About Franz Güde

As a family business with roots dating back to 1910, Güde stands for a living workshop tradition in Solingen: in up to 55 manual steps, the blade is manufactured from forged or stainless steel through forging, heat treatment, fine grinding, and precise sharpening—genuine Solingen blacksmithing, noticeable in every transition from steel to cut.

Handles made of hardwood, Pakkawood, or modern composite materials are fitted with precision, while hand polishing and final sharpening give them a cool, balanced feel and fine balance; this is how traditional techniques meet modern manufacturing and testing standards, making cutting a clear, tangible experience.

About the History
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steels, Solingen knives

The Santoku Glatt Olive from the Alpha series combines traditional Japanese cutting artistry with Güde proven Solingen craftsmanship Güde manufactured in up to 55 manual steps for maximum precision. The versatile blade effortlessly masters cutting, dicing, and chopping vegetables, meat, and fish, while the elegant olive wood handle not only impresses with its warm appearance but also ensures safe and comfortable handling. With its perfectly balanced weight distribution and razor-sharp edge, this Santoku knife will become your reliable partner for all kitchen tasks – from fine julienne cuts to robust meat preparation. The high-quality workmanship and timeless design make it an investment that will accompany you in your kitchen for decades to come. Experience the difference of genuine Solingen knife craftsmanship and take your cooking skills to the next level.

Pro tip:

Guide the Santoku through the food with a gentle rocking motion instead of chopping—the flat blade glides effortlessly through vegetables, meat, and fish. Thanks to the wide blade surface, you can pick up and transport the cut food directly from the board with the knife.

The Santoku knife with olive wood handle is your versatile companion for almost all cutting tasks in the kitchen. With its wide blade, you can effortlessly cut vegetables, meat, and fish, while the smooth cutting edge produces particularly clean cuts. Use the knife for precise julienne cuts on carrots and peppers, or easily slice tender salmon fillets into even slices.
The wide blade surface is ideal for crushing garlic or transferring chopped ingredients from the board directly into the pot. This Santoku knife really comes into its own when preparing Asian dishes: from finely chopping ginger to mincing fresh herbs to portioning marinated chicken breast fillets.
The knife also excels at creative tasks – use it to cut wafer-thin radish slices for decorative salads or prepare beef carpaccio. Its balanced design allows for fatigue-free work, even during longer preparations. Use it to prepare your meal prep dishes or when you want to entertain guests on the spur of the moment. The Santoku from the Alpha series will quickly become your favorite knife for everyday use in the kitchen.
