About Franz Güde GmbH

Franz Güde has been manufacturing in Solingen since 1910. Solingen has been manufacturing knives by hand – across four generations. Each blade is the result of a combination of traditional blacksmithing and precise German engineering.

What Güde : even today, the knives are still ground, polished, and assembled by hand by experienced blade smiths in a complex process. High-quality steel and uncompromising workmanship make each knife a durable tool that meets the highest standards.

For you, this means that a Güde is not just a utility item, but a reliable companion that retains its sharpness and quality for years to come – made in Solingen.

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

The Güde Kappa with a 21 cm blade length represents the highest level of German blacksmithing from Solingen combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Manufactured in up to 55 manual steps, this knife guarantees exceptional precision and quality that can be felt with every cut. The hand-forged blade made of X50CrMoV15 chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel impresses with its long-lasting sharpness, robustness, and durability. Thanks to its powerful serrated edge, the knife glides effortlessly through any bread crust without crushing the soft interior – even crispy baguettes, airy farmhouse bread, or even large fruits such as melons can be cut with ease. The full metal construction from a single piece of steel guarantees perfect balance and feels pleasantly heavy in the hand, while the double bolster provides additional safety and ergonomics. The knife is dishwasher-safe, rust-free, and easy to care for—ideal for daily use in the demanding kitchen. When you choose the Güde Kappa , you are investing in an exclusive tool that impresses with its craftsmanship and timeless elegance, clearly setting it apart from ordinary kitchen knives.

Pro Tip:

For perfect slices, guide the Güde Kappa through the crust with a steady, gentle sawing motion —this allows you to make the most of the serrated edge and prevents the soft interior from being crushed. To maintain long-lasting sharpness, it is best to cut on a wooden board and avoid hard, stone surfaces.

Experience the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern design in your kitchen with the Güde Kappa .
The 21 cm long bread knife is specially designed for effortless bread cutting. Thanks to its powerful serrated edge, it glides effortlessly through any crust, whether you're cutting rustic country bread, crispy baguettes, or light and airy toast. The inside remains light and intact – a clear advantage for anyone who values perfect slices and intact baked goods.
The knife also proves its versatility beyond the classic bread snack: thanks to the robust, hand-forged blade made of X50CrMoV15 chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, you can easily make clean cuts through large fruits such as melons and pineapples, through cakes and pastries, and even through roasts with a hearty crust.
The Kappa is also ideal for creative gourmets: portion artfully filled sandwiches, cut tomatoes for bruschetta, or use the serrated edge to precisely cut through the skins of pumpkins and other vegetables. Even when cutting a sheet cake or pizza bread, the advantage of the long, stable cut is immediately apparent.
The full metal construction guarantees perfect balance, comfortable weight, and ergonomics. The double bolster ensures maximum safety when cutting. The knife is rustproof, dishwasher-safe, and extremely easy to care for—ideal for everyday use, whether in the demanding hobby kitchen or in a professional environment.
With the Güde Kappa , you are not only investing in precision and durability, but also in an exclusive tool that makes cutting bread a pleasure and opens up new possibilities for your creativity in cooking and serving.
