The hand-forged, perforated blade made of ice-hardened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel enables effortless, clean cuts on all types of cheese—from delicate soft cheese to firm hard cheese—without soft varieties sticking to the blade. Up to 55 careful steps of handcrafting guarantee the highest quality workmanship, durability, and an exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The 15 cm long, wide, and sturdy blade offers optimal control and makes cutting and portioning cheese particularly efficient and enjoyable.

Pro tip:

For clean and effortless cuts through soft and hard cheese, use the pear-shaped cheese knife with gentle rocking movements; the perforated blade prevents sticking and ensures particularly even slices. Use the forked blade tip to lift pieces of cheese stylishly from the board onto the plate – ideal for moments of enjoyment at the table or at the buffet.

With the Güde from the Alpha series, you are choosing a handcrafted tool that meets the highest standards of enjoyment. The perforated, hand-forged blade made of ice-hardened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel effortlessly cuts all types of cheese—from creamy soft cheese to mature hard cheese—without the slices sticking to the blade.
This classic knife is an indispensable companion for any cheese platter: Cut Brie, Camembert, mountain cheese, or Parmesan with impressive precision and serve the slices immediately after cutting with the forked blade tip —stylishly and cleanly. The ergonomically shaped handle made of silky pear wood ensures a secure grip and a comfortable feel for all applications, even during longer preparations.
The Birne cheese knife opens up new creative possibilities: cut wafer-thin slices for sophisticated cheese towers, divide raclette cheese into perfect pieces, or arrange homemade cheese rolls for decorative appetizers. Thanks to the wide, sturdy blade, you can easily portion not only cheese, but also butter or truffles. This knife is a real eye-catcher, even for artistic cheese decorations or as a table tool for wine evenings.
With the Güde Alpha Cheese Knife, you are choosing an all-round talent that skilfully combines functionality, craftsmanship and design – for stylish cheese moments at home or on festive occasions.
