About the knife series
The Güde Alpha series features hand-forged blades made of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which are ice-hardened and hand-sharpened.
The handle scales are made of oak from old wine barrels, which is particularly durable and dimensionally stable thanks to decades of aging.
The knives are manufactured in over 40 manual steps and have a distinctive character thanks to the typical palm rivet and three-rivet design.
The optimal balance, comfortable weight distribution, and elegant wood grain make each knife in the series truly unique and suitable for the most demanding requirements.

Pro tip:
Use the slim, tapered blade of the Chinaform Fasseiche chef's knife for precise, fine cuts by guiding the knife in a gentle rocking motion – this makes julienne cuts, finely chopped vegetables or wafer-thin slices of meat and fish particularly easy and even. Be sure to always use wood or plastic as a cutting surface to preserve the exceptional sharpness of the hand-forged blade.
