About Franz Güde GmbH

Franz Güde has been manufacturing Güde Solingen since 1910. Solingen has been manufacturing knives using traditional craftsmanship. For four generations, the family-owned manufacturer has combined proven blacksmithing expertise with the highest quality standards.

Every Güde is genuinely handmade —from forging the blade to sharpening the cutting edge. The knives from Solingen are known for their exceptional sharpness, durability, and perfect balance.

When you choose a Güde, you are choosing a tool for life: precise in the hand, reliable in the cut, and made in Germany with passion.

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 craftsmanship from Solingen state-of-the-art precision. In up to 55 manual steps, high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel is transformed into a hand-forged blade that impresses with its exceptional sharpness and durability. The fine, pointed serrated edge guarantees perfect, clean cuts through crispy crusts and soft bread crumbs alike and is ideal for all types of bread, rolls, baguettes, and even fruit with a firm skin. With a blade length of 21 cm or, depending on the model, 32 cm, the knives can be adapted to a wide variety of needs in the kitchen. The ergonomically shaped handle made of fine walnut wood fits comfortably in the hand, offers a unique grain, and ensures an exclusive, natural appearance. Thanks to the special balance and careful grinding, you will experience cutting comfort at the highest level. This bread knife stands for uncompromising quality and is a real statement for connoisseurs who value precision, aesthetics, and sustainable craftsmanship. Turn every bread break into a special moment of enjoyment with a knife that can last for generations.

Pro Tip:

When cutting, pull the bread knife through the bread with light pressure in long, continuous sawing motions—the pointed serrated edge does the work by itself without breaking the crust or crushing the crumb. Always place the knife at the highest point of the crust and guide the blade through at a flat angle to obtain even slices without crumbs.

With the Güde Alpha Güde , you will experience cutting precision at the highest level—made for connoisseurs who appreciate genuine enjoyment and sustainable craftsmanship with every bread break.

This bread knife is ideal if you want to cut a wide variety of breads on a regular basis: Whether crispy loaves, fresh rolls, or airy baguettes – the fine, pointed serrated edge glides through hard crusts without crushing the soft crumb.

Thanks to the exceptional sharpness of the hand-forged blade, even warm, soft bread or rustic farmhouse loaves can be portioned effortlessly and cleanly. Even bread with a particularly hard or thick crust, which quickly pushes conventional knives to their limits, can be cut precisely and effortlessly – saving time and keeping the bread looking attractive.

Used creatively, the bread knife is also ideal for portioning fruit and vegetables with a firm skin, such as melons, pineapples, or pumpkins. Even large sheet cakes or sandwich rolls can be cut with a single, clean stroke thanks to the long blade and perfect sharpening. For special moments of enjoyment, you can also use the knife to cut baked focaccia or light ciabatta into even pieces without tearing the dough.

Experience the versatility and comfortable handling of the ergonomic walnut handle: it fits securely in your hand and makes cutting a comfortable pleasure, even with long baked goods or many portions.

This turns cutting bread from an everyday task into a ritual that brings quality, enjoyment, and aesthetics to every kitchen.
