About the Knife Series

The Güde Alpha series is characterized by its oak handle scales made from old wine barrels, which have matured over decades and are therefore particularly robust and durable.
Each knife is handcrafted in a complex process involving up to 40 manual steps to ensure the highest quality and precision.
The blades are made of ice-hardened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel and are also sharpened by hand, ensuring exceptional cutting performance and stability.
Typical features of the series are the forged double bolster for perfect balance and the distinctive palm rivet, which underlines the handcrafted character and exclusivity of each knife.
