GÜDE honing service

So that your knife cuts like it did on the first day, even years later: our honing service restores dull or damaged blades to their former sharpness - precisely, professionally and directly in our workshop in Solingen.

This is how it works:

  • Add the desired honing service (matching the blade length) to the shopping cart.
  • Complete the order.
  • Pack your knife securely (e.g. wrap the blade in a kitchen towel and send it in a padded box).
  • Send the knife to our workshop - and we'll take care of the rest.

Packaging instructions:

If the original packaging is no longer available:

  • Wrap the blade several times in a clean kitchen towel.
  • Place the knife in a well-padded box (e.g. shoe box with newspaper).
    This way, your knife is safely protected and our employees can continue working with it without risk.
  • Please place the order number on a piece of paper inside the box—this will help us match the knife to your order. After you submit your order, you will also receive another email with these instructions.

Sharpening Service: Temporary Closure from August 10 to 30 You can still book our sharpening service and send in your knife. We will process all knives that arrive during this period starting August 31 and return them to you during the first week of September.

Professionals and many amateur chefs have made it a habit, out of love for good tools, to pull the knife over the sharpening steel before every operation and are still pleased every time, years later, when the sharp knife makes every cut seem playfully easy. (See also our brochure "Good knives need sharpening steel").

Customers who do not treat their knives so professionally and use the sharpening steel so consistently must expect the cutting ability to diminish at some point.

If the cutting edge and the cutting edge angle (approx. 33 degrees) and thus the functionality has been severely impaired, our honing service offers a quick remedy.

It is best to send the knives back to where they came from: to the Güde workshop.

We are equipped to restore Güde knives to a very good cutting ability at short notice.
