About the knife series

The Güde Kappa impresses with its unique design and its manufacture from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, which is hand-forged and ice-hardened.
The knives are made entirely of solid metal, making them rust-free, particularly durable, and dishwasher-safe.
Typical features include perfect weight distribution and balance, as well as the characteristic double bolster, which guarantees safe and comfortable handling.
Each knife is created in over 30 manual steps and combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
