Solingen manufacturer Solingen known for its uncompromising quality philosophy and high proportion of handcrafted work. Whether a classic chef's knife or an innovative designer model, every Güde stands for precision, functionality, and unmistakable aesthetics. A brand that continues to shape the art of knife making at the highest level to this day.

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

The Franz Güde ham knife from the renowned Franz Güde combines precision craftsmanship with timeless design and maximum cutting performance. The hand-forged blade is made of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, is ice-hardened, and has been hand-sharpened by experienced knife makers—for effortless, precise cuts of ham, roast, or other fine cuts of meat.

The elegant handle made of triple-riveted plum wood (the type of wood varies depending on the series, but is always high-quality and durable) ensures a comfortable feel, an elegant look, and optimal balance with every cut. Up to 55 manual steps guarantee the highest level of quality and long-lasting sharpness – each knife becomes an individual masterpiece of Solingen craftsmanship.

The classic Güde pays tribute to both tradition and innovation, making the ham knife an indispensable companion for connoisseurs and ambitious cooks. With this exclusive knife, you are making a real statement in your kitchen – precise, authentic, and unique.

Pro Tip:

For wafer-thin, even slices of ham or roast meat, guide the Franz Güde ham knife with a steady, pulling motion and as little pressure as possible—this allows the long, narrow blade to glide cleanly through the meat, preserving its structure and flavor. Additional tip: For best results, always use a sharp ham knife on a suitable cutting board and avoid jerky movements. This will ensure particularly precise and appetizing results.

The Franz Güde ham knife is ideal for cutting wafer-thin slices of ham, air-dried specialties, and roasts.
The long, narrow, hand-sharpened blade glides effortlessly through meat fibers, allowing you to cut precise, even slices without tearing or crushing the meat. This makes the knife particularly valuable when preparing classic carpaccio, fine prosciutto, or Serrano ham.

In addition to ham, the knife is also ideal as a carving knife for roasts, roast beef, and other tender meats—perfect for serving clean, appetizing slices of meat directly at the table or buffet.

Thanks to its slim shape and excellent balance, the ham knife is also well suited for portioning salmon and other fish fillets. If you want to get creative, you can also use it to cut boiled eggs, mozzarella, or even beetroot and zucchini into wafer-thin slices for salads or platters.

Whether for a festive meal, serving antipasti, or making the perfect sandwich, the Franz Güde ham knife is always the right choice when precision, fine cuts, and maximum control are required.
