Hacker barrel oak

The Güde chopper Alpha Fasseiche E740/18 is an exclusive chopping knife from Solingen that impresses with its hand-forged 18 cm blade made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel. Manufactured in up to 55 manual steps, this cleaver stands for craftsmanship at the highest level and guarantees precise cuts and exceptional durability. The extra strong and wide blade is perfect for effortlessly chopping even pieces of meat with bones and also proves its worth for tougher tasks in the professional kitchen as well as for demanding private use. The ergonomically shaped handle is made of fine barrel oak from wine barrels that are over 80 years old, giving the knife a particularly high-quality feel and making each individual piece unique with a unique character. Thanks to its optimum balance and noticeable weight (approx. 400 g), the chopping knife sits securely in the hand and allows you to work efficiently without tiring. Ice-hardened, stainless steel ensures reliable sharpness and durability, while the blade, which is ground on both sides, guarantees precise cutting results. With the Güde chopper E740/18, you are choosing a tool that combines tradition, modern precision and fine materials - for anyone looking for uncompromising quality and a genuine piece of Solingen blacksmithing.

The Güde Alpha barrel oak chopper E740/18 is your perfect companion when it comes to demanding cutting work in the kitchen. With its solid, 18 cm long blade, you can effortlessly cut up pieces of meat with bones, whether you want to portion ribs, cut a rack of lamb into chops or expertly carve chicken pieces. The wide and heavy blade shape makes optimum use of the knife's own weight, allowing you to make targeted, powerful cuts through joints and smaller bones without having to exert excessive force.

In classic use, you can easily prepare stocks and broths with this cleaver by cutting bones and cartilage into manageable pieces. The large blade is ideal for pounding in spices and herbs - place peppercorns, coriander seeds or dried chili peppers under the wide blade and crush them with a targeted blow. The chopper also shows its strengths when flattening meat for schnitzels or roulades: Use the flat side of the blade to pound pieces of meat evenly thin.

Used creatively, the Güde chopper is an indispensable tool for Asian cuisine. Use it to cut crispy Peking duck into bite-sized pieces or portion roasted chicken directly on the bone - as is traditional in Cantonese cuisine. Thanks to its width, the blade transports the chopped ingredients effortlessly from the chopping board to the wok or pot. The cleaver is even excellent for chopping firm root vegetables such as pumpkin, celery or kohlrabi when conventional chef's knives reach their limits.

When preparing tartare or minced meat, you can use the heavy blade to finely weigh the meat instead of mincing it - for a particularly juicy, fluffy consistency. The stainless, ice-hardened blade remains reliably sharp and can cope with long periods of work without noticeable fatigue in your hand, while the handle made from historic barrel oak ensures a secure grip.
