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.

About Franz Güde

Franz Güde has been manufacturing in Solingen since 1910. Solingen has been manufacturing knives by hand – across four generations, following the strict principles of traditional blade craftsmanship.

Each Güde is created in over 40 steps from carefully selected steel. The blades are forged, ground, and individually adjusted by experienced master craftsmen – for a sharpness and balance you can feel.

When you hold a Güde in your hand, you experience German blade craftsmanship at its finest: precise, durable, and with the unmistakable feel of genuine quality.

About the History
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steel, Solingen knives

The Güde Solingen Chinaform FasseicheSolingen impresses with its hand-forged blade made from a single piece of exclusive chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which guarantees exceptional sharpness and durability. Up to 40 careful manual steps guarantee maximum precision and give the knife the authentic character of genuine Solingen craftsmanship. The traditional design and ergonomic shape skilfully combine classic style with modern functionality – for precise and effortless work in the kitchen. With its 18 cm long, slim pointed blade, the knife is perfect for finely cutting vegetables, meat, and fish; ideal for Asian-style culinary diversity. The handle, made from over 100-year-old oak wood from former wine barrels, is an exclusive highlight: robust, individually grained, and comfortable to hold. If you value a unique kitchen knife that inspires both professionals and ambitious amateur chefs, you will find a truly unique piece in the Güde Alpha series. Choose uncompromising quality now and feel the passion of decades of Solingen craftsmanship with every cut.

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.

The Güde Chinaform Fasseiche Güde is your versatile partner for demanding cutting tasks in the kitchen. Thanks to its hand-forged blade made from a single piece of steel, it impresses with its exceptional sharpness and durability, while the exclusive handle made from over 100-year-old oak wood not only looks impressive but also fits perfectly in your hand ergonomically.
This classic knife is particularly suitable for fine cutting tasks such as quickly and precisely chopping vegetables, delicately portioning meat, and effortlessly filleting fish. The slim 18 cm blade allows for quick chopping, mincing, and dicing, just like in Asian cuisine—from wafer-thin carrot slices to delicate slices of ginger, always with maximum control and safety.
The Chinaform Fasseiche chef's knife can also be used creatively as a spatula for turning and portioning food directly in the pan or on the board. Its wide blade is ideal for transferring freshly cut ingredients to the pot or for cooking, bringing speed and style to your preparation.
Whether you are composing the finest salads, preparing Asian wok dishes, or breaking new ground when serving fish fillets, this extraordinary knife, crafted in Solingen, offers you uncompromising quality for your culinary creativity and everyday use. With every cut, you can feel the decades of experience that have gone into this unique piece.
