About the knife series

The series Alpha MikartaGüde traditional blacksmithing with modern materials: each blade is made from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened to ensure optimum hardness of around 57–58 HRC.
The distinctive handles are made of black and red grained Micarta, a robust fiber-reinforced plastic composite that is not only durable and moisture-resistant, but also makes each knife unique thanks to its individual grain pattern.
Another typical feature of the series is the characteristic double stainless steel ferrule, which ensures perfect balance and comfortable handling—something you can feel with every cut.
