About Franz Güde GmbH

Franz Güde was Solingen Güde Solingen in 1910 by Karl Güde and can look back on more than a century of first-class knife-making tradition. Right from the start, the knives were manufactured in complex manual steps, during which they were forged, sharpened, and assembled by hand. This uncompromising approach has Solingen Güde one of the highest-quality brands from the blade city Solingen . In 1923, Franz Güde took over Güde factory and produced several innovative developments, including the well-known "Güde " invention, which is still considered the benchmark for high-quality bread knives today. Today, the company is in its fourth generation and combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design and the highest precision.Güde are characterized by first-class materials, masterful workmanship, and timelessly elegant designs, making them very popular with professional chefs and discerning amateur cooks worldwide. The Güde brand Güde not only Güde with high-quality cutting tools, but also with values such as quality, innovation, and sustainable craftsmanship from Solingen.

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

The Güde Alpha Nakiri is the classic Japanese vegetable knife and an indispensable tool for anyone who values perfectly cut vegetables. The characteristic rectangular blade shape with its wide, flat cutting edge has been perfected over centuries in Japan for preparing vegetables.Hand-forged from a single piece of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel in the traditional Solingen factory, this Nakiri combines Japanese cutting culture with German precision. The wide blade enables clean, straight cuts without a rocking motion – ideal for classic up-and-down cutting, where the entire length of the blade is guided through the food at the same time.The elegant handle made from hand-selected Mediterranean olive wood makes each Nakiri a unique piece. The lively grain of the olive wood tells of the Mediterranean sun and gives the knife a warm, natural look. Perfect for anyone who values aesthetics when cutting vegetables.With a blade length of 18 cm, the Nakiri offers sufficient cutting surface for cabbages, pumpkins, and large vegetables, while remaining maneuverable enough for fine julienne and precise dice cuts. The Güde ensures perfect balance and protects your fingers while working. Experience the perfection of Japanese vegetable cutting technology – Made in Solingen.

Pro Tip:

Pro tip: The Nakiri is optimized for the classic up-and-down motion —quite unlike Western chef's knives. Place the blade flat on the cutting board and make even, straight cuts through the vegetables. Avoid rocking motions—the Nakiri cuts best when the entire blade is guided through the food at the same time. The wide blade is your built-in spatula: use it to pick up and transfer cut vegetables directly into the pot. For wafer-thin slices, hold the vegetable using the "claw grip" technique and make even, steady cuts.

With the Güde , you will experience how effortlessly vegetables can be cut into even slices, perfect cubes, or wafer-thin strips. Whether crisp carrots for salad, tender leafy vegetables for wok dishes, firm cabbages for sauerkraut, or large pumpkins for soup —the wide, flat blade glides precisely through every vegetable.The rectangular blade shape is ideal for the classic up-and-down technique: place the blade flat on the cutting board and make even, straight cuts. No rocking, no tilting—just clean, precise cuts. The wide blade is also perfect for picking up and transferring cut vegetables directly into a pot or pan.
