About the knife series

The Güde Kappaseries consists exclusively of a single piece of hand-forged chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle – this ensures a unique balance and perfect weight distribution, which is immediately noticeable in the hand.
Each knife is created using a traditional drop-forging process and is finished in well over 30 manual steps, resulting in the characteristic, striking shape with a double bolster as a balancing element and finger guard.
Ice hardening and fine, heavy polishing give the Kappa a high-quality, timeless look, making the knives rust-free, dishwasher-safe, and particularly durable —so they can easily withstand professional demands.
The simple, elegant all-metal design without material transitions and the Red Dot Design Award underline the exclusivity of these handmade Solingen knives.
