About the knife series
The Kappa series from Güde innovative design with classic, solid craftsmanship – each knife is made from a single piece of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which is forged by hand, ice-hardened, and then crafted into a perfectly balanced all-rounder in over 30 manual steps.
The all-metal design gives the knives excellent balance and unique weight distribution, making them particularly comfortable to hold and enabling longer, fatigue-free work.
Characteristic features of the Kappa are the lack of material transition between the blade and handle and the distinctive double bolster, which serves as finger protection and for optimal weight balance – a true hallmark of German craftsmanship from Solingen.
The knives are rustproof, scratch-resistant, ice-hardened, and dishwasher-safe, making them an indispensable everyday helper not only for professionals but also for discerning amateur chefs.
