

very eventful history through which our 

company has gone through the past 

15 decades. And we see it as a great 

commitment to continue to be true to 

We celebrate our 150th company year 

with a wealth of spectacular projects, 

which you will find on the following 

pages. The exclusive chef's knife Boker 

Anniversary 150 Damascus in the classic 

3-rivet design is equipped with a 

Damascus blade from one piece of living 

history of the Boker manufactory, and 

is limited to just 150 pieces worldwide. 

our philosophy. 

Before electricity entered our factory, 

The balanced mix of traditional knives steam power transmitted through 

and the high value of handcrafting in 

our Solingen factory, combined with 

the great depth of production and the 

proverbial attention to detail that goes 

hand in hand with innovative projects 

using the latest CNC technology and the 

use of exceptional materials such as the 

powder metallurgically produced steel 

CPM-154, inspires a very wide range of 

home chefs, knife enthusiasts, and TV 

chefs alike. 

large flywheels was the main source 

of energy for our production. One of 

these giant transmission wheels still 

stands as a memento on our premises. 

We have taken a massive piece of 

this transmission wheel for forging the 

Damascus steel used for this exclusive 

anniversary edition. Each buyer has a 

unique knife, and not only symbolically 

holds a real, physical piece of our Boker 

story in his hands. 

In addition, we have added six new models 

to our popular chef's knife series Boker 

Core and Boker Core Professional, due to 

the high demand. With a total of 13 knives 

per line, Boker Core is now the most 

comprehensive range of kitchen knives in 

our product line. 

The purchase of a knife with the tree 

symbol as a seal of quality is the beginning 

of an eternal relationship. We underpin this 

with our unconditional quality standards 

for our knives, to which we stand with a 

lifelong guarantee on our products - for 

150 years. 

We thank you for your interest and 

your enthusiasm for innovative and 

extraordinary knives, and invite you to visit 

our manufactory in Solingen.

150 years of knives made by Boker! 

That's an excellent reason to celebrate. 

It goes without saying that we would 

like to share this remarkable anniversary 

with all our customers and fans. 

Therefore, we are proud to present to 

you this unique, full tang Damascus 

knife. This exclusive piece is literally a 

tangible piece of Boker history. 

In "the good old days," before electricity 

became the standard power source, 

many production machines were steampowered. 

Steam was generated in a 

central location and piped to the various 

machines across the Manufactory's 

shop floor by means of huge flywheels. 

Today, one of those flywheels has its 

permanent place on our premises as 

a memento of the early days of our 

company, and a reminder of the changes 

we have weathered in the past century 

and a half. We took a massive piece of 

the flywheel shaft to forge the 180-layer 

Damascus steel used to create this 

exclusive anniversary edition designed 

by Chad Nichols. Now, all owners of 

these exclusive kitchen knives will be 

able to hold an authentic piece of Boker 

history in their hands. 

features scales no less historic than 

the blade - as you know, the Boker tree 

logo goes back to the huge chestnut 

tree that used to grow on our very 

first company premises. Although that 

chestnut tree was struck down by a 

thunderstorm in the early 20th century, 

the smoked chestnut wood of the 

handle scales harkens back to the roots 

of the famous logo, giving every knife a 

unique, inimitable look. 

A special anniversary emblem in the 

handle scale creates an elegant 

accent. The knives are handcrafted in 

our Solingen manufactory in a strictly 

limited worldwide edition of 150 pieces. 

Each knife has an individual serial 

number and comes with a certificate 

of authenticity, packaged in an elegant 

wooden gift box. 

The unique production and great effort 

of making this rare blade material is our 

way of expressing our appreciation for 

our loyal customers who have enjoyed 

our products for 15 decades. Each knife

BOKER CORE ANNIVERSARY 150 

Naturally, we want to celebrate our 

150th anniversary with another special 

edition, based on our successful line of 

kitchen knives, Boker Core. In the 17th 

century, a huge chestnut tree used to 

provide welcome shade for the small 

tool manufactory in Remscheid owned 

by the Boker family. It is well known 

that this tree inspired the name of 

the Boker Manufactory and the worldfamous 

corporate logo. 

Paying homage to the beginning of our 

company's history 150 years ago, this 

model features a handle made from 

smoked chestnut wood. With its dark 

color and subtle pattern, the material 

emphasizes the elegant design and 

exclusive nature of the knife. The 

die-forged blade is made from O1 

carbon steel, which offers superior 

characteristics and excellent edge 

retention - the perfect material for high 

quality kitchen knives. Even in the age 

of state-of-the-art powder metallurgical 

steel, classic non-stainless carbon 

steel still has its raison d'être. 

Many users appreciate the traditional 

aspect of carbon steel, as well as the 

combination of edge retention and 

easy sharpening, never quite achieved 

by stainless steel. For blades requiring 

an extremely fine edge, e.g. razor 

blades, carbon steel is still a matchless 

choice. In the kitchen, it is truly a joy 

to work with a fine edged carbon steel 

blade that offers unsurpassed cutting 

properties. With a little care, a blade 

made from carbon steel has the same 

service life as a stainless blade. In the 

kitchen, you simply have to rinse the 

blade under hot running water after 

each use. 

One completely natural property of the 

material is the patina that will develop 

over time, especially after cutting 

acidic food. It is absolutely normal for 

the blade to take on a grayish blue hue, 

which is not a flaw. On the contrary, 

the patina (oxide layer) protects the 

blade and makes it more resistant to 

outside conditions. The patina often 

develops after the first use and cannot 

be removed. For the expert, it is a sure 

sign of high quality carbon steel. 

In addition, the blade features twotone 

etching with the historic Boker 

tree etched in gold. Providing a strong 

contrast and elegant appearance, the 

inscription is etched in deep black. 

The elaborate blade etching process 

according to Solingen tradition is 

reserved for the finest, most exclusive 

knives, highlighting the special status 

of this anniversary edition in our 

product range. 

All knives in this series are handcrafted 

in Solingen and strictly limited to 150 

pieces worldwide. Each knife has an 

individual serial number and comes 

with a certificate of authenticity, 

packaged in an exclusive anniversary 

box.

TORSION 

DAMASCUS 300 60 HRC 

GRENADILL 

BOKER DAMASCUS SUPERIOR 

We asked ourselves how the knife of all 

knives should be made. Which materials 

and techniques should be used? Then we 

found the answer, and developed a world 

premier. 

For the Boker Damascus Superior series 

we use, for the first time, a four strand 

Torsion Damascus with a separately 

forged Damascus cutting edge, which is 

done by German Damascus forger Andreas 

Henrichs with fascinating precision, 

exclusively for Boker. In an extremely 

elaborate process, single Damascus 

layers are forged by hand to a massive 

square Damascus bar. This square bar 

is twisted 15 times, which creates the 

unique pattern of Torsion Damascus. Four 

of those strands, and a fifth non-twisted 

Damascus strand are forge-welded into 

the final shape. 

The result is a blade blank with 

extraordinary structure, unbelievable 

stability, and the basis for excellent 

cutting ability. In the Boker Manufactory 

in Solingen, the blade blank will then be 

processed by hand in more than 150 steps 

to the complete knife. 

THE ART OF DAMASCUS 

FORGING 

This method of forging Damascus 

was used in the Middle Ages to forge 

extremely high class sword blades for 

the gentry. Swords made of Torsion 

Damascus were extremely rare and 

sought after, so much so that the Vikings 

raided parts of Europe to obtain such 

swords. 

DAMASCUS DETAILS IN 

HANDLE 

For the handles, we use African 

Grenadill hardwood. Grenadill wood 

offers a beautiful grain, which is a 

perfect addition to the intricate blade, 

and provides an excellent balance to the 

knife. Due to its high content of oil, it is 

highly moisture resistant. 

The impressive wooden handle is 

framed by two Damascus bolsters and 

a Damascus butt cap, both made of 

stainless powder metallurgical Damascus 

with 300 layers. The handle pieces are 

individually hand-fitted to each blade, 

providing balance and beauty. 

Each of these works of art carries an 

individual serial number, making it 

possible to track the entire production 

process in the Boker Manufactory. The 

knife will be delivered in an exclusive 

wooden presentation case and includes 

a certificate of authenticity and owner‘s 

manual. 

Experience a knife which, when 

forged in this exclusive manner, is 

like no other.

BOKER DAMASCUS PURE 

A milestone in the history of kitchen knives 

by Boker. Made completely by hand, this 

unique work of knife art impresses every fan 

of high class cutting tools made in Solingen. 

Famous custom knifemaker Jens Ansø from 

Denmark created this puristic and extremely 

functional knife concept for Boker, in a 

traditional Scandinavian design. The main 

focus of Jens Ansø was the demanding user. 

The result, in his collaboration with the Boker 

R & D team, is a knife series that combines 

superior function with a simple design and 

excellent ergonomics. In keeping with the 

high end concept, only the best quality 

materials were selected, which takes the 

functionality of this series one step further. 

The knives in this series are not meant for 

collector's pieces for the showcase - they 

are designed for daily use and downright 

demand it! The Damascus Pure models 

feature stunning, 200-layer Damascus steel, 

forged by Chad Nichols from Mississippi. 

Chad is one of the most innovative 

Damascus forgers worldwide and impresses 

the international knife community with his 

hand forged stainless Damascus steels. We 

chose him as the ideal partner for this 

demanding project when it came to the 

selection of the adequate blade material. 

The "Boomerang" pattern, with its unique 

and attractive appearance, is the perfect 

choice for a high end kitchen knife due to its 

stainless features. The blades not only show 

an appealing, contrasting pattern, they are 

also razor sharp and well balanced, and will 

conquer any cutting task with ease. 

Another impressive feature of this series 

is the handle material. The bog oak wood 

is not a "species" of wood, but oak logs, 

which laid in water or swamps for centuries 

and came up when the ponds or swamps 

dried out. Over this long period of time, 

the tannic acid of the wood reacts with the 

iron salts in the water, which results in a 

very high hardness and a handsome, deep 

brown coloring. This exquisite handle material 

harmonizes perfectly with the Chad Nichols 

Damascus blade. 

The Pure Series has truly set new limits and 

will become, with its puristic and functional 

design concept and high end materials, the 

new eye catcher in your kitchen.

BOKER DAMASCUS BLACK 

With the successful cutlery series Boker 

Damascus Black, we present kitchen knives 

with a stunning look and feel, and aboveaverage 

performance. The best of two 

worlds: A traditional Japanese chef's knife 

- handmade in Solingen, Germany. 

Not only do many top chefs swear by 

Japanese kitchen knives - they are also 

becoming increasingly popular with 

ambitious home cooks. The merits of a knife 

with Japanese handles and the traditional 

construction of a blade with stainless steel 

ferrule are obvious, because delicate foods 

can be cut and cooked very gently. 

When chopping herbs, for example, the 

very fine cut leaves hardly any essential 

oils. Flavors are not lost, and the unwanted 

tears when chopping onions can also be 

avoided. The perceived sharpness when 

cutting is breathtaking, and makes cooking 

an experience. 

The secret of the unusual sharpness lies in 

the material and its processing. The blade 

consists of 37 layers of Damascus steel. The 

premium blade steel VG-10, made in Japan, 

is used for the core, and is characterized by 

a high degree of hardness, toughness and a 

homogeneous crystalline structure. 

In a direct comparison of the cutting 

performance with a product of an established 

Solingen kitchen knife manufacturer 

according to DIN EN ISO 8442-5, the series 

Boker Damascus Black are not only superior in 

the proverbial sense - the cutting performance 

of our knives is more than 68% higher than 

that of the competitor's product in the 

representative DIN test. In addition, the series 

Boker Damascus Black convinces by an initial 

sharpness that is far superior, making frequent 

re-sharpening a thing of the past. 

The handle material is black plywood, which, 

due to its beautiful and dramatic color, 

emphasizes the finely matted stainless steel 

ferrules and the splendid grain of the razorsharp 

Damascus blade. Boker Damascus 

Black means cooking with style. Available 

in eight practical sizes and shapes, for every 

cutting chore in the kitchen, and delivered in 

an attractive presentation box.

CONSTRUCTION OF A KITCHEN KNIFE 

CONSTRUCTION METHODS & BLADE JOINTS 

The knife has been an essential universal tool for more than 2.4 million years. Knives are available in a wide variety of shapes and 

designs for almost any purpose. As a tool, kitchen implement, decorative object or collector's item – people value the advantages 

of these sharp tools in every kitchen. The construction possibilities for a kitchen knife are almost as varied as the possible uses 

– from cutting fresh bread to carving a beef tenderloin or filleting fresh fish. At the Boker Manufactory, we use three different 

blade and handle joint designs, depending on the knife series. Each design has its own tradition and purpose, and offers different 

advantages in terms of production, handling and use. Despite all differences, these designs of Boker kitchen knives have one 

thing in common - they are all excellent and superior kitchen knives that you will never want to put down. Depending on your 

individual and personal preferences in terms of design, weight, ergonomics and balance, you are sure to find the right knife in 

our collection.

THE FORGED BOLSTER 

European kitchen knives are mainly used to cut with pressure. 

The die-forged bolster offers a few distinct advantages. For this 

cutting technique, the index finger or middle finger presses 

down on the end of the blade. Thanks to its three dimensional 

shape, the bolster serves as a comfortable pressure point. 

At the same time, its weight supports the cutting movement 

when the blade moves forward. The knives in our Boker Core 

series are die-forged with a bolster. Die-forging is a technique 

with roots in the early days of industrialization. First, a roughly 

shaped piece is cut off from the raw material. This piece 

is brought to a red heat and hammered into shape inside a 

massive form consisting of two halves, top and bottom. This 

process is also called drop forging. The bottom die serves as 

a counter surface. The die dropping down onto the blade is 

affixed to a drop hammer weighing two tons. The resulting 

blade blank needs to be soft-annealed before the blanks are 

deburred, which means that the excess material created 

during the forging process is removed. The blank is calibrated 

again on a knuckle joint press with 800 tons of pressing force. 

This process is particularly suitable for sharply contoured 

blade profiles. The bolster remains a technical challenge, 

even and especially after forging. A grinder now shapes the 

knife's fine contour from the rough blank. The complex threedimensional 

and conical structure of the bolster requires the 

grinder's full experience and concentration. Careless handling 

can cause unsightly dents or notches at all junctions of the 

blade and handle.

CONSTRUCTION OF A KITCHEN KNIFE

Full tang

THE FULL TANG — ROBUST & SIMPLE 

The full tang is the simplest and most robust solution. The 

concept comes from outdoor knives, and is most often used 

for knives that need to be particularly sturdy and withstand 

even abuse and improper usage, such as prying or chopping. 

The full tang follows the entire handle shape; the scales are 

riveted on from both sides. Then, the handle scales are fitted 

to the tang on a belt sander and also rounded so that they offer 

a pleasant and secure grip. The knives in our Boker Saga series 

feature a full tang.

THE PUSH TANG — 

AS MUCH AS NEEDED, AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE 

The push tang is the lightest of the listed joints. Its philosophy 

is "as much as needed, as little as possible". The actual tang 

is narrower than the ricasso that goes on into the handle. The 

tang runs through about a third of the length of the handle. 

Here, it is held by a single stainless steel rivet. The wood at 

the front end of the handle is protected by a finely satinized 

ferrule. Fitting the ferrule is particularly difficult, because its 

spot on the handle is both conical and oval. This means that 

it doesn't have a regular geometric shape. This construction 

follows the Japanese tradition and we use it for our series 

Boker Damascus Olive and Boker Damascus Black. In Japanese 

cooking, most cuts are pulled. With this technique, the blade is 

easier to control if the handle is lighter compared to the blade. 

If flexural forces came into play during the cutting process – 

though those are negligible when working with food – they 

would be happening in the strongest spot of this connection.

MANUFACTURE OF A KITCHEN KNIFE 

MANUFACTURE OF A KITCHEN 

KNIFE 

Depending on the series, making a 

kitchen knife requires up to 80 different 

production steps. About ten in-house 

departments are involved. Each build 

and finish requires some of the same 

processing steps and some different 

ones.Before production can begin, the 

product idea is built digitally with 

the help of CAD software. A simple 

hand-drawn sketch made by one of 

our knife designer and custom knife 

makers often serves as the basis for 

the first construction drawing. Once 

the design engineer has determined all 

production-relevant components, they 

are either made in-house or procured 

from suppliers. Then, production can 

begin. 

THE DROP FORGE 

The base material is cut into pieces, 

brought to a red heat and hammered 

in a massive die with a drop hammer 

weighing two tons. The resulting blade 

blank needs to be soft-annealed before 

it can be deburred, which means that 

the excess material created during the 

forging process is removed. The blank 

is calibrated again on a knuckle joint 

press with 800 tons of pressing force. 

We use this process exclusively for 

knives with a forged bolster. 

STAMPING 

Here, the blades of the non-forged 

knives are stamped out of plates or 

coils – depending on the material's 

commercial form – or cut with a laser or 

water jet cutter. Forging and stamping 

are the respective first steps in making 

a knife. The purpose and shape of the 

product is already recognizable. 

HARDENING 

The heat treatment of steel is a high 

art. When we harden and anneal steel, 

we push for the limits of the steel in 

question. In order to attain the required 

edge retention, the steel needs to be as 

hard as possible, while also having enough 

resilience not to break during use. 

GRINDING 

Here, the blade receives its long tapering 

grind from spine to edge. Cooling the 

piece requires great diligence at this stage. 

Otherwise, heat might warp the blade or 

even take away some of its hardness. 

GLAZING 

True Solingen handcraft begins with 

glazing. Here, the spine is ground, the 

transition from blade to tang is cleaned 

up and the unique Solingen blue finish 

is applied. The blades of the Boker Saga 

Satin series keep their blue satin finish 

surface. For the series Boker Damascus 

Olive and Damascus Black, the blades are 

also sand blasted, which brings out the 

texture of the stainless Damascus. 

DAMASCUS ETCHING 

Here, the blades of the hand forged 

Damascus knives are etched in order to 

bring out the lines of the different steel 

layers. We use a specially formulated 

acid bath, which is precisely adapted to 

the Damascus and the desired look of the 

blade. 

SCALES 

This department stores lumber from 

indigenous trees, 5,000-year-old bog oak 

and rare burl varieties. The first step of 

handle production is cutting the wood by 

hand on a bench saw – with a level of 

accuracy down to 1/10 of a millimeter. The 

resulting piece is then finished by hand or 

on a CNC milling machine. Our carpenters 

say, "It's all black before the saw." This 

means that you have to cut into the wood 

in order to be able to tell which parts and 

how much of the purchased raw material is 

actually usable. 

MOUNTING & FINE GRINDING 

In mounting, handles and blades are 

'married." Depending on the build, the knife 

is assembled with rivets, hollow rivets or 

extremely durable adhesive connections. 

The contour is also pre-shaped on the 

grinding belt. The contour that was 

prepared in mounting is now given its 

final finish on fine grained grinding belts 

and discs. Apart from the blade, the 

knife receives its final aesthetics and 

functionality. 

FINAL CHECK - HONING 

At the end of the process, experienced 

eyes scrutinize the knives. Only completely 

flawless knives are hand-honed and then 

checked again, cleaned and packaged.

OAK 

BOKER PURE CPM 

Danish design emerged as a style in 

the middle of the 20th century, strongly 

influenced by the ideas of the German 

Bauhaus. This design movement 

developed its own no-nonsense look 

characterized by simple formalism, 

minimalism, clarity and functionality, 

as well as by the use of cutting edge 

industrial technology in the realization 

of this design vocabulary. This is the 

tradition of Danish designer and custom 

knifemaker Jens Ansø, who designed 

the kitchen knife series Boker Pure 

following these exact design principles. 

The knives have unique, classically 

simple lines and offer excellent balance, 

handle ergonomics and functionality. 

This minimalistic design is highlighted 

with the use of "Bergische Eiche," a 

regional oak wood, for the handles. 

The pleasing pattern of the elaborately 

finished oak wood is only interrupted 

by three understated stainless steel 

rivets, which are applied with great 

care in a completely manual process. 

In order to match the aesthetic quality of 

the series with its technical properties, 

we use the powder metallurgical steel 

CPM-154, made by the American 

manufacturer Crucible Industries. This 

steel is made by melting the already 

excellent base steel 154-CM in order to 

add more carbides.

The steel is then atomized in a vacuum 

and quenched with a cold air jet. The 

resulting steel powder is pressed and 

sintered below melting temperature. 

This process makes it possible to 

give the steel a much higher carbide 

concentration than regular blade 

steel; and the carbides give the steel 

additional hardness and edge retention. 

The bar graph (left) shows the edge 

retention compared to an established, 

popular kitchen knife steel, the 

chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel 

X50CrMoV15, as well as to the excellent 

440C. The superior edge retention 

of the 440C is far surpassed by the 

powder metallurgical steel CPM-154, 

which is a guarantee for a sharp knife 

that keeps its edge for a very long time. 

The Pure Series has truly set new limits 

and is, with its puristic and functional 

design concept and high end materials, 

the new eye catcher in your kitchen.

BOKER CORE DAMASCUS 

We are a modern and sustainable company 

with roots in an industry with a long regional 

history. Our region is the Bergisches Land, 

where blade production was established 

as early as the Middle Ages, thanks to two 

main factors. The dense forests supplied 

wood as a renewable resource that could be 

carbonized for forging. Many rivers running 

through narrow valleys – primarily the 

Wupper River – supplied easily accessible, 

renewable energy for grinding mills and 

smithies. 

Now, the Bergisches Land does not 

actually take its name from its mountainous 

topography ("Berg" being German for 

"mountain"), but from the noble House 

von Berg. Their mighty counts left their 

mark on the region like no other dynasty, 

reaching all the way to the Rhineland. It 

is no accident that their ancestral seat of 

Burg Castle has become the landmark of 

the Bergisches Land. Thanks to our close 

relationship with the castle preservation 

association, Schlossbauverein Burg an der 

Wupper e.V., we were able to obtain a small 

amount of wood from the 100-year-old oak 

beams of this historic monument. 

towers built around the year 1130. From 

the top with its three wooden brattices, 

visitors have a panoramic view all the way 

to the neighboring town of Remscheid. A 

covered bridge connects the tower with 

the shield wall and wall walk. In medieval 

times, it was the only access to the tower. 

Today, the west side of the keep has an 

additional entrance to the ground floor. 

The archway bears a sandstone plate 

with information about the history of the 

mighty tower. In the past, the ground floor 

was called the dungeon, accessible only 

through an opening from the floor above 

and used as storage for stone balls. In 

case of an attack, the defenders of the 

keep would pelt attackers with the balls 

from the upper floors. The ground floor 

could hold up to 12 tons of stones. From 

the first floor, stairs in the outside walls, 

which are up to four meters thick, lead 

to the upper floors. We process pieces 

of the original oak beams of the keep 

at Burg Castle with all due respect and 

diligence to make handles for our Boker 

Core Damascus, an edition strictly limited 

to 199 pieces. The blade is truly special - 

the hand forged stainless Damascus has 

a breathtaking pattern and offers excellent 

resilience and hardness (60 HRC), which 

makes the Boker Core Damascus an 

exclusive collector's item and guarantees 

exceptional performance for all cutting 

tasks in the kitchen. In Solingen, the 

forged blade piece consisting of 300 layers 

of Damascus is brought to a red heat and 

die-forged into its beautiful shape by a 

drop hammer weighing two tons. 

What better way to express our respect for 

the history of our region and our craft than 

by referring to the Counts von Berg and 

their ancestral home? Each of these works 

of art comes in an elegant leather covered 

gift box with a certificate of authenticity 

and individual serial number. 

The wood was sourced from the so-called 

keep, the main tower of Burg Castle, which 

is an impressive 105 feet tall. The foundation 

of the keep (46 ft. x 36 ft.) was laid in the 

first building phase of the castle in the 12th 

century. The six-storied defense tower with 

living quarters was rebuilt in the early 

20th century, modeled after Romanesque

BY LEADING RETAILERS 

What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster 

and Lüneburg have in common? Apart 

from a historic city center, landmarks 

that are famous beyond the borders 

of the region and a long standing 

tradition as important trade cities, 

they share another important aspect: 

these cities are the homes of excellent 

cutlery retailers, who have built their 

outstanding reputation over many years 

by means of their extensive selection 

and first rate expertise. 

We harnessed their decades of 

experience, excellent know-how and 

finely honed everyday sense for the 

requirements and needs of cooking 

and kitchen enthusiasts in our product 

development of the Boker Core series, 

combined with our almost 150 years 

of experience as a Solingen Knife 

Manufactory. The result is a product 

with dynamic lines, excellent handling 

and breathtaking cutting capability that 

earned the quality rating "recommended 

by leading retailers." 

The solid blade blank, made from a 

chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy 

(X50CrMoV15), perfectly suited for 

making premium kitchen knives, is handforged 

with Solingen craftsmanship, 

structurally optimized and then hardened 

to 58 HRC. In order to give the blade 

a longer service life and even finer cut, 

our traditional hand grind is then highly 

polished. 

"I'm particularly impressed with the absolute 

focus on functionality in the Boker Core 

kitchen knife series. The design is very 

pleasing – not too elaborate – and has a clean 

and flush connection of the forged bolster 

and the walnut handle, which also meets our 

hygiene requirements." 

Jörg Lamskemper 

Head of the Craft Guild Messerschmiede-Innung 

Schneidwerkzeugmechanikermeister 

Carl Herlitzius GmbH & Co. KG, Münster 

The forged bolster ensures a secure 

grip and protects the user from possible 

injuries in case of a slip. A special 

design feature of all knives in this series 

is the gently rounded spine. This makes 

the knife easy and pleasant to handle in 

any position and prevents unpleasant 

pressure on the hand – even if strong 

pressure is applied to the spine, while 

executing a rock chop, for instance. 

The perfectly proportioned handles 

round out the cohesive and appealing 

look, and are available in finely grained 

walnut, or durable synthetic, in our Core 

Professional Series. 

"Domestic wood types like the walnut used 

in this series are becoming more and more 

popular and can be found in many trendy 

kitchen accessories. We support the use of 

local materials and products that are still made 

with traditional Solingen craftsmanship."

BLADE SHAPES & APPLICATIONS 

BLADE SHAPES — PURPOSE & USE 

At first glance, the wide variety of lengths, widths and shapes of kitchen knife blades might seem a little confusing. Since all 

knives are ultimately made for cutting, they are distinguished by their specific intended purpose. The advantages of the different 

shapes for different applications are fairly clear and easy to understand, so that the overwhelming number of choices can be 

narrowed down. The following list of knife descriptions will help you find the right tools for your kitchen. 

THE PARING KNIFE 

The paring knife is a small solid foundation for any kitchen knife set. 

The blade is narrow so that it can follow the outer circumference 

of a small potato as well as the inner circumference of an apple 

core. Paring knives are most often used without a board, they are 

simply held above a pot or bowl. But you can also use them with 

your cutting board to quickly cut a single onion used in a meal for 

one or two people or the ingredients of a quick lunch salad. 

THE CARVING KNIFE 

The carving knife has a long narrow blade capable of cutting 

paper-thin slices of roast beef, pot roast or ham. The blade is 

narrow to provide a smaller surface for the meat to stick to. 

The first choice for foods with a juicy and dense texture. 

THE PEELING/PARING KNIFE 

The length of a peeling knife blade is comparable to that of the 

paring knife, though the edge is straight with a sheepfoot tip. 

This makes for better utilization of the full cutting length, because 

the blade is pulling itself into the cut. The straight edge is also 

better suited for cleaning and scraping root vegetables, because 

the blade has more contact with the surface and is easier to 

control. 

THE MEAT FORK 

Compared to a regular tableware fork, the meat fork offers the 

advantage of its two long and very pointy tines that can easily 

penetrate deep into the meat. That makes it perfect for carving 

and serving large pieces of cooked meat. Thanks to its long tines 

and handle, the meat fork also makes a great barbeque tool. 

THE STEAK KNIFE 

Steak knives are set on the table. Unlike regular tableware knives, 

a steak knife is sharp enough to cut meat into clean bites without 

ripping or tearing it. Depending on your personal preference, we 

offer steak knives with a smooth cutting edge for the purists, or 

with a serrated edge. 

THE FILLET KNIFE 

The fillet knife is an extreme form of the carving knife. Its main 

purpose is the preparation of fish. The fine tip can be used for 

opening fresh fish. The slender blade offers raw or smoked 

salmon practically no surface for adhesion. The flexible blade can 

be flattened onto the cutting board in order to separate the fish 

skin from the fillet just above the board. A light knife for light 

cooking.

BLADE SHAPES & APPLICATIONS 

45 

THE SANTOKU 

The Santoku knife, or just Santoku for short, serves the same 

purpose as the European Chef's Knife. The literal translation 

emphasizes this: San = three and Toku = virtues. The three 

virtues are fish, meat and vegetables. The Santoku became 

popular after World War II, when the Japanese economic boom 

meant that meat began to appear on menus next to fish. 

A Japanese blade shape was combined with a symmetrical 

European blade grind. One striking feature is the shorter 

length with the sheepfoot tip. It is proper to use the Santoku 

for pulling cuts, following Japanese tradition. The front part of 

European kitchen knives used to guide the knife on the cutting 

board is not necessary for a Santoku. 

THE BREAD KNIFE 

Professional chefs refer to the bread knife as "the saw." 

However, they are not just cutting bread with this knife, but 

all foods that are not strongly textured, e.g., cabbage. Pastry 

chefs use their bread knives to separate cake layers. The 

wide blade makes it easy to control in soft materials. Another 

advantage is the knife's excellent edge retention. When used 

correctly, a knife is not dulled in contact with the material but 

with the cutting board. With a serrated edge, only the tips 

touch the cutting board, protecting the real edge behind them. 

THE ALL-PURPOSE/UTILITY KNIFE 

The all-purpose/utility knife combines the best of all worlds. It can 

be used in hand and on the cutting board. The medium-size blade 

offers a reasonable compromise for easy straight and curved 

cuts. An aesthetically pleasing all-purpose knife can also serve as 

a very nice table or steak knife. 

THE CHEF'S KNIFE 

The Chef's Knife is the knife you buy when you can only have 

one knife. 

It is a workhorse, built for fast-paced kitchen 

battles. You use it to cook for your extended family, whole 

circle of friends or for an entire banquet. It is also the perfect 

knife for all passionate home chefs who like convenient cooking 

tools. The wide blade can be passed along the knuckles of 

your retracted fingers, which enables you to make swift cuts 

without risking injury. The food is pushed forward with the 

thumb. The classic long and pointy European chef's knives cut 

with pressure. With this technique, you really just use the back 

half of the blade. The front half is used to guide the knife on the 

board. You develop a fluid, even and easy motion and cutting 

rhythm. You can also use the spine to push the cut food off the 

board into the pot. 

THE SMALL CHEF'S KNIFE 

Like the Santoku, the small chef's knife is popular because of 

its shorter, easily controlled blade and universal applications. 

Thanks to the sturdy, wide blade, you can use the small 

kitchen knife for many tricky cutting tasks.

BOKER SAGA DAMASCUS 

CHEF'S KNIFE 

Close to the headquarters of the Boker 

Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, lies 

Burg Castle on the Wupper River - the 

landmark of the Bergisches Land. It is 

also one of the largest castles in western 

Germany and the largest reconstructed 

castle complex in North Rhine-Westphalia. 

Today, Burg Castle is used for a variety of 

cultural purposes, including as a museum, 

event venue and memorial. 

In order to be able to fully maintain this 

landmark in the future and renew the 

energy system, an extensive renovation 

program was begun in 2017 and is set to 

continue until 2024. The renovation has 

enabled us to obtain an exclusive inventory 

of original 100-year-old oak beams from 

the mighty keep of Burg Castle. 

With great care and craftsmanship, we 

process these historic oak beams from the 

keep into handle scales for our successful 

kitchen knife Boker Saga, which is available 

in a strictly limited edition of 199 pieces. 

The design of the Saga series was created 

by Danish knife designer and renowned 

custom knifemaker Jesper Voxnæs, and 

has already won the iF-Product Design 

Award. 

The knife offers excellent handle 

ergonomics, is perfectly balanced and can 

handle all cutting tasks with ease, due 

to the sturdy full tang. To complement 

the handle material, which is not only 

beautifully patterned but also rather 

exclusive and historic, we selected the 

handforged stainless Damascus steel 

made by Chad Nichols from Mississippi. 

This premium Damascus boasts 200 

layers and a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC, 

as well as the Damascus pattern "Fade," 

with its fine, high contrast lines. 

While classic, non-stainless Damascus 

can be forged and folded in an open forge, 

the prepared layer packages of stainless 

Damascus must be forged with great effort 

in the vacuum. Damascus steel products 

forged by Chad Nichols are known for 

their exclusive look in the kitchen and, 

more importantly, for the excellent edge 

retention and everyday functionality of the 

beautiful material. 

Let this unique composition fascinate 

you! With a knife from this strictly limited 

edition, a piece of history will live on in 

your kitchen. Each of these works of art 

comes in an elegant leather covered gift 

box with a certificate of authenticity and 

individual serial number.

THE FORM — SCANDINAVIAN 

DESIGN 

The substance is nothing if its superior 

potential is not used in the appropriate 

form. Scandinavians are known for a 

straightforward, clear and, above all, highly 

functional design. The custom principle 

of "form follows function" is consistently 

implemented in Scandinavian design. 

And our partner, Danish knifemaker and 

designer Jesper Voxnæs, has been working 

hard at this for more than 20 years. 

Our decades-long experience in 

manufacturing outdoor knives and the 

creativity of knifemaker Jesper Voxnæs 

combine to present the concept and 

design of the Saga series, setting a new 

standard in cutting and ergonomics. The 

transfer of the design into the culinary 

sector guarantees that working with the 

Saga has become a unique event - the 

Boker Saga chef's knife was awarded the 

iF Product Design Award in 2013. 

The handle scales of the Boker Saga knife 

are a typical feature of outdoor knives that 

you ordinarily would not see on a kitchen 

knife. 

THE SURFACE — SLICK AND 

ROBUST 

The finish is key. It crowns the knife both 

aesthetically and functionally. For the 

Saga G10 series, the optimized cutting 

performance is not only guaranteed by 

the full flat grind of the 440C blade, 

but also by the surface finish, which 

is achieved in a specialized grinding 

process, and is characterized by 

outstanding gliding properties through 

the cutting material, thus enhancing the 

already superior cutting performance. 

For the Saga Grenadill series we offer, 

for the first time in the sector of kitchen 

cutlery, a stonewash finish. This special 

finishing method upgrades the existing 

cutting performance, as well as providing 

extreme resistance against scratches, 

with the micro structure of the finish. 

This tried and true finish has been used 

in outdoor sector for years. 

Mankind's oldest tool was invented 

for life in nature - we also perfected 

it for the needs of our time. 

Our Boker Saga series with G10 

handles and stonewash finished 

blades is also still available!

54 YAMAHIDE KITCHEN KNIVES 

Thinly sliced vegetables and meat as well as 

delicately deboned fish require high-quality 

tools. In cooperation with the small Japanese 

knifemaker Yamahide, we present to 

you a selection of traditionally hand-forged 

Japanese cooking knives with blades of 

dual-layer steel. 

The cutting layer of the blades consists of 

shirogami (white paper steel), a non-stainless 

unalloyed carbon steel with a high 

degree of purity and a fine structure very 

close to Japanese sword steel. It is most 

often used for fine cutting tools, offering 

excellent sharpness, easy sharpening and 

maximum edge retention. Its hardness is 

at 60-62 HRC. This means that the highly 

hardened steel allows for extremely fine 

edge angles of 15 to 25 degrees. 

The kitchen knives, traditionally ground 

on one side, have a slight hollow grind on 

the back side, which makes for extremely 

precise, straight cuts and best cutting 

results. In addition, these knives can be 

sharpened on a classic Japanese water 

stone. The ferrule made from water buffalo 

horn combined with the typically asymmetrical 

handle of magnolia wood complete the 

authentic, elegant look. Enjoy the best of 

Japanese craftsmanship. Please note that 

the one-sided grind is only suitable for righthanded 

users. 

1 USUBA 

The Usuba is a paring knife used for peeling, 

cleaning, cutting and chopping vegetables. 

The fine, one-sided edge makes paper-thin 

cuts, which is also great for decorative cuts.

at a premium quality level. 

The concept of this series comes 

from Boker's long-standing tradition of 

manufacturing outdoor knives of the 

highest quality and superior functionality. 

The attractive, eye catching design lines 

distinguish this series significantly from 

the masses of average kitchen knives, 

without being too flashy. 

The blade geometry and the dynamic and 

functional design of the solid bolster and 

end cap guarantee, in combination with 

the flat grinding of the blades and razor 

sharp edge, 100% cutting performance. 

These knives are perfectly balanced, and 

are made of specially tempered high carbon 

steel to ensure outstanding strength. The 

ergonomically designed handle offers a 

comfortable and secure grip for effortless 

cutting. 

The handle scales are connected to the full 

tang with three flush stainless steel rivets, 

and are available in elegant maple wood or 

durable synthetic. 

The blade and bolster design allows easy 

re-sharpening and provides long-term 

cutting performance when used properly 

(hand wash recommended). 

Each knife comes packaged in a high 

quality gift box. Also available with a 

matching knife block, which is equally 

innovative and impressive, with its solid 

construction. The Forge block sets are 

shown on pages 60-61.

outstanding price-performance ratio, and 

is sure to fit all of your kitchen needs with 

superior style.

KNIFE SHARPENING 

67 

KNIFE SHARPENING 

The knife is humankind's oldest tool. 

The need for sharp blades is just 

as old and still very pressing today. 

According to a survey, more than 90% 

of German households use dull knives. 

Even though everybody uses knives in 

the kitchen, the subject of sharpening 

knives is still shrouded in mystery. For 

many people, sharpening and honing are 

unfamiliar territory - skills ascribed only 

to an elite circle of select specialists 

who use secret methods to make dull 

knives sharp again; it is almost like 

magic. 

However, there's really no wizardry 

involved. If you find the method that 

is right for you, you can restore the 

edge of your own knives to exquisite 

sharpness without a problem. One 

more thing about manual sharpening - 

there is an old adage saying that things 

done quickly are not worth much. If 

something is worth doing, it is worth 

doing slowly. A good manual sharpening 

process always takes a little more 

time. A manual knife sharpener who is 

primarily advertising his high speed will 

never be able to offer the desired result 

that can be achieved with the methods 

described below. 

Today, machine sharpening has become 

a good, practical alternative. A vast 

variety of home sharpening tools 

are available, but our experience has 

shown that machines with sharpening 

belts achieve a far superior quality of 

the finished product than machines 

working with grinding wheels. 

We hope that our overview on the 

following pages will take some of 

the "mystery" out of the subject of 

sharpening knives and motivate you to 

take a closer look at this practical and 

useful skill.

68 WORKSHARP CULINARY 

WORKSHARP CULINARY 

The Work Sharp Culinary series takes 

sharpening kitchen knives to a new 

level. The device offers angle guides 

and timer-controlled sharpening intervals, 

as well as different speeds for 

the integrated grinding belts to ensure 

easy handling. The automated maintenance-free 

dust removal system and 

the low noise level make operation 

clean and quiet so that your countertop 

doesn't mutate into a workbench. But 

the Worksharp Culinary series offers 

even more innovation: who doesn't 

know the high effectiveness of a fine 

serrated edge when it comes to cutting 

tomatoes, etc.? With the Ceramic Grinding 

Stick with integrated MicroForge 

(depending on model) included in the 

scope of delivery, you can provide your 

smooth favourite knife within seconds 

with a highly effective micro-serrated 

edge, which significantly increases the 

cutting pleasure. By removing the knife 

from the grinding belt, this micro-wave 

sharpening can also be easily converted 

back into a smooth cutting edge. 

1 E5 CULINARY SHARPENER 

The premium model comes with 3 sharpening 

speeds: for creating an edge, 

for sharpening and stropping. Fully 

automated timer control for perfectly 

calibrated sharpening intervals. The 

additional ceramic rod (usable length: 

20 cm) with a coarse-grain and finegrain 

grinding surface and an angle 

guide can be used to touch up the edge. 

It also offers the MicroForge to turn 

a straight edge into a micro-serrated 

edge in seconds. Power: 220V. Comes 

with 3 grinding belts (medium /P120). 

Item No. 09DX051 € 199,95

The Work Sharp Culinary M3 with 

exchangeable sharpening rod insert, a 

conical diamond rod for pre-grinding 

and a two-level ceramic rod (medium 

and fine) for stropping. Integrated angle 

guide for easy touch-up sharpening. 

With the also integrated MicroForge, 

you can turn any straight edge into a 

micro-serrated edge in just seconds, 

which significantly increases cutting 

performance. The insert is easy to 

change. Sharpening rod length: 20 cm. 

3 E5 UPGRADE KIT 

Upgrade kit for the discerning knife 

owner with even more specific options 

for adjusting the Work Sharp Culinary 

E5 to various grinds and angles. Changing 

the angle guide to 15° (for Japanese-style 

knives) or 20° (for western 

kitchen knives) only takes seconds. The 

kit also includes 5 belts with 4 different 

grains (1x coarse/120ZA, 2x medium/120,

SHARPENING 

SHARPENING 

Of course, modern technology also finds 

its way into the subject of sharpening, but 

there are still many traditionalists among 

the "experts" of this subject. And that 

usually means using bench stones. 

Such stones can be of very different 

nature; they can be natural stones, 

synthetically produced stones, or even 

mixed forms. 

Basically, stones are not used dry. 

Depending on the stone one needs water 

(as for example with Japanese water 

stones, which must be watered properly, 

or the Belgian Brocken, with which only 

the surface is moistened), or in addition, 

oil, as with the Arkansas stones proven 

for centuries. While the oil of the oil 

stone only has the task to ensure the 

gliding on the stone and to flush removed 

steel particles out of the stone, the water 

forms a grinding sludge especially with 

the Japanese water stones, which is 

decisively involved in sharpening. 

Especially for particularly fine cutting 

edges, the highest qualities of the 

Arkansas oilstones have enormous 

potential, but here too personal 

preferences are often decisive. 

There are different ways of sharpening 

on the bench stone: while one prefers 

to sharpen one side of the blade with 

circular movements or on the path of an 

"8" with the cutting edge (i.e. the back of 

the blade in front) until a burr is formed 

and then changes sides, the reciprocal 

pull against the cutting edge (i.e. with 

the cutting edge in front) is a popular 

method, especially for fine honing. And as 

so often in life, there is not one truth here; 

trying out and finding out the personally 

preferred method is a recommendable 

way here. 

It is essential to keep the correct angle 

when sharpening. When sharpening on 

the stone, the correct angle has to be 

determined on the one hand, and on the 

other hand it has to be kept constant 

during the whole sharpening process, 

which of course requires some practice 

and experience. 

Those who appreciate the traditional 

method, but are open to more modern 

materials, will of course also consider 

bench stones made of ceramic or with 

diamond coating. While the handling is 

identical to that of water or oil stones, oil 

or water can usually be avoided here, and 

the wide range of grains also offers all 

possibilities here. 

It is important that after sharpening a 

burr is removed cleanly, depending on 

the grinding method. This can be done, 

for example, by using honing leather, 

which, possibly treated with abrasive 

paste, represents the final step and gives 

the cutting edge "the final polish" (see 

page 72). 

If you don't feel safe holding the 

angle freehand, there are different 

sharpening systems available that offer 

a corresponding angle aid, but ultimately 

work in a similar way to a bench stone. 

One example is the Spyderco Triangle 

Sharpmaker, where the plane of focus 

is tilted into the longitudinal axis. The 

sharpening angle is determined by the 

V-shaped arrangement of the rods, 

and the knife only has to be guided 

downwards along the entire length of the 

blade, alternating vertically left and right 

along the stone (see p. 72). 

Although sharpening is also carried out 

by hand, it is much easier to hold the 

knife perpendicular than to maintain a 

specific angle on a lying bench stone. 

Therefore, sharpening systems are an 

excellent compromise for all those who 

not only value the fine result, but who 

may even enjoy the process of sharpening 

and honing by hand. 

Before we come to another sharpening 

option, we would like to say a few words 

about the good old sharpening steel. 

Often misunderstood as a sharpening tool, 

sharpening steel still has its justification 

today. However, as already indicated, it is 

not suitable for sharpening a blunt knife 

because it does not remove material from 

the cutting edge. 

Basically, a sharpening steel is only used 

to keep a sharp kitchen knife sharp. 

The finely tapered cutting edge, which 

can be knocked over when it comes 

into contact with bone or a hard cutting 

surface, for example, is straightened up 

again with the sharpening steel. To do 

this, carefully attach the knife and pull 

it over the sharpening steel a few times 

with light pressure alternately with the 

back of the blade first (!). This will 

straighten up the blade again and you can 

start to work with fresh cutting power. 

The sharpening steel should not be 

confused with its similar half brother, the 

rod sharpener. Although very similar in 

appearance, the difference lies in the fact 

that the rod sharpener is made of abrasive 

(material-removing) materials, such as 

ceramic, synthetic ruby or a diamondcoated 

steel. 

Since such a rod sharpener is used for 

sharpening, it also differs in its handling. 

Used mainly for quick "refreshing" of the 

sharpness in between, the blade of the 

rod sharpener is usually guided along the 

rod with the cutting edge first until the 

desired sharpness is achieved. In contrast 

to sharpening steel, material is removed 

from the cutting edge, which means that 

a real sharpening process takes place. 

And you have to know that neither of the 

two tools is suitable to fulfil the function 

of the other!

CHAMPAGNE SABERS

1 FOX CHAMPAGNE SABER 

The tradition of opening a Champagne 

bottle with a saber was born in the 

Napoleonic era. The "sabrage" with the 

Briquet saber was founded in 1812 by the 

general himself after winning a battle. 

This unique custom has survived to this 

day, and not only in France. It is a special 

highlight at any festive occasion. When 

done correctly, it generally works without 

issue. After the wire basket is removed 

from the cork, one drives the blade of the 

saber along the bottleneck and onto the 

thickening of the neck below the bottle 

head. The whole bottle head comes off 

with a bang and the Champagne flows 

out. Any resulting glass fragments fly 

forward, propelled by the pressure. The 

torn off bottle head with the cork will 

be labeled with the date and will then 

serve as a reminder of the celebration 

or as a talisman. True to the original, the 

especially high quality Champagne Saber 

by Fox is manufactured in the famous 

cutlery workshop in Maniago, Italy. The 

blade is made of corrosion resistant 

T5MOV stainless steel. The sturdy 

handle is adorned with an intricate, 

elegant design. This Champagne Saber 

is certainly ready for any challenges at 

celebrations. Comes complete with an 

elegant wooden box and a decorative 

stand. Blade length: 40 cm. Overall 

length: 53 cm. 

2 VIPER MATHUSALEM 

DAMASCUS 

The champagne saber for the special 

occasions in life. The fascinating 

Damascus blade (4mm thick) is 

deliberately not sharpened, and is made 

from 200 layers of carbon steel (nonstainless). 

The hand guard also consists

steel. Matching the exclusive blade, 

the handle is crafted of finely grained, 

beautifully polished cocobolo wood. 

Also features decorative handle screws, 

made of polished stainless steel, and 

a deep red handle cord with tassel. 

Limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, 

and delivered in a decorative solid wood 

box, with a certificate of authenticity. 

Blade length: 33 cm. Overall length: 

47 cm. Weight: 485 g.

Cooking with friends and family is becoming 

more and more popular. In the kitchen or 

outdoors, cooking and eating together 

is a defining moment of community. 

The compact, shortened kitchen knives 

SanYouGo and ChefYouGo by Boker Plus 

are perfect for use outside of your own 

kitchen. Jesper Voxnæs reduced the classic 

knife formats to the essentials, shortening 

the handles in particular. The blades, made 

from high quality 440C, are also noticeably 

shorter compared to classic kitchen knives. 

The SanYouGo was made from the essence 

of a Santoku, while the classic chef's 

knife was the source of inspiration for 

the ChefYouGo. The blades of these two 

extremely compact and flexible models are 

finely satined, while the scales consist of 

black G10 with a red fiber layer. Leather 

sheath included.

1 BOKER PLUS CHEFYOUGO 

Compared to the SanYouGo, the blade of 

this model is a little longer. In order to 

keep the right balance, the dimensions 

of the handle are slightly more generous 

as well - which doesn't at all diminish 

the compact and flexible qualities of this 

concept! Blade length: 11,5 cm. Overall 


2 BOKER PLUS SANYOUGO 

The classic Santoku grip, in which thumb 

and index finger are placed quite far out on 

the blade, is perfect for the short handle 

that curves into the palm and is held by 

the middle and ring finger. This concept 

provides outstanding cutting control! 

Blade length: 8,4 cm. Overall length: 

14,2 cm. Weight: 70 g.
