PATINA [ˈpaːtina]
In Italian, patina means „thin layer“ or „veneer“.
It describes a surface (texture and color) created by
a natural or artificial aging process.
Sustainability, handcrafted products and supporting
local businesses have become trends in our
society. However, these aspects have always been
connected to our Boker DNA. Since our beginnings
in 1869, we have been offering a lifelong guarantee,
free sharpening services and large vertical manufacturing
range.
Products that will endure for decades and will be
passed on to the next generations are allowed to
show their age and history. These traces of usage
do not diminish the knife‘s value but are an expression
of quality, unique beauty and a personal
story - yours.
In a very short time, our new kitchen knife series
Boker Patina develops a patina through touching
acidic foods, which is not in any way a flaw. On
the contrary, the dark color that is created through
oxidation when the blade touches foods and water
serves as a protective layer and increased resistance
to external influences.
The fine structure of non-stainless O1 carbon steel
combined with the thin-edged grind ensure excellent
edge retention and superior cutting properties.
Quality is not just a matter of the used materials,
but also of the production process. Die-forged in
Solingen and finished by hand, each knife is a oneof-a-kind
masterpiece.
The composition of the Boker Patina Series is
completed with brass rivets and exquisite handle
scales of stabilized curly birch encasing the full
tang. This exclusive, hand-selected handle material
offers a vibrant flame-like pattern similar to the
finest burl woods.
The Boker Patina series with a classic three-rivet
design consists of three models with carbon steel
blades and a kitchen knife in hand-forged Damascus.
