About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional blacksmithing with Mediterranean design: each knife is forged from high-quality CMV steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand. The handle scales, made from 100 to 500-year-old olive wood, make each knife unique and impress with their characteristic grain, exceptional hardness, and weather resistance. The classic double bolster and triple-riveted handle construction ensure optimal balance and fatigue-free working. With a blade hardness of 57–58 HRC, the knives offer excellent cutting performance and are ideal for resharpening – care instructions: hand washing only is recommended to protect the precious olive wood.

About Franz Güde GmbH

Since 1910, master craftsmen in Solingen have been forging Güde chef's knives from a single piece of steel —without welded seams and without compromise. Each blade undergoes a multi-stage hardening process, during which chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel acquires its characteristic sharpness and flexibility.

When your hand wraps around the contoured handle and the blade glides effortlessly through vegetables, you can feel the precise weight distribution – a balance point that has been perfected through decades of experience. Here, traditional forging techniques are combined with ergonomic insights for fatigue-free working.

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

The Güde Alpha vegetable knife combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with modern design and is handmade in up to 55 manual steps. With its compact blade length and ergonomic olive wood handle, it fits perfectly in the hand and enables precise peeling, cleaning, and delicate cutting of all kinds of vegetables. The high-quality steel blade impresses with its exceptional sharpness and long-lasting cutting performance, while the natural olive wood handle ensures optimal grip and comfortable handling. Whether peeling potatoes, cutting onions, or preparing herbs, this handmade precision tool makes every kitchen task a pleasure. Experience the perfection of genuine Solingen knife-making tradition and invest in a kitchen knife that will last a lifetime.

Pro Tip:

When peeling, hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to the surface of the vegetable—this will allow you to remove the skin thinly and evenly without wasting valuable flesh. For precise cuts on small vegetables such as radishes or onions, use the tip of the blade and guide the knife with controlled, short movements.

The Alpha vegetable knife is your ideal companion for all delicate cutting tasks in the kitchen. With its compact blade length, you can effortlessly peel potatoes, carrots, and asparagus, while also precisely cutting small vegetables such as mushrooms, radishes, or garlic cloves.

This knife is particularly useful for removing tomato stalks, cleaning peppers, or finely chopping herbs directly over the pot. You can also get creative with it: carve decorative garnishes from radishes, shape vegetable roses from beetroot slices, or make wafer-thin lemon zest for your cocktails.

The comfortable olive wood handle fits comfortably in your hand and allows you to work without fatigue, even with larger quantities. Whether you're peeling ginger, dicing shallots, or removing the green tops from strawberries, this versatile vegetable knife handles every task with ease. Even when you're on the go camping or picnicking, its handy size makes it the perfect helper for quickly preparing fresh snacks.
