About the knife series

The Güde Alpha series impresses with its elegant handle scales made from oak that is over 80 years old, which was previously used as wood for wine barrels and is therefore particularly robust and full of character.
Each blade is forged from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened, hand-sharpened, and manufactured in more than 40 manual steps.
Characteristic details such as the three-rivet design with finely polished stainless steel and the distinctive palm rivet, as well as the typical double bolster, ensure optimal balance, durability, and perfect handling.
The combination of traditional blacksmithing and exceptional materials results in a series of unique knives with outstanding cutting properties.
