Editorial

IN THE OLD DAYS, THE KNIFE WAS USED AS A TABLE TOOL. Chefs not only make their money being famous Chef de Cuisines, but also enjoy cooking at home for themselves, their family and friends. The importance of high quality kitchen tools often becomes a passion. For anyone who prefers to own tools of the highest quality level, we developed an exquisite knife series, which leaves no wishes unfulfilled. Anyone who asks for quality, functionality, usefulness and a real value in the kitchen, gets the answer with the innovative knife series from the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany. In 1869, the first knife was made in the Heinr. Bker Baumwerk Manufaktur. And since then, first class knives bear one name - Boker.

The history of our manufactory is affected by eventful times. But one thing has remained constant over time - our passion and enthusiasm for extraordinary knives. We set high standards for ourselves, our knives and the way we make them. With a distinct feeling for quality, innovation and an affection for even the smallest details, our knifemakers have met their challenging job for more than 140 years now. Manufactum (made by hand) describes every knife from Boker, no matter if its a high quality kitchen knife, an extraordinary straight razor or a precious letter opener. With a knife made by Boker, youre not only making a decision on a knife - youre making a decision on a philosophy.

MODERN ELEGANCE HANDFORGED TORSION DAMASCUS

WORLD PREMIER AT BOKER: EXCLUSIVE KITCHEN KNIVES MADE OF HANDFORGED TORSION DAMASCUS. We asked ourselves how the knife of all knives could be made. Which materials and techniques could be used? Then we found the answer, and developed a world premier. For the new Boker Damascus Superior we use, for the first time, a four strand Torsion Damascus with a separately forged Damascus cutting edge, which is done by German Damascus forger Andreas Henrichs with fascinating precision, exclusively for Boker. In an extremely elaborate process, single Damascus layers are forged by hand to a massive square Damascus bar. This square bar is twisted 15 times, which creates the unique pattern of Torsion Damascus. Four of those strands, and a fifth non-twisted Damascus strand are forge-welded into the final shape. The result is a blade blank with extraordinary structure, unbelievable stability, and the basis for excellent cutting ability. In the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, the blade blank will then be processed by hand in more than 150 steps to the complete knife. HISTORIC ART OF DAMASCUS FORGING. This method of forging Damascus was used in the Middle Ages to forge extremely high class sword blades for the

gentry. Swords made of Torsion Damascus were extremely rare and sought after, so much so that the Vikings raided parts of Europe to obtain such swords. ELEGANT HANDLE WITH DAMASCUS DETAILS. For the handle, we use African Grenadill hardwood. Grenadill wood offers a beautiful grain, which is a perfect addition to the intricate blade, and provides an excellent balance to the knife. Due to its high content of oil, it is highly moisture resistant. The impressive wooden handle is framed by two Damascus bolsters and a Damascus butt cap, both made of stainless powder metallurgical Damascus with 300 layers. The handle pieces are individually hand-fitted to each blade, providing balance and beauty. Each of these works of art boasts an individual serial number, making it possible to track the entire production process in the Boker Manufactory. The knife will be delivered in an exclusive wooden presentation case and includes a certificate of authenticity and owners manual. Experience a knife which, when forged in this exclusive manner, is like no other.

The complex forging process from raw steel sheets to the final product - the truly elegant Torsion Damascus.

FORGED STAINLESS DAMASCUS

WORLD PREMIER FROM BOKER: ELEGANT KITCHEN KNIFE MADE OF FORGED STAINLESS DAMASCUS. The Boker Damascus Rose reveals the true afficionado... The blade and handguard are made of one solid piece, to provide superior functionality, in short, the ultimate art for work. For the 140th Anniversary, the Boker knife manufactory presented a world premier - the unique knife series Damascus Rose. It excites the ambitious cook, and also fascinates the technically oriented knife afficionado. 180 layers of stainless Damascus steel are forged in a complex and demanding process to one solid piece of blade and handguard. The result - a technical highlight and an aesthetic delicacy, because the beautiful rose pattern of the Damascus continues seamlessly from the razor sharp blade into the handguard. ERGONOMIC HANDLE MADE OF PRECIOUS WENGE WOOD, WITH DAMASCUS TAIL CAP. Extraordinary look and functionality are also provided by the handle. For every handle, the handguard is handfitted with a tail cap made of Damascus, which makes an attractive yet rugged unit of handle and blade.

To enhance the noble character of this series, Boker Damascus Rose, we chose the exquisite wood, Wenge. Also known as wooden diamond, Wenge is one of the most valuable woods in the world. The beautiful dark brown color and the fascinating structure make it a very sought after material for high quality inlays and furnishings. To provide perfect ergonomics, the R & D Department of the Boker Manufactory designed a special contoured waistline shape which provides perfect control and makes working with the Damascus Rose a true pleasure. Every single Boker Damascus Rose has an individual serial number and comes in a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. The Boker Damascus Rose - unique and representative of innovative craftsmanship from the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany. Allow yourself the amazing feeling of owning something truly special.

The Viking among kitchen knives.

Decorated at the 2010 Dutch Knife Exhibition as "Best Serial Knife 2010"

The Vikings impressed us when we were kids. Obviously they still inspire us today... The Boker Gorm.

www.bokerusa.com

Boker Gorm
BOKER GORM. Today, the vikings are still a synonym for extraordinary abilities. Not only were they brave and courageous seamen and warriors, but also very competent forgers. Contrary to the Japanese tradition, the high end Northern blades were not given from generation to generation as a heritage, but were lost for posterity due to their destination as burial objects in the sea - or fire burials when the owner passed away. Designed by the renowned knifemaker Jesper voxnaes from Denmark, the homeland of the vikings, and handmade in the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, the home of high quality blades, the Gorm (named after the first Danish king) combines ageless virtues which make this knife series a real masterpiece of kitchen cutlery. The choice of materials is as extraordinary as the design. Equipped with stainless 440C steel with its high edge retention and a Rockwell hardness of 58-59 HRC, Gorm is by far superior to any ordinary kitchen knife blades, and is as tough as the vikings.

The characteristically shaped hole in the blade makes the Gorm especially unique. But this is not only a design feature, it also provides a functional benefit - it works as a tactile response point, which provides excellent control while you choke forward on the handle like the professionals chefs do. From an ergonomic standpoint, the Gorm sets a new standard. The specially shaped handle is perfect for long and extended work, with a comfortable grip. Furthermore, it is impossible to slide forward and hurt yourself on the cutting edge. The handle scales are made of milled canvas Micarta with the typical linen texture, which is not only very robust, but also gives a very secure grip. The grip gets even better when the knife or hands are wet. Every Gorm knife is an expression of the finest kitchen culture. For that, you get your personal Gorm knife delivered in an attractive gift box, with an individual serial number.

Innovative and exceptional design from Scandinavia and manufactured in Solingen, Germany. Functional and rugged construction with high quality materials. 440C blade steel for outstanding edge retention. Ergonomically designed handle scales made of milled canvas Micarta.

CERAMIC
Boker Ceramic
BOKER CERAMIC. Modern technology for the kitchen - said effortlessly. And sometimes, it also feels effortless, like working with the Boker Ceramic knives. The Boker Ceramic Series: ultra-sharp, corrosion-free and dishwasher-safe knives made of ceramic - an extremely hard and durable material, comparable to a diamond. Blades made out of this ceramic are (and stay) super sharp for a very long time. This was proven by a study of the "versuchs-und Prfanstalt Remscheid" (see diagram). As shown here, ceramic blades stay sharp about ten times longer than normal steel knives. The handle is made of fiber reinforced synthetic material and offers a very comfortable, secure grip and ergonomic shape. Boker Ceramic knives are

very low maintenance, for they are 100% corrosion resistant and dishwasher-safe. Furthermore, they are lightweight, non-magnetic and chemically neutral, which makes them perfect for cutting delicate food. We often are asked what happens if a Ceramic blade is dropped on the floor. It does not shatter into many pieces like a porcelain cup. Experience this next generation knife technology!

Please be advised:

A knife is a cutting tool, not a screwdriver and not a prying tool. If you keep that in mind, you will enjoy your Boker Ceramic knife for many years.

JAPANESE WHETSTONES. The secret of world famous sharpness and edge retention of Japanese blades is a result of the quality of the steel, and the knowledge of blade processing. Though these are perfect conditions, even the best blades must be cared for and, from time to time, need resharpening. For that, the original Japanese whetstones of the manufacturer Masahiro work perfectly. The whetstones consist of a water soluble matrix. By soaking the stone prior to use, the sharpening particles become exposed on the surface, providing maximum sharpening performance. The use of Japanese whetstones requires a bit of practice, but will provide a more than satisfying result. Length: 7". Width: 2". Thickness: ". 5 8" SHARPENING STEEL.

BOKER STRAIGHT RAZORS. Demanding craftsmanship is one Boker knife manufactory, where a necessary - like when shaving by needs, before anything else, one

of our traditions in the maximum of dexterity is hand. A perfect shave thing - a perfect razor.

Since the beginnings of the Boker Manufactory in 1869, high quality straight razors were made in Solingen. Even in these early days, the focus was set on high end materials and perfect handmade quality and craftsmanship. Soon this strategy gained success, and Boker straight razors became well known. After the second World War, the production of straight razors was ended internationally, due to destruction of the plant by allied bombing. Today, an original Boker catalog from 1906 is the oldest document in the company's archives about the lineup of straight razors of that time. More than 100 years later, a new series of straight razors is handmade in the Solingen Manufactory and revives the old tradition. A quality check for every straight razor is the so called "thumb nail test." Only perfectly ground razor edges can be bent on the back of your thumb nail and return to their normal shape afterwards. Start the day with a true masterpiece - a straight razor from Boker. DAMASCUS BUFFALO HORN. Exclusive straight razor made of 300 layers of handforged Damascus. The long tradition of high quality Boker Damascus knives continues with the release of the straight razors. At the same time, a new technical standard is set. Normally, the production of Damascus razors stopped at 180 layers of steel. There were inherent dangers when using the normal forging process, that the thin blade would reveal different layers of steel on the cutting edge, thus causing a "micro saw." Our Damascus forger solved this problem and forges the blades for Boker Damascus razors out of more than 300 layers of high quality carbon steel (high edge retention, non-stainless). The center layers of the blade get paralleled, thereby creating an even, smooth edge for a perfect shave result. The blade, with its high hardness, is extremely sharp, without the danger of chipping. The handle scales are made of hand picked black buffalo horn from France, and show a beautiful contrast to the handforged blade with more than 300 layers of Damascus steel. The Boker Damascus razor is made by hand in 170 steps in the Boker Manfactory in Solingen, Germany. Delivered in a wooden presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. Blade: 5/8". Item No. 140506DAM $1,299.00
