What do Trier, Wiesbaden, Munster and Luneburg 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 Core Set Square 5 Piece Block is a walnut block that includes four knives of the Boker Core series (20cm Chef's Knife, 20cm Bread Knife, 16cm Small Chef's Knife and 9cm Paring Knife). The block has a solid walnut body and an insert of fine plastic bristles. Magnets are integrated into the sides so that knives are always on hand and stylishly presented, while taking up minimal counter space.

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.

The history of Boker can be traced back to the 17^th 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 17^th Century.
