Pro tip:

For wafer-thin, even slices of soft or semi-hard cheese, simply apply light pressure and use a gentle sawing motion – this allows the perforated, extra-sharp blade to demonstrate its strength with effortless, clean cutting. Thanks to the forked tip, the sliced pieces can be picked up directly and served attractively – for a stylish dining experience on any occasion.

With the Alpha from Güde Solingen, you can effortlessly cut fine slices of soft and semi-hard cheese without the cheese sticking to the perforated blade. Thanks to the forked tip, you can artfully arrange antipasti platters or lift delicate small pieces of cream cheese directly for serving. You can also cut Camembert or stylishly portion creamy, mature Brie to perfection with this knife.
