Since the 14th century, the so-called Kotten have shaped the history of the blade town of Solingen. Pure water power was used to drive the massive whetstones and sharpen the world-famous blades by hand. The Böker Cottage-Craft series of chef's knives impressively continues the legacy of this traditional craftsmanship and convinces with a carefully chosen selection of classic materials. Particularly noteworthy is the use of C75 stainless carbon steel, which forms the typical blue-grey patina after only a short period of use. The local plum wood used for the handle scales is hard, dense and fine-pored, showing an even structure and a striking colour spectrum. Following the centuries-old tradition of Solingen knife making, the handle scales are mounted on the continuous tang of the blade with solid brass rivets.

The lard knife, or all-purpose knife, is a very handy mixture of a chef's knife and a paring knife. The most common use of the all-purpose knife in the kitchen is processing fruit and vegetables, which can be both peeled and cut with it. But smaller pieces of fish and meat can also be cut easily with it. Since the knife, which is ground on both sides, is used very often, it should not be missing from any kitchen.
