About the Knife Series

The GÜDE is a strictly limited special series featuring handles crafted from the burl wood of old hunting rifle stocks. Wood with a history—combined with the traditional Solingen blacksmithing craftsmanship that has defined GÜDE 1910. In the hunting world, “Weidwerk” refers to the respectful, artisanal practice of hunting; a term that stands for tradition, a connection to nature, and respect for the material. Values that GÜDE embodies GÜDE every step of the manufacturing process. This edition is produced in a limited run of only 25 knives. No further production is planned. The Weidwerk Edition is available exclusively atsolingen.solingen —nowhere else. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

About Franz Güde

Founded in 1910 and run as a family business, Güde continues the tradition of Solingen blacksmithing: in up to 55 manual steps, experienced blacksmiths, hardeners, and grinders shape raw steel into precise blades that combine traditional techniques with modern heat treatment.

The blades are forged from hard cutting steels with a carefully incorporated core, hardened, ground several times and polished by hand. The handles, made of wood or composite material, are finely adjusted – when cutting, you can feel the perfect balance, the warm feel and the quiet precision that comes when innovation meets classic forging technology.

About the History
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steel, Solingen knives

The GÜDE Weidwerk EditionGÜDE features a handle made of walnut burl wood, sourced from the stocks of old hunting rifles—wood with a history, finished in a Solingen workshop. The precise 32 cm serrated edge made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel effortlessly cuts through any bread crust without crushing the soft interior. Each handle features its own unique grain—no two knives in this edition are alike. In the hunting world, Weidwerk stands for respect for craftsmanship, tradition, and nature—values that GÜDE has instilled in every knife leaving the factory GÜDE over a century. This edition is limited to 25 pieces and available exclusively atsolingen.solingen. No further production is planned.

Pro Tip:

Bread slices best when you let the serrated edge do the work: Place the knife against the bread with the entire blade, and pull it through the bread in one smooth motion without applying pressure —don’t saw or press down. The serrations grip the crust; the weight of the 32-cm blade does the rest. This keeps the crumb light and airy and the slice even—even with Sunday bread that’s still steaming.

The Weidwerk Edition bread knife, with its 32-cm serrated blade, is your go-to tool for all types of bread—from oven-fresh farmhouse bread with a hearty crust to sourdough loaves, soft toast, or rustic wood-fired bread. The serrated edge cuts cleanly through any crust without crushing the crumb, ensuring even slices—whether for breakfast, a snack after a hunt, or a buffet at a hunting dinner.
In addition, the knife excels at portioning stollen, fruit bread, panettone, and cakes with a firm glaze. It also effortlessly slices pressure-sensitive tomatoes, cuts stuffed sandwiches in half, or neatly divides shortbread.
The handle, crafted from walnut burl wood, feels warm and balanced in the hand, blending functionality with the material’s history. Whether in the kitchen of a passionate hunter, at the breakfast table, or as a piece with a story to tell in a collector’s kitchen—the Weidwerk Edition turns every cut into a moment of mindfulness.
