About the knife series
The Güde Alpha Series features hand-forged blades made of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which are ice-hardened and carefully sharpened by hand.
Each knife is one-of-a-kind and, thanks to the handle scales made of aged barrel oak with distinctive grain, offers not only a special visual highlight but also excellent grip and ergonomic balance thanks to the signature Güde.
Characteristic of the series are the finely polished brass rivets and the elaborate manufacturing process involving up to 40 manual steps, which guarantees the highest precision and durability.
With a hardness of approximately 57–58 HRC and their balanced design, these knives are ideally suited for fatigue-free and precise work in the kitchen.
