About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde by its high-quality knives with handles made from oak wood sourced from old wine barrels that are over 100 years old, making them particularly robust and durable.
The blades are made from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened to guarantee optimal cutting properties and long-lasting sharpness.
Typical features include the finely polished stainless steel rivets, the striking three-rivet design with a central palm rivet, and the precise balance of the knives thanks to Güde double bolster.
Each knife in the series is manufactured in over 40 manual steps and is a truly unique piece thanks to its exclusive materials, traditional craftsmanship, and characteristic handle grain.

Use your Steak Knife Barrel Oak for all the classics at the table: with its slightly curved blade, you can glide effortlessly through juicy porterhouse steaks, tender rump steaks, or hearty T-bone cuts. The serrated edge cuts through the meat fibers precisely and cleanly without tearing the crispy crust or squeezing the valuable juices out of the meat. The quality is particularly evident with pink roasted meat: the knife cuts through every degree of doneness, from rare to well done, as if it were butter.

But your steak knife can do much more than just cut steaks. Use it to carve roasts, cut tender lamb racks, or portion duck breasts. The handy 12 cm blade length makes it the perfect companion for large grill platters where you serve several types of meat. The knife also performs excellently with roasted poultry such as chicken breast or quail – the serrated blade masters even crispy skin with ease.

The steak knife can also be used creatively when plating up: use it to cut thin slices of carpaccio from high-quality roast beef or present your meat in perfectly cut slices on preheated plates. At the table, the elegant oak wood looks impressive and adds a special touch to any dinner. Combine it with the matching steak fork for a stylish cutlery set that will impress your guests.

The knife is also ideal for hearty sausage specialties, strong hard cheeses such as Parmesan or Pecorino, and rustic breads. The serrated edge effortlessly cuts through the firm crusts of farmhouse bread or ciabatta. This makes your steak knife a versatile helper for snack platters, light meals, or a convivial raclette evening.
