About the knife series

The Güde Alpha series is characterized by its high-quality materials and careful manufacturing. The handle scales are made of sturdy oak from old wine barrels, which is particularly durable and stable. The blades are forged from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened to ensure excellent sharpness and stability. Typical features of the series are the double bolster and the detailed workmanship, which is characterized by numerous manual steps.
Thanks to their optimal balance and special design, these knives offer a perfect working experience, complemented by the natural beauty of the oak wood. Each piece in the Alpha series is carefully handcrafted, making it a unique experience to enjoy the sharpness and handling of the knives.

About the history
Knives Solingen, Güde knives, chef's knives Solingen, knife set, sharpening steel, solinger knives

Experience the highest precision and traditional craftsmanship from Solingen perfection with the Güde Alpha Güde . The **hand-forged blade** made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel impresses with its exceptional sharpness and durability—ideal for securely holding and stylishly carving all types of meat. In **over 40 manual steps**, a truly unique product is created that combines the highest quality craftsmanship with state-of-the-art manufacturing methods. The **18 cm long, extra-sturdy prongs** allow even large roasts to be portioned effortlessly.A special highlight is the ergonomically shaped handle made from **100-year-old barrel oak**: it gives each fork its unique character, offers optimal grip and is also naturally antibacterial and extremely durable. The elegant design makes this meat fork not only an indispensable tool for carving at the table or barbecue, but also an exclusive eye-catcher in any kitchen.With the Güde from the Alpha series, you are investing in sustainable quality and timeless elegance – for anyone who demands the highest standards when preparing and serving meat and values genuine craftsmanship. An exclusive piece of Solingen blacksmithing that will enrich your kitchen and last for generations.

Pro Tip:

When carving or portioning large roasts, always secure them with the Alpha meat fork by placing the sturdy, long prongs as close as possible to the bone or to the area with the least juice loss—this will prevent the meat from drying out and give you full control when cutting and serving. You can also use the meat fork to check the degree of doneness; the sharp prongs allow you to test the meat precisely without piercing or damaging it unnecessarily.

The Güde Alpha Güde impresses with its precisely hand-forged prongs and unique handle made from 100-year-old oak barrels – a functional and elegant tool designed especially for connoisseurs who appreciate craftsmanship and perfection when carving and serving meat.

Thanks to the extra-stable, 18 cm long fork prongs, you can securely and effortlessly hold even large pieces of meat for stylish carving when using it at the table or grill – without burning your hands or damaging the meat. When grilling or baking, the meat fork makes it easy to check the doneness or carefully turn roasts, with the narrow tines minimizing the loss of meat juices. It is particularly advantageous when portioning roasts, roast beef, or ham, as the fork keeps the meat securely in place.

Creative chefs appreciate the versatility of the meat fork: use it to stylishly arrange grilled vegetables, to secure and portion cheese platters, or to safely lift delicate fish fillets. The meat fork also shines as an elegant tool when serving cold cuts or antipasti at a buffet, combining sophisticated food presentation with design awareness. The ergonomic handle made of historic barrel oak not only fits comfortably in the hand, but also makes the meat fork an eye-catcher every time and an expression of lasting appreciation for genuine craftsmanship.
