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.
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.

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.
