Boker Knifestyle | Edition 2020 / 2021 | English

EDITORIAL
03
The knives offer a very pleasant composition
and matchless edge retention. After the
first use, the high-quality non-stainless
blade steel will already show a gray-blue
discoloration, the patina, which will build
up and create a durable protective layer.
Managing Owners Carsten Felix-Dalichow and Kirsten Schulz-Dalichow
The centerpiece of the new series is an even
more distinguished choice. The exclusive
Boker Patina Damascus Kitchen Knife is
a limited edition of 50 pieces worldwide.
The non-stainless wild Damascus steel is
handforged by Chad Nicols from Mississippi
and creates a perfect harmony with the
handle of stabilized curly birch and brass
rivets.
HANDMADE SINCE 1869.
Last year, we were able to celebrate our
150th anniversary with many of our loyal
friends and business partners. Now we
are ready to look forward to the next 150
years.
It is easy to forget that in 1869, the
year of our foundation back in „the good
old days“, the world was grappling with
unprecedented change and disruption.
Thirteen years earlier, the fist mail order
catalog had been distributed in France. The
telegraph as well as trains and steamers
brought the world closer together and it
would be less than a decade until the first
sound recording.
Overseas export offered promising
opportunities. Members of the Boker
family had founded cutting tool factories
in the US, Canada and Mexico and the
cooperation with these companies was one
of the major incentives for the foundation
of Heinr. Boker & Co. in Solingen.
Handling the seemingly modern challenges
of globalization, networking and structural
changes has been part of our corporate
DNA from the very beginning.
Therefore, the current seventh edition of
our logo was inspired by our very first
trademark from 1869. As a deliberate
design choice, our logo‘s clear and
understated lines created a reassuring
contrast to the unsettled, often chaotic
political situation of the day.
We took the stylized tree framed by a
simple line and gave it a contemporary
look. Going forward, you will be able to
recognize every product made by Boker
by this new, yet familiar sign of excellent
quality.
The highlight of the current product catalog
is certainly the Boker Patina kitchen knife
series. The blades are forged from O1
carbon steel with a very thin grind.
Of course, the new catalog also has some
other new highlights: New in our product
range are the forged steak knives by
Goyon-Chazeau and the attractive steak
knives with colorful burl wood by Maserin.
Innovative knife sharpeners made by Work
Sharp Culinary make it easy to sharpen
your knife in a professional manner and
at an unbeatable price point. The product
range is rounded out by new sommelier
knives for all wine lovers.
We hope you‘ll enjoy reading and browsing
the new Boker Knifestyle Edition 2020/2021
catalog.
