About the knife series
The Kappaseries from Güde for elegant simplicity and timeless design – each knife is hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, ice-hardened, rust-free, and dishwasher-safe thanks to its all-metal design. Over 30 manual steps ensure maximum precision and quality, from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle – without any seams or material transitions. The striking mono-material design gives the knives exceptional balance and weight distribution, supported by the typical double bolster, which serves as both finger protection and counterweight. The series impresses with its durability, excellent cutting performance, and innovative, multi-award-winning appearance.

The hand-forged Güde Solingen Kappa cmSolingen is a masterpiece for the highest demands and precise cutting work. In up to 55 manual steps, a piece of ice-hardened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel is transformed into a knife that stands for exceptional sharpness and durability. The long, narrow 21 cm blade glides effortlessly through ham, meat, or roast, enabling wafer-thin, juicy slices—perfect for connoisseurs and ambitious cooks. The perfect balance of the full metal design of Kappa facilitates precise carving and fine portioning with a secure, fatigue-free grip.The Kappa is the classic choice for carving large pieces, especially air-dried ham, but also firm roasts, poultry, or elaborate pan-fried dishes.

For creative cooks, the knife is also ideal for arranging complex salad compositions or preparing decorative vegetable rolls and carpaccios – thanks to its lightness and balance.Easy-care, durable quality, handy handling, and elegant design also make the Kappa an exclusive kitchen tool for any stylish dinner.
