About the history
Knives Solingen, Güde knives, chef's knives Solingen, knife set, sharpening steel, solinger knives

The Güde from the Alpha series combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with state-of-the-art precision and is an impressive, exclusive tool for every cheese lover. 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. Thanks to the forked blade tip, cheese slices can be served stylishly immediately after cutting. The ergonomically shaped handle made of velvety textured pear wood fits warmly and securely in the hand – an expression of fine craftsmanship that combines function and aesthetics. With this knife, you are acquiring a genuine piece of Solingen's blacksmithing tradition that impresses both in haute cuisine and in everyday use. Choose the Güde Alpha Cheese Knife and experience craftsmanship perfection in its most beautiful form – an exclusive knife, developed for the highest demands and the enjoyment of the best cheese moments.

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.
