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:
- Wrap the blade several times in a clean kitchen towel.

This way, your knife is safely protected and our employees can continue working with it without risk.

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.

THE KNIFE.
Our THE KNIFE. lives up to its name: this all-rounder was conceived, developed and forged by us with a particular focus on perfect ergonomics. Its special shape and balance ensure an automatic over-grip of the hand, which encloses the blade when cutting and thus finds a quasi natural extension in THE KNIFE.
Güde Bread knife
Developed in 1941 by the heir to the manufactory Franz Güde , the special "GÜDE serrated edge" of our bread knives today delights bakers and bread lovers all over the world. The pointed teeth of the unyielding, sharply ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel ensure that breads, baguettes and rolls can be sliced instead of squashed, but also cabbages, melons and crispy crusted roasts can be cut more easily than ever. Unadorned, beautiful handles made of different high-quality materials do the rest for this knife legend of ours.
Utility knife
Our compact all-round talent is handy and effective - not only when it comes to precise work with smaller items. Its fine serration and double-sided hollow grinding make our universal knife the ideal companion for peeling, cutting and slicing vegetables, meat, fruit and co.
