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 unique and, thanks to its handle scales made of old barrel oak with a distinctive grain, not only offers a special visual highlight, but also excellent grip and ergonomic balance thanks to the typical Güde.
Characteristic features of the series are the finely polished brass rivets and the elaborate manufacturing process involving up to 40 manual steps, which guarantees maximum precision and durability.
With a hardness of around 57–58 HRC and their balanced design, these knives are ideal for fatigue-free and precise work in the kitchen.
