About Franz Güde GmbH

Franz Güde has been manufacturing in Solingen since 1910. Solingen knives by hand – now in its fourth generation. Each blade is forged, ground, and sharpened by hand by experienced blacksmiths.

What makes Güde special is the combination of traditional blade craftsmanship and uncompromising material selection. These are not mass-produced products, but tools with character, where every handle fits perfectly.

When you hold a Güde in your hand, you can feel the difference—a tool for life that gets even better with time.

About the history
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steels, Solingen knives

The Güde Alpha Güde B096/18 is an exclusive tool for discerning gourmets and ambitious chefs. Handcrafted in up to 55 elaborate steps, it combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with timeless, modern design. The 18 cm long, pointed prongs made of ice-hardened, stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel guarantee maximum sharpness and durability – ideal for securely holding, turning, and stylishly serving even large roasts.The finely structured pear wood handle is velvety and ergonomic to hold, ensuring a refined, secure grip for both festive meals and everyday use. Thanks to its precise workmanship and perfect balance, the meat fork is a reliable partner for carving and portioning, while its elegant appearance adds a touch of style to any kitchen.With this hand-forged meat fork from the Alpha series, you will experience the highest level of quality – a genuine piece of Solingen craftsmanship for those who do not compromise on function, aesthetics, and materials. Treat yourself to festive enjoyment with every cut and make your dining and cooking moments a special experience.

Pro Tip:

Use the Güde Alpha Güde with its long, pointed prongs to securely hold your roast in place while carving and to turn the meat effortlessly—piercing in the direction of the grain keeps the meat particularly juicy and allows the knife to guide precisely. For the best grip, deliberately hold the velvety pear wood handle at the transition to the ferrule, so you always have full control and can serve your roast meat stylishly and safely.

The exclusive Güde Alpha Güde opens up stylish possibilities for cooking and serving – experience the highest quality and an exceptional companion for festive occasions and everyday cooking.

The meat fork is traditionally used for carving and portioning roasts, steaks, or poultry: the long, sharply pointed prongs securely hold large pieces of meat in place so that you can slice them effortlessly with the appropriate knife. When serving, it ensures that the meat is placed elegantly and precisely on the plate—a real asset to your table.

You can also use the meat fork creatively when arranging cold platters, for example to place fine slices of roast beef or delicate ham hygienically and attractively. It is particularly useful when barbecuing: use the fork to turn barbecue food such as beef fillet, lamb chops, or vegetables safely without damaging the food or squeezing out valuable meat juices. You can also try the meat fork with modern food combinations, such as arranging slices of caramelized pear on veal or creatively garnishing duck breast with grilled fruit and spicy herbs.

Thanks to the velvety pear wood handle and optimal balance, handling remains comfortable and safe even during longer cooking and dining sessions. Look forward to a real eye-catcher in your kitchen that combines function and elegance—for perfect results on every occasion.
