Böker Manufaktur Solingen Cottage-Craft Santoku> Carbon Steel Knives

Since The 14Th Century, The So-Called Kotten- Farm Cottage – Have Shaped The History Of Solingen, The City Of Blades. The Massive Grinding Stones Were Driven By Pure Water Power And The World-Famous Blades Were Sharpened By Hand. The Chef’S Knife Series Boker Cottage-Craft Impressively Continues The Heritage Of This Traditional Craftsmanship And Convinces With A Carefully Chosen Choice Of Classic Materials. Particularly Noteworthy Is The Use Of The Non-Stainless Carbon Steel C75, Which Forms The Typical Blue-Grey Patina After Only A Short Period Of Use. The Domestic Plum Wood Used For The Handle Scales Is Hard, Dense And Fine-Pored, Shows An Even Structure And A Striking Colour Spectrum. Following The Centuries-Old Tradition Of Knife Manufacturing In Solingen, The Handle Scales Are Mounted On The Continuous Tang Of The Blade With Solid Brass Rivets.

A Knife That Is Also Becoming Increasingly Popular In Europe Is The Santoku. It Is Originally A Japanese Blade Shape For An All-Purpose Knife. Translated Its Name Means “The Three Virtues”, It Is Equally Suitable For Meat, Fish And Vegetables. The Wide Blade Makes The Santoku Particularly Easy To Handle.
