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

The Güde Solingen Chinaform DamascusSolingen from the exclusive Damascus series combines the highest level of craftsmanship with exceptional functionality. The striking 18 cm blade consists of an impressive 300 layers of "wild Damascus" steel, which are combined in a traditional forging process and given a unique, fascinating pattern using a special etching process. Each individual knife is manufactured in up to 55 manual steps, guaranteeing extraordinary precision, sharpness, and exceptional durability. The handle, made from extremely hard desert ironwood that is up to 1,500 years old, underlines the exclusive character and ensures comfortable, safe handling even during long cutting tasks. As a versatile Chinese chef's knife, this unique piece is ideal for rocking, chopping, and finely cutting a wide variety of ingredients – from vegetables to meat. Güde uncompromising manufacturing quality Güde this knife the first choice for discerning chefs and knife enthusiasts who value tradition and individuality.Turn your kitchen into a place of culinary inspiration with this masterfully crafted Damascus knife – and experience the exclusive combination of functional perfection, unique appearance, and the finest materials every day.

Pro Tip:

Use the wide, 18 cm long blade of the Chinese chef's knife to efficiently chop herbs and vegetables – the rocking motion with the flat blade allows you to effortlessly chop larger quantities evenly. The compact shape is particularly suitable for precise chopping on a cutting board, with the wide blade acting as a practical pusher to transfer chopped ingredients directly into pots or pans.

The Güde Solingen Chinaform DamascusSolingen is a true all-rounder in the kitchen and really comes into its own when preparing vegetables. The characteristically wide and high blade makes it the perfect companion for chopping large quantities of vegetables – from cabbage and peppers to onions and carrots. Thanks to the generous blade surface, you can effortlessly transfer the chopped vegetables from the cutting board directly into a pot or pan.
The traditional Chinese shape is ideal for the characteristic "overhand" grip, where the thumb and index finger rest on the blade. This technique allows you to make precise cuts from the wrist, making optimal use of the knife's natural weight. This enables you to cut wafer-thin slices, fine julienne strips, or even cubes with minimal effort.
It gets particularly creative when it comes to meat processing: the Damascus knife masters both cutting up poultry and portioning tender meat. The back of the blade can be used to gently tenderize meat, while the sharp edge glides through tendons and cartilage. You can chop herbs in no time at all – the wide blade allows you to use the classic rocking motion for aromatic herb mixtures.
An insider tip for advanced users: use the smooth blade surface as a natural spatula for turning vegetables in the pan or for pressing garlic before chopping.
