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.
