Striking details such as the typical palm rivet and the precise three-rivet design underline the exclusive workmanship of the series.
Perfect balance, ergonomic shape, and the high stability of the steel make every knife in this series a durable tool for discerning connoisseurs and wine lovers.

Pro Tip:
Take advantage of the wide, slightly rounded blade of your Güde Dao Fasseiche by gently rolling it forward and downward when weighing herbs or finely chopping vegetables—this will give you particularly even cuts and allow you to work quickly and with control. For maximum precision, we recommend first cutting the food roughly using the full width of the blade and then finely chopping it with short, pushing movements – your hand will benefit from the perfect balance and comfortable weight of the knife.

In practice, you can use the Güde Alpha Chai Dao not only for classic tasks such as cutting vegetables and meat, but also creatively for Iraqi or Thai-inspired dishes. The wide blade and high blade spine allow you to chop vegetables and herbs with a flat, quick chopping motion, which is especially helpful when preparing large quantities. For a creative touch, you can also use the knife to chop herb leaves for fresh salads or to cut up seafood. The high blade spine also makes it easier to transfer the chopped ingredients directly into the pot or wok, which significantly increases the efficiency of your kitchen work.
