About the knife series
The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional blacksmithing with natural elegance: Each knife is crafted from a single piece of CMV stainless steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand. The handle scales, made from olive wood that is 100 to 500 years old, make each knife unique and impress with their characteristic grain as well as exceptional hardness and weather resistance. The classic forged double bolster, together with the ergonomic handle design, ensures optimal balance and fatigue-free use. With a blade hardness of 57–58 HRC, the knives in this series offer excellent edge retention combined with good re-sharpenability—perfect for demanding kitchen work.
Please note: Clean knives from the Alpha series exclusively by hand; do not put them in the dishwasher.

Pro tip:
Hold the chef's knife in a rocking motion —keeping the tip on the cutting board—while guiding the knife through the food with gentle up-and-down movements. This will give you even cuts when chopping herbs, onions, and vegetables, while also protecting the sharp blade.
The Olive chef's knife is your indispensable companion for all cutting tasks in the kitchen and effortlessly handles classic tasks such as cutting up meat, fish, and poultry. With this versatile all-rounder, you can also finely chop vegetables and herbs, precisely dice onions, or cut fresh salads into even strips. The sharp blade glides effortlessly through a wide variety of foods, allowing you to make clean, precise cuts.
The knife is particularly useful when preparing Sunday roasts, when you want to portion larger cuts of meat properly, or when carving roasted poultry right at the table. Creative home cooks also appreciate its precision, for example when slicing paper-thin carpaccio or filleting fresh fish for sushi and sashimi. You can just as easily use it to cut up melons and pumpkins, peel pineapples, or finely chop bunches of herbs for pestos and marinades.
Thanks to its excellent balance and comfortable handle shape, the knife fits comfortably in your hand and allows you to work without fatigue, even during longer preparation sessions. Whether you’re preparing a multi-course meal or want to quickly whip up a fresh meal—this chef’s knife is your reliable partner for professional results in everyday cooking.
