About the knife series

The Alpha Olive series from Güde combines traditional forging skills with the natural beauty of olive wood. Each knife is forged from stainless CMV steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened - for a blade hardness of 57-58 HRC and outstanding edge retention. The handle scales are made from 100 to 500-year-old, heavily grained olive wood, which makes each knife unique. The classic forged double bolster and the triple-riveted handles with the characteristic Güde ensure optimum balance and fatigue-free working. Important: These high-quality knives should only be cleaned by hand to protect the fine olive wood.

About the History
Solingen knives, Güde , Solingen chef's knives, knife sets, sharpening steels, Solingen knives

The Olive ham knife from the Alpha Olive series by Güde Solingen is your perfect partner for wafer-thin slices of ham and precise slicing work. The particularly flexible blade glides effortlessly through tender meat and enables even, professional cuts, just like the butcher. Made in up to 55 manual steps, this knife combines traditional Solingen forging with modern design and the warm charm of the olive wood handle. Its exceptional sharpness and flexibility make it an indispensable tool for gourmets who rely on perfect slicing results for ham, salmon or other delicacies. Experience the difference of genuine craftsmanship and transform every cold cut into a culinary experience.

Pro tip:

Guide the flexible ham knife in long, even strokes and let the blade do the work - creating perfectly thin slices without tearing. Hold the piece of meat firmly and always cut away from you for maximum control and safety.

The Olive ham knife from the Alpha Olive series is your ideal companion when you want to cut wafer-thin slices of ham, salmon or roast beef. The long, flexible blade glides effortlessly through tender meat and allows you to make precise, even cuts that leave a perfect impression on any serving platter.

Use this knife in the classic way for preparing delicatessen platters, slicing air-dried ham or carving smoked fish. The flexible blade adapts perfectly to the shape of the ham and allows you to work precisely along the bone.

Used creatively, the ham knife is also ideal for cutting wafer-thin slices of beef or fish carpaccio, for portioning gravad salmon or for removing fine slices of pickled meat. This knife also shows its strengths when preparing vitello tonnato or slicing homemade roasts.

With the Olive ham knife, you can achieve professional results in your kitchen that will impress both visually and in terms of taste.
