About the history
Knives Solingen, Güde knives, chef's knives Solingen, knife set, sharpening steel, solinger knives

The Güde from the Alpha series combines traditional Solingen craftsmanship with modern design – for an exceptional cutting experience with bread and baked goods. The hand-forged blade is made from a single piece of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel and is manufactured in up to 55 manual steps; the result is unparalleled sharpness and durability. Thanks to its special fine serrated edge, the knife glides effortlessly through even the thickest crusts or fine crumbs without tearing the bread. The ergonomically shaped handle made of fine pear wood fits comfortably, warmly, and securely in the hand, making every cut a stylish moment at the table. Whether rustic sourdough bread, baguettes, or airy rolls—the Güde is the best choice for all types of bread and impresses with its precision and stability every time. The blade length of 21 cm or 32 cm offers flexibility for small and large loaves alike. With a truly unique piece from the Solingen forge, you are investing in an exclusive knife that will last for generations – the perfect choice for connoisseurs and discerning chefs.

Pro Tip:

For evenly thin slices, guide the Güde with light pressure and a gentle, sawing motion—this allows the fine serrated blade to glide effortlessly through crispy crusts without crushing or tearing the bread. For optimal cutting results, place the knife at the edge of the bread and use the entire length of the blade for a long, flowing cut – this will keep even larger loaves perfectly shaped.

The Güde from the Alpha series is your perfect companion for enjoying fresh baked goods—a hand-forged, one-of-a-kind knife from Solingen that makes every cut a stylish experience with its exceptional sharpness and ergonomic pear wood handle.
The Güde Alpha bread knife is primarily used for cutting bread and rolls. Thanks to its fine serrated edge, it glides effortlessly through crispy crusts and airy crumbs without tearing or squashing the baked goods. Whether rustic sourdough bread, baguettes, wholemeal or ciabatta loaves – with a blade length of 21 cm or 32 cm, you can easily master both small and large portions and always achieve even, appetizing slices.
But the bread knife can do more: the special serrated edge is also ideal for creative tasks in your kitchen. Use it to cut fruit and vegetables with a firm skin and soft interior, such as melons or pineapples, with ease and safety.
The warm, comfortable handle fits perfectly in your hand, reduces fatigue, and offers stability and control even during longer cutting tasks. This makes the knife ideal not only at the breakfast table, but also for arranging cheese platters, portioning sandwiches, or barbecuing.
With every Güde Alpha bread knife, you are investing in a durable, precise tool that will last for generations and noticeably enrich your kitchen routine.
