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

The Güde Kulle Walnut from the exclusive Alpha series combines traditional Solingen craftsmanship with state-of-the-art precision. Each blade is manufactured from high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel in up to 55 complex manual steps – for exceptional sharpness, durability, and maximum cutting precision. The typical Japanese Santoku shape with an 18 cm long, ice-hardened blade makes this knife a versatile all-rounder: whether meat, fish, or vegetables – everything can be cut finely, effortlessly, and precisely. The hollow grind effectively prevents even moist or thin foods from sticking to the blade, enabling smooth working. The ergonomic handle made of fine walnut wood fits perfectly in the hand, impresses with its pleasant weight and unique grain, and ensures a natural balance. This makes the knife not just a tool, but a real gem for any kitchen. Choose this exclusive Santoku knife if you value unique craftsmanship, tangible quality, and stylish design—a knife for passionate cooks who seek perfection.

Pro Tip:

When working with theGüde Kulle Walnut**, make the most of the **Japanese Santoku shape** by using jerky cutting movements to cut delicate foods precisely. The **hollow edge** prevents moist or thin slices from sticking, which is particularly advantageous when cutting delicate fish or meat. It is also important to resharpen the knife regularly in small increments to maintain its sharpness.

The Santoku Kulle Walnut is a versatile all-rounder in your kitchen and is ideal for anyone who values maximum cutting precision, timeless design, and comfortable handling.

The Santoku Kulle Walnut reveals its full potential in classic preparation methods such as finely chopping, mincing, and precisely dicing vegetables, meat, and fish. The knife really comes into its own when chopping herbs, slicing raw salmon for sushi, or finely julienning carrots—the wide, sharp blade and special hollow edge ensure that even juicy or sticky ingredients such as tomatoes or mango do not stick to the blade. This allows you to work quickly and cleanly, ideal for creative recipes such as wafer-thin carpaccio slices of beetroot or sophisticated vegetable chips.

Thanks to its perfect balance and ergonomic walnut handle, your hand won't tire even during longer cooking sessions, allowing you to master not only classic but also creative tasks: For example, the knife is ideal for finely chopping nuts for pesto, cutting wafer-thin slices of fruit for dessert plating, or making precise cuts in vegan dishes, such as tofu or seitan. Even demanding decorative cuts and delicate garnishes can be achieved effortlessly.

Discover a new joy in cooking with the Santoku Kulle Walnut and impress with precise, professional cutting results—day after day, recipe after recipe.
