Kiritsuke Alpha Oak

The Güde Alpha Kiritsuke combines centuries-old Japanese knife-making tradition with legendary Solingen craftsmanship to create an exceptional kitchen tool. The characteristic K-Tip blade shape—an elegant combination of the versatile Gyuto and the precise Usuba—enables both powerful pressure cuts and fine, pulling cutting movements.Hand-forged from a single piece of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel and featuring Güde double bolster, this knife offers exceptional balance and maximum control with every cut. The blade is ice-hardened in the Solingen factory and achieves an optimal hardness of 57-58 HRC – hard enough for lasting sharpness, flexible enough for versatile cutting tasks. The exclusive handle made of recycled barrel oak comes from disused wine barrels from renowned wineries and carries with it the history of decades of wine maturation. Each handle is absolutely unique, with characteristic grain and the typical, slightly honey-colored tone of aged oak wood. A knife with history – for connoisseurs who appreciate something special. The full tang ensures perfect weight distribution and gives you a feeling of absolute control. Experience the symbiosis of Japanese cutting culture and German precision workmanship – a knife for chefs who do not compromise.

Portioning sashimi into even slices, artfully cutting julienne strips, or finely dicing shallots —you can master all of this with ease thanks to the flat blade and characteristic K-Tip.The versatile blade shape is also suitable for cutting meat, chopping herbs with a rocking motion, or precisely portioning poultry. Whether Asian cuisine, Mediterranean dishes, or classic German home cooking – the Kiritsuke is your reliable partner for all kinds of demanding cutting tasks.
