About Franz Güde GmbH

Committed to tradition – Güde knife manufacturers have been working according to this principle Güde over a century. Each knife is crafted in Solingen experienced hands and undergoes numerous steps before leaving the factory. The combination of high-quality steel, fine woods, and craftsmanship makes each piece unique. Güde more than just a brand – it is a promise of the highest cutting culture.

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

The Franz Güde 7805/21 Güde represents the highest level of Solingen craftsmanship and impresses ambitious chefs with its first-class workmanship and excellent cutting performance. Its hand-forged blade is made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which is ice-hardened, stainless, and hand-sharpened—ensuring that the knife remains permanently sharp and particularly durable.

The ergonomically shaped handle made of fine plum wood gives each piece a special feel and a unique appearance. Manufactured in up to 55 complex manual steps, this chef's knife meets the highest quality standards.

With its perfect balance and versatile 21 cm blade, the knife effortlessly masters all cutting tasks – from fine vegetables to meat and fish. Treat yourself to an exclusive kitchen tool that combines tradition and innovation and offers you lasting cooking pleasure at the highest level.

Pro Tip:

To ensure that you can cut with the Franz Güde with particular precision and safety, use the "claw grip" technique: place the fingertips of your free hand curled over the food you are cutting and gently guide the knife blade along it – this will keep your fingers optimally protected and enable you to achieve even cuts with ease. Tip: Hold the knife lightly with your thumb and index finger at the base of the blade – this improves control and reduces strain on your hand during longer cutting tasks.

The Franz Güde chef's knife is a versatile all-round knife and one of the essential tools in any kitchen.
Examples of use:
Ideal for chopping herbs – the wide blade ensures efficient, rhythmic chopping. Perfect for cutting vegetables, such as dicing onions, chopping garlic, and filleting peppers.
The knife is ideal for meat and fish thanks to its sturdy, hand-forged blade: whether you're cutting steaks into neat portions, carving a roast, or finely slicing salmon fillets.
The 21 cm blade also comes into its own when chopping nuts or chocolate pieces. Even cutting smaller pumpkins or chopping fruit, such as melon, is effortless.
Creative use: Thanks to its perfect balance, the knife is also particularly comfortable to use for light rocking cuts when making homemade pasta or for chopping dried tomatoes and herb butter.
This makes the chef's knife the first choice for both classic and creative cooking tasks.
