What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Münster and Lüneburg have in common? Apart from historic city centres, famous landmarks and a long standing tradition as important trade cities, they share another important aspect: These cities are the homes of excellent steelware retailers, who have built their outstanding reputation over many years by means of their extensive selection and expertise.

Boker has harnessed their decades of experience and finely honed sense for the requirements of cooking and kitchen enthusiasts in the product development of the Boker Core series, combined with our almost 150 years of experience as a Solingen Knife Manufactory. The result is a premium product with dynamic lines, excellent handling and breathtaking cutting capability.

The Boker Style knife block is made from premium walnut and comes with four walnut handled knives from the Boker Core series (Chef's 20cm Knife, Bread Knife, Small 16cm Chef's Knife and Paring Knife) that are also available separately. It offers an exclusive mix of premium materials, solid natural wood and brushed stainless steel.

The knives' solid blade slugs are made from a chromium molybdenum vanadium alloy (X50CrMoV15), perfectly suited for premium kitchen knives, and are hand forged with Solingen craftsmanship, structurally optimised and 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.

The forged bolster ensures a secure and protective grip. The Core Series' knives feature a gently rounded spine, making the knife easy and comfortable to handle in any position, even if strong pressure is applied to the spine, while executing a rock chop, for instance. The beautifully patterned and perfectly proportioned walnut handles round out the cohesive and appealing look. A superb set for a lifetime of culinary art, with a Lifetime Guarantee on materials and workmanship.

Please note - as a natural material, there may be shade and pattern variations in the timber handles and block. Each one is unique. Care of wooden items- Do not place in dishwasher. Hand wash and dry promptly, and keep oiled with a food grade oil or board cream.
