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 hand-forged
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.”

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.
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.”
