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.

The range features single knives - 20cm Chef's Knife, 22cm Bread Knife, 16cm Small Chef's Knife, Santoku, 9cm Paring Knife, Carving Knife and Fork - and is also available as a compact 3 Piece Knife Set.
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.

The forged bolster ensures a secure and protective grip. The Santoku is originally a Japanese blade form for a Utility Knife. Translated, this name means "The Three Virtues", being equally suitable for meat, fish and vegetables. Thanks to the wide blade, the Santoku is particularly easy to handle. The practical and perfectly proportioned handles of synthetic round out the cohesive and minimalist look.

The history of Boker can be traced back to the 17th Century. By the 1800s the German tool maker was producing swords and other blades for use in various European wars. In the 1860s the company had split, with part of the family emigrating and setting up factories in America. The German and American factories produced similar products, and both used the “Tree Brand” logo, representing the giant chestnut tree that was at the front of the original Boker factory in Remscheid, Germany in the 17th Century.
