About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional blacksmithing with natural elegance: each knife is made from high-quality CMV steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand for optimal cutting performance (57-58 HRC). The handle scales, made from 100 to 500-year-old olive wood, make each knife unique with its characteristic grain and are triple-riveted – the middle rivet is decorated with the traditional Güde. The forged double bolster ensures perfect balance and safe, fatigue-free working in the kitchen. Care instructions: Clean by hand only, not dishwasher safe.

About Franz Güde GmbH

Güde a family-run company based in Solingen that has been continuing the Solingen tradition of blacksmithing since 1910.

Blades are hardened, ground, and hand-finished in up to 55 manual steps using selected steel; handles made of hardwood or modern composite materials are shaped and finely adjusted. When cutting, you can feel the cool touch, the clear precision of the cutting edge, and the balanced grip—a tangible combination of old techniques with modern testing and manufacturing processes.

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

The Güde Alpha Hacker combines proven Solingen blacksmithing with Mediterranean design and impresses with its elegant olive wood handle, which not only looks great but also offers perfect grip when cutting through tough ingredients. Manufactured in up to 55 manual steps, this professional cleaver effortlessly masters cutting through bones, chopping meat, and mincing harder ingredients. The robust blade steel and balanced design ensure precise cuts with minimal effort, while the characteristic olive wood handle adds a touch of southern flair to any kitchen. With this masterpiece of craftsmanship from Solingen , you Solingen a tool into your kitchen that combines maximum functionality with timeless aesthetics and makes even the most demanding kitchen tasks a pleasure.

Pro Tip:

Use the weight of the cleaver to your advantage: let the blade fall under its own weight instead of using force—this will allow you to cut through bones and joints more easily and protect your wrists. Always hold the knife perpendicular to the cutting surface to prevent slipping and achieve clean, precise cuts.

The Alpha cleaver is your powerful companion for all tasks involving cutting meat, bones, and firm vegetables. With its solid blade, you can effortlessly cut through poultry bones, chop ribs, or split whole pumpkins for your autumn cooking.

The cleaver is ideal for preparing stews, cutting up ossobuco, or portioning soup bones. The knife also shows its true strength when cutting up whole chickens or ducks, turning time-consuming work into a quick task.

You can also use the cleaver creatively for Asian dishes, for example, when roughly chopping ginger roots, mincing lemongrass, or cutting firmer vegetables such as cabbage and celery into rustic pieces. The olive wood handle fits securely in your hand and gives you the control you need, even when you need to use more force. For herb lovers, the cleaver is also ideal for chopping larger quantities of robust herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Even frozen foods can be portioned with precise blows without having to wait for them to thaw.
