Franz Güde has been manufacturing Güde Solingen since 1910. Solingen – a family business spanning four generations that remains uncompromisingly committed to German craftsmanship to this day.
Every Güde undergoes more than 40 work steps, from blade shaping to the final polish. This combination of traditional blacksmithing and precision manufacturing technology makes Solingen knives the global benchmark.
When you hold a Güde in your hand, you can feel the difference: perfect balance, exceptional sharpness, and durability that lasts for decades.
The Güde Alpha chef's knife impresses with a hand-forged blade from Solingen, made from high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel for outstanding sharpness and durability. In up to 40 complex steps, a knife is created that combines traditional Solingen craftsmanship of the highest standard with modern precision and unique design. The blade—available in lengths of 16 cm, 21 cm, or 26 cm—is versatile and perfect for cutting, chopping, and dicing vegetables, meat, or fish. A special highlight is the handle made from 100-year-old barrel oak: each individual knife is unique, with a history and a characterful appearance. Thanks to its optimal balance and ergonomic shape, the knife fits perfectly in the hand and enables precise and fatigue-free work in everyday kitchen use. The ice-hardened blade meets the highest standards of cutting performance and robustness – even for demanding cutting tasks. With a Güde Alpha chef's knife, you are investing in an exclusive tool that combines timeless craftsmanship, exceptional material quality, and a distinctive look. Experience cutting at the highest level and bring the history of great German knife tradition into your kitchen.
Pro Tip:
For precise and fatigue-free cutting, hold the Güde Alpha chef's knife directly at the transition from the handle to the blade—your thumb and index finger should grip the blade, allowing you to guide the knife safely and achieve clean cuts with optimal control. To maintain maximum sharpness, regularly sharpen the hand-forged knife with a suitable sharpening steel before use – this will ensure that your blade remains up to even the most demanding tasks.
The Güde Alpha chef's knife is your versatile partner in the kitchen and impresses as a classic all-round knife for almost any cutting task. Thanks to the robust, hand-forged blade, you can master the precise cutting of meat, fish, and poultry as well as the even dicing of vegetables or fruit in no time at all. Even chopping herbs is effortless with a few smooth movements, ensuring that freshness and aroma are optimally preserved.
Thanks to its excellent balance and ergonomic shape, the knife fits comfortably and securely in your hand—not only making classic tasks such as finely chopping onions or portioning fillets easier, but also inspiring creative applications in everyday life. For example, you can cut fine strips of salmon sashimi or thin slices of carpaccio, carve roasts directly at the table, or use the chef's knife to cut bread for French crostini into even slices.
The unusual design with a handle made from 100-year-old barrel oak makes each knife a stylish, unique piece that turns every cooking occasion into an experience. So you're not only investing in the highest precision, but also adding a functional gem to your kitchen that can handle even the most demanding cutting tasks and inspire new recipes.
