About the knife series
The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional blacksmithing with natural aesthetics: each knife is forged from stainless CMV steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand. The handle scales, made from 100 to 500-year-old olive wood, make each knife a unique piece with a warm feel and exceptional durability. The classic forged double bolster and ergonomic handle design ensure optimal balance and fatigue-free working in the kitchen. Please note: These high-quality knives should only be cleaned by hand to protect the precious olive wood.

Güde, a family-owned company based in Solingen since 1910, continues the tradition of blade manufacturing: in the workshop, traditional blacksmithing meets precision manufacturing—the blade is forged, heat-treated, finely ground, and manually finished in several stages.
High-alloy steels and carefully crafted handle materials are used to create knives that you can feel in your hand — well-balanced, warm to the touch, and razor-sharp precision, the result of up to 55 manual steps in which traditional techniques meet modern ergonomic and hygiene requirements.
The Güde Alpha Chai Dao combines traditional Chinese knife craftsmanship with proven Solingen craftsmanship and is manufactured in up to 55 manual steps to create an exceptional kitchen tool. With its wide, powerful blade, this classic cleaver effortlessly masters the cutting of meat, bones, and poultry, as well as the coarse chopping of vegetables and herbs. The elegant olive wood handle fits perfectly in the hand and offers a secure grip even during powerful chopping movements, while the robust construction guarantees years of reliability in the kitchen. The perfect balance between blade and handle reduces the effort required when working and makes the Chai Dao the ideal tool for anyone who values efficiency and precision. Experience how traditional craftsmanship takes your kitchen work to a new level with this masterpiece from Solingen.
Pro Tip:
Use the Chai Dao with a chopping motion from top to bottom instead of applying lateral pressure—this will protect the blade and ensure clean cuts. Let the knife's own weight do the work for you and guide it in a controlled manner to cut through even the hardest bones with ease.
The Chai Dao Olive is your ideal partner for all tasks that require powerful and precise cutting. Whether you want to portion poultry, cut up ribs, or chop harder vegetables such as pumpkin and cabbage, this traditional cleaver masters these challenges with ease. The wide, heavy blade is perfect for chopping herbs and nuts, while the flat side is also ideal for crushing garlic or ginger.
The Chai Dao shows its versatility in Asian cuisine: use it to cut through bony pieces of fish with precision, chop spare ribs for your barbecue marinade, or chop vegetables for your wok dish. This knife also comes in handy when preparing soup chicken or cutting frozen foods. The wide blade also serves as a practical transport surface for transferring chopped ingredients directly from the cutting board to the pot or pan.
You can also use the Chai Dao creatively to open coconuts, chop chocolate for desserts, or work with firm root vegetables such as celery. This robust kitchen tool significantly expands your culinary possibilities and saves you time when preparing demanding dishes.
