Güde Reviews

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.

The ordering process was quick and easy. Delivery time and packaging were excellent. The knife is absolutely fantastic. It's very sharp and fits perfectly in your hand!

Great bread knife. I also really like the handle made of barrel-aged oak—it gives the knife that special something.

The Santoku knife is a real gem. Ordering and delivery were very fast. I highly recommend it!

I'm very satisfied with the " Güde "Alpha series. We already have several Güde knives in our kitchen and plan to buy more. I highly recommend them.

I now own three knives from Güde (Chai Dao and Balkhauser Kotten chef's knives, 16 cm and 21 cm) and am extremely satisfied! The sharpness is unbeatable, the quality is superb, and you can really tell that the products come from a TRUE artisan workshop (and Güde still is one!), so I'm happy to pay a few euros more, if only to support businesses like this.

I picked out and ordered a knife online.
The knife is great, and the customer service—especially since delivery was a bit complicated because I was on the go so much—was excellent and very helpful!!!

Great knives, very friendly service—these knives are addictive.

I'm very happy with my purchase of two knives. The blades are extremely sharp and beautifully polished, and the handles feel secure and comfortable in my hand. The craftsmanship and materials are top-notch, delivery was fast, and the knives were well-packaged. I really appreciated the included band-aids—they were a fun little touch. I definitely recommend buying these!

I sent in my bread saw to be honed and sharpened, and got it back “razor-sharp” after 3 days. That’s great customer service—thank you very much!

The best bread knife I've ever had in my 61 years

The quality of the knife is excellent, and delivery was very fast and reliable. However, I’m not giving it 5 stars because the packaging is simply shoddy and completely out of line with the knife’s overall appearance.

The ordering process was straightforward, shipping was very fast, and the knife is excellent—just as described and expected.

After trying so many bread knives with plastic handles, I've finally found one that not only looks great and fits comfortably in my hand, but also cuts perfectly without pressing down on the bread.

Great quality. Just as expected.

Super-fast delivery,
Patch included😉

The large bread knife is super sharp again. Thanks.

Güde 's knife is excellent quality and looks great.
I'll definitely order from there again!

Perfect knives—there aren't any better!

I ordered the Nakiri Alpha with an oak handle. I would have preferred to stop by the factory outlet myself. However, driving in North Rhine-Westphalia isn’t much fun right now. I ordered it in the morning, and the next day the delivery person was already at my door with the package! The knife takes a little getting used to, since we’re more accustomed to different blade shapes in our culture. But after a short while, it’s a lot of fun to use! The quality is outstanding. I wouldn’t want to be without this knife in my kitchen anymore.

Great bread knife—it's large, sturdy, and super sharp. A truly unique and wonderful piece; shipping and packaging were also top-notch. I'd definitely buy from them again.

My latest addition is the " alpha " vegetable peeler in olive.
I'm thrilled:
It practically melts into your hand, yet it feels sturdy, and it's razor-sharp!
Thank you

You guys are the best

Top-notch sharpening service from Güde!
Easy online ordering, hassle-free shipping. If you have any questions, customer service is easy to reach by phone. The advice is friendly and knowledgeable.
The knives come back extremely sharp.
I’ve used this service several times now, and it’s always been TOP-NOTCH.

The tomato knife cuts through tomatoes like butter. I'm really impressed. And the Olive series has a really nice wooden handle. It was definitely worth buying.

These are just great knives. I've been using them for 10 years now, I'm incredibly satisfied, and I keep buying more of them. Great customer service, too!

Great product—the knife. Very fast processing and delivery. Thank you.

Very high-quality knives.

Great service at the store—I took our knives in to have them sharpened, and they were back in no time, looking almost like new... thanks. Güde You can also buy a wide variety of knives there.

If you’re looking for great forged knives and value local, transparent craftsmanship, this is definitely the place for you.
I always enjoy stopping by to see what’s new in their selection—they always have a nice variety of woods, too. Upon request, they’ll even engrave logos on the knives; I’m always very satisfied.
I highly recommend Güde to every knife lover.

The Knife! An incredibly beautiful, sharp knife that really catches the eye. It doesn't get any better than this. The packaging alone is impressive—but that's to be expected from a 400-euro knife.

Knives of outstanding quality and beautiful craftsmanship.

Awesome knives! A small but great factory outlet. The advice and service were top-notch!
I'm looking forward to more shopping at Güde

We received a very warm welcome at their factory outlet yesterday. The showroom is simply fantastic, and the selection is outstanding. Of course, we found exactly what we were looking for, and the new knife has already found its place in our kitchen.
If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stop by.

Great service and very friendly staff! I had a problem with my The Knife —the adhesive on the handle came loose; there was a quality issue with that batch of adhesive. The knife was replaced without any hassle and sent to me via UPS. Thank you for this oasis in a sea of poor service.

Tucked away in a residential building is a model room with everything you could want. The woman who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful.

We took a tour of the factory. Great!

On our way to summer vacation, we made a spontaneous detour to Solingen and visited two of our favorite knife manufacturers. At the small but charming factory shop at Güde , we had the perfect customer experience: a very friendly and warm welcome combined with knowledgeable and personable advice. We then decided to purchase more knives from the Alpha Olive series and are, once again, absolutely thrilled with the quality produced by this fantastic manufacturer.

I visited Solingen for the first time this week. Since I’ve been a big fan of Güde knives for a long time, this visit was a must for me. For anyone who—like me—has a hard time finding parking, I’d recommend not parking right in front of the company. There’s room for 2–3 cars in the courtyard, and another 2–3 cars in the narrow street in front of the company grounds, but you can’t be afraid of maneuvering.

The showroom is very small. I was surprised. But you can find at least one example of almost every product, and that’s really all you need. This brand doesn’t focus on mass production but prioritizes quality. Any knives that aren’t in stock are shipped free of charge. The employee was very friendly and answered all my questions knowledgeably. I bought two knives with olive handles and ordered a third one. You get a discount off the retail price. There were no cheap knockoffs or second-rate goods in sight. I’m totally thrilled with Güde.

A really great trade show with excellent quality
And very friendly.

Okay, the knives cost more than at IKEA, but here you’re buying “for life.” Really great, “local” products and factory-direct discounts. Highly recommended. The people here really know their knives. Parking spots are scarce, but you can find them.

Flawless craftsmanship! The quality control is top-notch, and questions about the products are answered promptly. I highly recommend that you try the Alpha Cha Dao (Chinese chef's knife) shown here.

Germany's Best Kitchen Knives

A family-run workshop! The knives are excellent quality! Highly recommended :)

That's all very interesting!

I've been using these knives for years, am very satisfied, and would buy from there again anytime.
I highly recommend them without reservation.

High quality and imaginative design
For example, the Alpha series—Mikarta —in red and black with a psychedelic vibe reminiscent of the 1960s. Or the elegant and sturdy Delta series; I use my Delta vegetable knife every day and am very happy with it.

So incredibly friendly!!!

I went to the Solingen Cutlery Day today.

The owner showed me how to use a sharpening steel. The sharpener resharpened all my knives and explained a lot to me. And in the store, I got great advice and restocked my knife block!

Unfortunately, I forgot one spot after all and will have to come back to pick something up. But we’ll also be coming back regularly to have our knives sharpened.

Thank you so much for the very friendly interactions today!!!

Very accommodating!!!

I recently sent in my Güde Damascus knife to be sharpened. It came back perfectly sharpened and well-packaged after two days. Perfect service and top quality!

These top products have been making my kitchen work a breeze for years.
It’s fun to slice bread with the really big “Franz Güde ”—lengthwise or crosswise… it doesn’t matter!
It’s such a guy thing and totally awesome.
With the large utility knife, you can cut a single slice from a roast.
The “boning knife” has also made it very easy for me to cut up and trim large cuts of meat, as well as fillet fish.
Time and again, I reach for the well-designed East-West combination of a kitchen utility knife, depending on what dishes I’m preparing.
That’s just how it is when it comes to sharp tools.

GÜDE - The name stands for handcrafted, top-quality knives from Solingen .

This German knife manufacturer has been producing knives according to traditional cutlery craftsmanship since 1910, thereby leaving a lasting mark on the reputation of the city of Solingen .

Its best-known product is the large GÜDE bread knife with its characteristic “Güde ” serrated edge, available, for example, in Damascus steel or with handles made of olive wood or oak.

Great knives! I highly recommend the open house!
