Reviews from Our Customers
I bought an Alpha Oliven chef's knife for my son because I myself am familiar with and appreciate the quality of the products from Güde Knives Solingen.
Franz Güde ’s knives are in a class of their own! They’re very sharp, have excellent cutting performance, and are perfectly balanced. I’ve been using Güde knives for almost 30 years now, and I’ve been using them regularly ever since. Proper care is essential, though—especially regular sharpening. If cared for this way, even your heirs will enjoy these great knives.
I had my bread knife sharpened. The knife came back much sooner than I expected. I was satisfied with the result.
Top quality and an outstanding selection of products. I think the bread knife Alpha —one of the classics—is particularly well-made. Fast delivery and well-packaged. I’d happily order again 😀
This exquisite knife manufacturer opened its factory to visitors on Solingen Cutlery Saturday. It was very interesting and well worth a visit.
It really makes a difference whether you cut bread with an ordinary knife or "saw" it with a Güde knife. The high price is justified. The packaging was kept to a minimum for environmental reasons. I'm thrilled.
So far, everything has gone smoothly from ordering to receiving the knife.
The knife looks amazing and feels substantial in the hand. I haven't tested it yet, though. I'm sure it lives up to its promises.
I already own the bread knife from Güde,
, and I’m very happy with it. So now I have my second knife. It’s of the same outstanding quality, fits perfectly in my hand, and cuts effortlessly, as if by magic. It’s made cooking even more enjoyable. This knife is simply fantastic.
