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.
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 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
