About the knife series
The Karl Güde series is named in honor of the founder of Güde and embodies the traditional craftsmanship of Solingen 1910. The knives are drop-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ground by hand, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand. The handle scales are made of fine plum wood, which is finely polished and secured with three brass rivets – an authentic construction method that is still used today in this special edition, just as it was 100 years ago. With their elegant narrow neck and classic design, these knives combine timeless charm with high quality and optimal balance.
