About the knife series

The knives in the Güde di Venezia series feature handles made from genuine wood sourced from old Venetian gondola posts, known as briccole.


This oak wood lies underwater for up to 100 years, giving it a special natural hardness and a distinctive, rustic look.


Each piece of wood is selected and assembled into handmade handles, giving each knife a unique appearance.

The combination of traditional Solingen blacksmithing and this historic wood makes the series a piece of Venetian culture for the kitchen.

The series includes various types of knives—all with handles steeped in history and character.

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

Experience craftsmanship perfection from Solingen: The Güde V805/21Güde from the limited edition Briccole di Venezia series combines German knife-making artistry with Italian lagoon romance. Hand-forged in over 55 manual steps, the result is a blade made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel that impresses with its exceptional sharpness, durability, and rust resistance—a true all-rounder for demanding kitchen tasks, from quick cutting to precise chopping.

The filigree design is based on traditional craftsmanship, but the precision of the workmanship sets new standards in modern knife technology. Particularly exclusive: the handle is made from almost 100-year-old oak wood from Venetian gondola piles, which not only gives the knife a unique look, but also an exceptional feel. Each piece tells its own story and brings a touch of lagoon flair to your kitchen.

Whether for vegetables, meat, or herbs, the V805/21 excels in every application thanks to its perfect balance, comfortable weight, and ergonomic handling. Its elegant appearance and distinctive material make it an eye-catcher on the cutting board and a coveted collector's item for connoisseurs.

Be inspired by the charm of this exclusive collection and enjoy every cut with a knife that is not just a tool, but a true cultural asset – made for those who appreciate the highest quality and individuality.

Pro Tip:

Use the wide blade of Güde di Venezia chef's knife to conveniently pick up chopped vegetables or herbs from the cutting board and place them directly into the pot—this allows you to work efficiently and cleanly.

Always guide the knife with a slight rocking motion and place the fingers of your free hand securely as a guide; this will ensure consistent and precise results when cutting and chopping.

The chef's knife is the most versatile knife in the modern kitchen and is ideal for cutting, chopping, and mincing a wide variety of ingredients. With a chef's knife, you can effortlessly cut vegetables, herbs, or fruit into even pieces, portion meat, or fillet fish. The knife's balanced design and ergonomic handling really come into their own when it comes to precision cutting, such as finely chopping onions or mincing herbs.

Creative uses include cutting larger ingredients such as pumpkin or finely slicing sushi ingredients. Even crushing garlic cloves or chopping chocolate for desserts is easy and safe thanks to the sturdy, slightly curved blade.

In short: the chef's knife can be used in a wide variety of areas – from quick cutting and precise dicing to the creative preparation of extraordinary dishes. This makes it an indispensable all-rounder for discerning amateur and professional chefs.
