About the knife series

The knives in the Güde di Venezia series feature handle scales made from the oak wood of Venetian briccole – posts that serve as mooring posts and channel markers in the Venice lagoon, among other things.


After about 10 to 20 years in salt water, they are replaced because the shipworm (Teredo navalis) – a type of boring mussel – burrows through the wood, leaving behind characteristic boreholes.


These distinctive drill holes, together with the grayish patina caused by long periods of anaerobic conditions underwater and mineral deposits from the salt water, give the wood its extraordinary character—making each handle unique.


The handles are carefully dried, selected, and triple-riveted, creating a limited special edition that combines Venetian lagoon history with traditional Solingen knife-making craftsmanship.

About the history
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steels, Solingen knives

The Güde from the Briccole di Venezia series is a masterpiece of Solingen craftsmanship, combining traditional forging techniques with modern design and maximum precision.

Each blade is manufactured from high-quality chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel in up to 55 manual steps, guaranteeing exceptional sharpness, robustness, and durability.

The 12.5-inch serrated edge effortlessly cuts through even the hardest bread crusts without crushing the delicate interior – ideal for baguettes, farmhouse bread, or ciabatta.

The handle is made from original Venetian briccole wood, the legendary briccole that stood for decades as posts in the salt water of the lagoon. The shipworm Teredo navalis leaves its characteristic boreholes in the wood, while the salt water gives the oak its unique grayish patina, lending each knife a unique character.

The ergonomic shape of the handle fits perfectly in the hand and enables fatigue-free cutting – so every slice of bread makes the special nature of this knife noticeable.

With its rich history, exclusivity, and innovative power, this bread knife is a limited special edition that impressively underscores your demand for quality and individuality in the kitchen.

With the Güde Briccole di Venezia Güde , you are investing not only in an exclusive cutting tool, but also in a piece of craftsmanship and design history—a truly unique item for connoisseurs and lovers of the extraordinary.

Pro Tip:

For particularly even slices, guide the Güde from the Briccole di Venezia series through the crust with light pressure and a sawing motion—this keeps the bread light and airy inside and prevents it from being crushed.

Avoid pressing too hard: instead, use the entire length of the 32 cm blade and the precise serrated edge to cut even hard bread or large loaves effortlessly and cleanly.

The Güde Briccole di VeneziaGüde is the perfect tool for finely slicing bread and baked goods. Its 32 cm long, exceptionally sharp serrated blade effortlessly cuts through even the crispiest crusts without crushing the juicy interior – whether it's a French baguette, rustic farmhouse bread, or light and airy ciabatta.

But the knife is not only impressive when it comes to bread: it is also ideal for cutting cakes, tarts, and fine pastries, as it cuts through delicate layers cleanly and without crumbling. Melons, pineapples, and large, juicy fruits with firm skins can also be portioned precisely with the bread knife. Even the toughest roast with a hard crust or a ripe tomato is a breeze thanks to the serrated blade.

You can also use the bread knife creatively to chop firm vegetables such as zucchini or pumpkin, or to cut pizza when you don't have a pizza cutter to hand. The versatility of the serrated blade makes the bread knife an indispensable companion for anyone who values precision, aesthetics, and enjoyment.

Discover the joy of transforming everyday tasks into something special with an exclusive tool—from classic bread slicing to creative presentation on your table.
