The Boker 03BO505 Forge Paring Knife is part of an innovative kitchen knife series from Boker that combines innovative and dynamic designs with a classic material selection, at a premium quality level. The attractive, eye catching design lines distinguish this series significantly from the masses of average kitchen knives, without being too flashy. The blade geometry and the dynamic and functional design of the forged bolster and end cap guarantee, in combination with the flat grinding of the blades and razor sharp edge, 100% cutting performance. These knives are perfectly balanced, and are forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength. The ergonomically designed handle offers a comfortable and secure grip for effortless cutting. The black handle scales are made of high quality synthetic material, and are connected to the full tang with three flawless stainless steel rivets. The blade and bolster design allows easy re-sharpening and provides long-term cutting performance when used properly (hand wash recommended). Blade length: 3 1/2 in. Thickness: 1.5 mm. Overall length: 7.9 in. Weight: 3.3 oz. This Boker knife isn't just for cutting, it's for leaving a mark. Limited lifetime warranty.
