The Güde Alpha from the legendary Alpha stands for the highest level of craftsmanship "Made in Solingen" and impresses discerning connoisseurs with its quality and design.

The non-slip, finely polished Hostaform handle fits perfectly in the hand and ensures optimal ergonomics and maximum control when cutting. With a blade length of 18 cm and perfect balance, the knife is ideal for precise cutting, chopping, and mincing a wide variety of ingredients – from vegetables to meat to herbs. Thanks to its workmanship and high-quality materials, the Alpha also meets the high demands of professional kitchens. Easy to care for and robust, the Güde Alpha is aAlpha companion for anyone who values aesthetics and function. Choose this masterpiece of German blacksmithing and bring perfection and style to your kitchen.

Pro Tip:

Use the extra-wide and extremely sharp blade specifically for quick, precise chopping of vegetables and herbs: thanks to the large contact surface, the chopped ingredients can be picked up directly with the knife and conveniently pushed into the pot or pan. The ergonomic, non-slip handle ensures optimal control for fine cutting techniques and allows for fatigue-free working, even during longer cooking sessions.

With the Güde Alpha in the China shape, you can effortlessly cut delicate vegetable julienne strips, portion juicy pieces of meat, or chop aromatic herbs into fine cubes. The wide, sturdy blade lies balanced in the hand and enables safe working—whether peeling a pumpkin or precisely cutting up poultry. This versatile tool brings momentum and ease to every kitchen task.
