About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional craftsmanship with natural elegance: each knife is forged from stainless CMV steel, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand, with up to 55 manual steps ensuring the highest quality. The handle scales, made from 100 to 500-year-old olive wood, make each knife unique and impress with their characteristic grain, hardness, and weather resistance.

The classic forged double bolster guarantees optimal balance and safety, while the triple-riveted handle construction with the distinctive Güde as a decorative element stands for durability. From chef's knives to the legendary bread knife with a 32 cm blade to the Santoku, the series offers the right tool for every application – although care should be taken exclusively by hand to protect the high-quality olive wood.

About Franz Güde GmbH

A family business since 1910, Güde preserves Güde spirit of Solingen's blacksmithing tradition: the knives are Solingen in Solingen in up to 55 manual steps —blades are forged, precisely hardened, ground in multiple stages, and finished by hand; alloyed stainless steel meets ergonomic handles made of wood or modern composite materials, with every handle designed for cutting performance and durability.

When cutting, you can feel the balance, the blade lies cool and solid in your hand and glides through ingredients with clear precision, a sensual experience in which traditional techniques are complemented by targeted modern processes, not replaced.

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

The Güde Alpha chef's knife Chinaform combines traditional Asian cutting technology with an authentic olive wood handle to create an exceptional kitchen tool for discerning amateur chefs. The characteristic Chinese blade shape with its high, straight cutting edge allows for effortless chopping, cutting, and mincing of vegetables, herbs, and meat—ideal for the versatile preparation of Asian and international dishes. Each knife is manufactured in the traditional Güde forge in Solingen Güde up to 55 manual steps, combining high-quality carbon steel with precise craftsmanship to create a durable kitchen tool. The warm olive wood handle fits ergonomically in the hand and gives this professional knife a natural elegance that is sure to catch the eye in any kitchen. With the Güde Alpha series, you can bring a piece of Solingen's blacksmithing tradition into your home, impressing with its sharpness and durability.

Pro Tip:

Use the flat blade shape to efficiently chop herbs and garlic – simply place the blade flat on the surface and rock it back and forth with gentle pressure. The wide cutting edge is perfect for scooping chopped ingredients directly from the board into a pot or pan.

The Chinaform Olive chef's knife from the Alpha series combines the precision of Asian cutting technology with Mediterranean flair and is your versatile partner for demanding cutting tasks in the kitchen. With its wide, high blade, you can effortlessly master the fine cutting of vegetables, herbs, and meat—the typical rocking technique is particularly comfortable.

Use this knife to precisely cut julienne strips from carrots, peppers, or zucchini for Asian stir-fries and salads. The wide blade surface is ideal for crushing garlic cloves or ginger and also serves as a practical transport aid for transferring cut ingredients directly from the cutting board to the pot or pan.

Use the sharp blade to prepare wafer-thin carpaccio slices or effortlessly portion chicken breast and beef. The knife also shows its strength when cutting firmer vegetables such as pumpkin, cabbage, or celery. You can also use it creatively for chopping nuts, crushing chocolate, or cutting pasta with precision.

The authentic olive wood handle fits securely in your hand and makes every cutting task an experience—from quick everyday cooking to ambitious gourmet preparation.
