Boker Cottage-Craft Santoku

Since the 14th century, the Kotten farm cottages have shaped the history of the German city 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 Boker Cottage-Craft chef’s knife series continues the heritage of this traditional craftsmanship with a carefully chosen choice of classic materials.

Particularly noteworthy is the use of the non-stainless C75 carbon steel, which forms its typical blue-grey patina after only a short period of use. The German 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”.
