Boker Damascus Olivewood 21 Cm Chefs Knife

The Boker Damascus Olive Kitchen Knife line combines traditionally Japanese handles made of Olive Wood with razor sharp blades of stainless Damascus with 37 layers of steel, characterised by a beautiful grain. The extremely high-impact core of the Damascus blade consists of the high performance VG-10 steel. The noticeable sharpness when cutting makes cooking an experience.

The secret of this unusual sharpness lies in the material and its processing. The blade consists of 37 layers of Damascus steel. The stainless premium blade steel VG-10 used for the center layer is made in Japan and offers hardness, resilience and a homogeneous crystalline structure. Thus, constant sharpening is a thing of the past.

The Chef’s Knife is one of the most important knives in the kitchen and belongs to the basic equipment. It has a slightly wider and longer blade than the Utility Knife. The slim tip is also suitable for cutting onions or small vegetables. Thanks to its length it can also be used as a meat knife. It is also easy to process large vegetables.

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.
