About the knife series

The knives in the Güde Alpha Pear series are characterized by hand-forged blades made from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which are ice-hardened and sharpened by hand.
As a striking detail, all models have finely textured pear wood handle scales, which are appreciated for their special feel, elegance and durability.
The typical double bolster construction ensures optimum balance and a comfortable grip, while the visible full tang guarantees a stable finish.
Each knife in the series is manufactured in over 40 manual steps and impresses with its maximum functionality, exclusive materials and perfect workmanship.

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

The Güde Shark Birne herb knife from the renowned Alpha Birne series stands for the highest level of craftsmanship and precision, manufactured in the heart of Solingen. In up to 55 manual steps, one piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel is turned into an ice-hardened, hand-sharpened blade of impressive sharpness and durability. The compact, wide 14 cm blade is perfect for precisely weighing, slicing and chopping fresh or dried herbs, seeds, spices or even cheese, offering flexibility for any kitchen, while the softly textured pearwood handle is exceptionally comfortable and secure in the hand - providing balanced, elegant handling even during long chopping sessions. Every line of the design reflects Güde 's long-standing tradition and uncompromising quality awareness. Professionals and ambitious amateur chefs particularly appreciate the fact that the knife retains its edge for a long time thanks to the double-sided sharpening and retains its exclusive sharpness even with frequent use.As a genuine Solingen one-off, this herb knife is not suitable for the dishwasher, which preserves the naturalness and timeless beauty of the fine pear wood handle. With the Güde Shark herb knife, you are choosing a knife that is traditionally handcrafted and lends every cut the character of genuine craftsmanship - a statement of authenticity, lasting value and maximum cutting performance in your kitchen.

Pro Tip:

To process fresh or dried herbs in a way that is particularly gentle on the aroma, cradle the Güde Shark Pear herb knife with a loosely gripped handle and a gentle rocking motion over the chopped material - this allows you to achieve even, fine results while protecting your hands, even during long chopping sessions. Pull the knife gently over a sharpening steel regularly before use to ensure that the blade retains its impressive sharpness.

The Güde Shark Pear herb knife is your specialist when it comes to the finest cuts and creative precision work in the kitchen. With its compact, wide 14 cm blade, it is ideally designed to weigh herbs such as parsley or basil quickly and evenly - allowing your herbs to develop their full aroma through gentle cutting. Finely chopping garlic, cutting up small vegetables or preparing fresh salads is also effortless and effortless with this knife. Use the knife in the classic way for precisely chopping dried spices or finely slicing chives directly over your soup - this keeps the aroma fresh and intense. Thanks to the robust, hand-forged blade, the knife is even suitable for coarsely chopping nuts and seeds, for example for muesli or baking. But the Güde Shark Pear herb knife is not only convincing in classic applications: try it creatively as a cheese knife for soft to medium-firm varieties - the wide blade enables precise, clean cuts directly at the table or on the buffet. Chopping dried tomatoes, dividing grapes or portioning avocado for bowls and salads is also a pleasure thanks to the special handling. The pleasantly textured pear wood handle sits securely and comfortably in the hand even when chopping for long periods and ensures balanced handling - a real advantage when weighing large quantities of herbs or for daily use in the kitchen. For all those who value durability and an exclusive companion, the hand-forged finish and high edge retention of this knife set the new benchmark for kitchen tools.
