About the knife series

The knives in the Güde Alpha Güde feature elegant handles made from finely grained American walnut wood, which are secured with three stainless steel rivets and the typical central palm rivet made from aluminum.
The blades are traditionally hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened, and offer optimum cutting properties with a hardness of approx. 57–58 HRC.
Up to 40 complex manual steps ensure perfect workmanship and interlocking of wood and steel, making each knife in this series unique.
Typical features of Alpha are the distinctive grain of the handle, perfect balance thanks to the double bolster and full tang, and the highest standards of design, functionality, and durability.

Every Güde is created by combining proven forging techniques with modern material processing. The blades are ground by experienced master craftsmen and made entirely by hand – for sharpness and cutting performance that will last for years.

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

The Güde Walnut Güde from the Alpha series is a true masterpiece of traditional Solingen blacksmithing and modern precision. The hand-forged blade made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel impresses with its exceptional sharpness and durability, which makes even the finest tasks such as peeling, cleaning, or decorating vegetables effortless and precise[1][3]. Thanks to its narrow, drawn blade with a blade length of 9 cm, the knife is particularly ideal for demanding cutting tasks by hand or on a cutting board[3]. Each knife is manufactured in a complex process involving up to 55 manual steps, which underlines its high quality and exclusive value[6][8]. The ergonomically shaped handle made of selected walnut wood gives the knife an elegant look and ensures a pleasant feel, so you can enjoy both comfort and a particularly elegant cutting experience[1][6]. The optimal balance between the handle and blade allows for safe and fatigue-free work, even during longer periods of use on the cutting board. With its robust and stainless blade, the Güde can be easily resharpened and remains reliably sharp even with daily use. Treat yourself to a knife that impresses with its precision, craftsmanship, and high-quality materials—an exclusive companion for anyone who doesn't want to compromise when it comes to cooking. Choose a knife that Solingen bears the name Güde Güde Solingen and enriches your kitchen with a real highlight.

Pro Tip:

Use the Güde walnutGüde with its precise, narrow blade especially for fine cutting work directly in your hand: hold the vegetable and guide the knife with a pulling motion—this makes peeling, cleaning, and decorating much cleaner and with maximum control.

The Güde Walnut Güde impresses with its exceptional sharpness and sturdy workmanship and is indispensable for anyone who values precise and comfortable cutting.
Classic, the knife is perfect for peeling, cleaning, and preparing vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, or cucumbers. The handy blade shape also makes it easy to finely dice onions, garlic, and chili peppers. You can guide the vegetable knife safely and precisely both in your hand and on the cutting board, and benefit from the optimal balance of the elegant walnut wood handle at all times.
The Güde can be used creatively to decorate radishes or carrots in an artistic way: the narrow, pulling blade can be used to cut fine strips, flowers, or spirals for eye-catching plate presentations. Even exotic fruits such as mangoes, kiwis, or figs can be precisely cored and portioned. This knife is also the first choice for making small vegetable snacks, shaping mushroom caps, or adding delicate garnishes.
The Güde Walnut Güde makes everyday cooking easier and allows you to give free rein to your creativity in the kitchen – enjoy the combination of Solingen craftsmanship and modern convenience.
