About the knife series

The knives in the Güde Alpha series combine a hand-forged blade made from chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel with carefully crafted handle scales made from finely textured, velvety pear wood.
For optimum cutting performance and durability, the blades are stainless, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened, giving them a special hardness of around 57-58 HRC.
Characteristic features such as the full tang, double bolster and triple riveting ensure perfect balance, high functionality and elegant design.
Typical for this high-quality series is the production in over 40 manual steps, which means that each knife meets the highest standards of craftsmanship.
