About the knife series
The Güde Alpha combines traditional blacksmithing with elegant design and was developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Harald Rüssel. The blades are forged from chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened, and crafted by hand in over 40 manual steps—each blade is hand-sharpened and achieves a hardness of 57-58 HRC. The knife is named after its handle scales, which are made from barrel oak wood sourced from wine barrels that are over 80 years old and have become exceptionally durable and stable thanks to their long maturation period. The characteristic double bolster and aluminum palm rivet trademark ensure perfect balance and optimal handling – a reliable tool for the highest demands in the kitchen.

Franz Güde has been manufacturing Güde Solingen since 1910. Solingen masterfully handcrafted knives – now in its fourth generation. The manufacturer combines traditional blacksmithing with state-of-the-art production technology and stands for uncompromising "Made in Germany" quality.
Every Güde is created by the hands of experienced knife makers, who invest up to 40 work steps to create blades of exceptional sharpness and durability.
When you choose a Güde, you are choosing a tool for life – precise, reliable, and with the unmistakable pride of genuine Solingen craftsmanship.
The ham knife from the Güde Alpha series is a masterpiece of Solingen craftsmanship. The precise, hand-forged blade made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel guarantees exceptional sharpness and durability and undergoes up to 55 manual steps during production – for the highest quality and exclusive precision. With its tapered 21 cm blade, cutting wafer-thin, even slices of meat is effortless – perfect for discerning gourmets when carving or filleting. The handle, made from over 80-year-old barrel oak, not only gives the knife its unmistakable robustness, but also makes it a special experience for wine lovers: Each handle tells the story of fine wine barrels. The combination of modern design and traditional Solingen craftsmanship makes this ham knife an exclusive, one-of-a-kind piece that leaves a lasting impression in professional and amateur kitchens alike. Thanks to its excellent balance and ergonomics, the knife lies securely and comfortably in the hand – even when performing delicate cutting tasks. If you value precision, durability, and stylish workmanship, the Güde Alpha Güde is a real highlight. The strictly limited production and exceptional choice of materials underline the individual character of this knife – a must-have for discerning connoisseurs and collectors.
Pro Tip:
For wafer-thin, even slices, guide the Alpha ham knife with its entire smooth blade through the meat in long, pulling strokes—avoid applying pressure so as not to tear the fibers and to achieve a precise cut. To protect the blade, always use a soft cutting board made of wood or plastic and clean the knife by hand immediately after use.
The Güde Alpha Güde accompanies you through the most versatile cutting tasks with its outstanding precision and exclusive craftsmanship. This knife, with its long, slim 21 cm blade, is ideal for carving air-dried ham, roasts, or large pieces of meat into millimeter-thin, even slices. It glides effortlessly and achieves flawless cuts even with delicate foods such as Parma ham or Serrano ham.
Let your guests admire the art of carving when you eat together – this knife is an eye-catcher at any festive table and meets even the most sophisticated demands.
But the Güde Alpha Güde can do even more: thanks to its tapered blade profile, it is ideal for filleting fish, cutting up poultry or cutting fine vegetable strips. Even creative tasks such as preparing carpaccio, finely julienning fennel, or decorating buffets can be accomplished with particular elegance using this knife.
You can be particularly proud of the unusual handle material: the oak wood from old wine barrels gives the knife its own unique history and ensures a comfortable, non-slip grip – especially when using the knife for long periods of time. The harmonious weight distribution and slim design make it a precise tool for demanding kitchen work that is comfortable and accurate to use – both in everyday professional life and at social barbecues or catering events.
The Güde Alpha Güde is a versatile companion that not only optimizes your cutting work with its durability, elegant wooden handle, and excellent balance, but also stylishly enhances your cooking and dining experience. It is the perfect tool for connoisseurs who value quality, precision, and unique design—both for classic and modern, creative applications related to culinary enjoyment.
