About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde handle scales made from fine oak wood sourced from wine barrels that are over 100 years old, which is exceptionally robust and has an attractive grain.
The hand-forged blades are made from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened, ensuring lasting sharpness and cutting performance.
Typical features of this series are the three-rivet design with the palm rivet in the center and the distinctive double bolster, which guarantees optimal balance and fatigue-free working.
Each knife is created in over 40 manual steps and combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with exclusive materials to meet the highest standards.

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

The Güde from the Alpha series is a masterpiece of Solingen blacksmithing, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design and the highest precision. The hand-forged blade made of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel remains exceptionally sharp and allows effortless peeling, cleaning, and chopping of fruit and vegetables. Over 40 manual steps ensure flawless workmanship – each knife is unique and of outstanding quality. The handle, made from 100-year-old matured barrel oak, not only gives the knife robustness, but also makes it an exclusive eye-catcher in any kitchen. With a handy blade length of 9 cm, you can enjoy precise cuts and maximum control – even with fine or delicate ingredients. The optimally balanced weight and excellent ergonomics guarantee comfortable working, whether you are peeling, decorating, or coring. You can rely on long-lasting sharpness and enjoy the special feeling of holding a genuine piece of craftsmanship from Solingen your hand. This exclusive vegetable knife from Güde the perfect choice for anyone who values precision, quality, and individuality.

Pro Tip:

Use the compact, extremely sharp 9 cm blade of the vegetable knife to peel fruit and vegetables directly in your hand with gentle, controlled movements or to cut fine decorations – this allows you to achieve particularly precise results, even with delicate ingredients. Thanks to the perfect balance and ergonomic handle made of barrel oak, you can work comfortably and without fatigue, even during longer cutting tasks.

The Güde from the Alpha series is a real highlight for anyone who values precision, craftsmanship, and aesthetics. With its hand-forged, extremely sharp blade and striking handle made from decades-old oak barrel wood, it offers you an unparalleled cutting experience—whether for everyday cooking or preparing special dishes.

This vegetable knife is traditionally used for peeling and chopping fruit and vegetables. With its handy 9 cm blade, the knife glides through tomatoes, radishes, peppers, and even firmer foods such as carrots and apples with particular precision. You can use it to carve fine decorations or cut delicate ingredients such as strawberries without crushing them. It is also perfect for peeling potatoes or asparagus cleanly or chopping herbs fresh and aromatic.

The knife can be used creatively, for example, to core chili peppers or grapes, to cut delicate spirals from cucumbers or carrots for decorative salads, or to prepare sophisticated garnishes for cold platters. Thanks to its excellent handling, it is also suitable for zesting citrus fruits or cutting onions into particularly fine cubes. Even for small tasks such as cutting mushrooms directly at the table or trimming fresh fruit at the breakfast buffet, the Güde proves its flexibility and always remains comfortable and safe in the hand.

With this knife, you are not only purchasing a tool for classic kitchen tasks, but also a creative partner for many unexpected applications. The distinctive handle made from old barrel oak also makes each piece an exclusive one-off that will enhance the look of your kitchen and delight you time and time again when you use it.
