About the knife series

The Güde Alpha series combines traditional blacksmithing with unique design: the handle scales are made from oak wood sourced from wine barrels that are over 100 years old, which has become particularly robust and durable due to its long maturation. The blades are made of forged chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened, with each knife being created in over 40 manual steps. With a hardness of 57-58 HRC, the knives offer excellent cutting performance and can be easily resharpened if necessary. The characteristic double bolster of Alpha ensures optimal weight distribution and perfect balance, while the three finely polished rivets – with the aluminum palm rivet in the center as Güde trademark Güde connect the handle scales to the steel blade.

This steak knife stands for exclusivity and decades Güde – a statement for discerning connoisseurs who appreciate authenticity, durability, and craftsmanship excellence.

This exceptional steak knife reveals its true strength when cutting thick porterhouse steaks on the bone, which require a sturdy knife due to their size and thickness. The slightly curved blade glides precisely through tender beef fillet and cuts through the meat fibers with a single smooth cut, so that the precious meat juices remain inside. With this knife, you can navigate perfectly between the fillet and roast beef portions of a Porterhouse steak and cleanly separate both parts from the T-shaped bone without wasting any valuable meat.

The Porterhouse steak knife has proven itself time and again with medium-rare steaks, lamb chops on the bone, or thick beef rump steaks, which are not crushed thanks to the precise cutting edge. The smooth blade allows you to cut particularly gently, preserving the texture of the meat and ensuring a first-class taste experience. The knife also demonstrates its quality with roasted duck breasts or juicy veal fillet, leaving perfectly cut slices with intact meat fibers.

The Porterhouse steak knife can be used creatively for delicate carving of roast beef or for precise portioning of roasted lamb loin directly at the table. You can also use it to cut thicker slices of smoked ham or air-dried bresaola without damaging the delicate structure. The sharp blade proves its versatility even when cutting grilled vegetables with a firm consistency, such as whole eggplants or large portobello mushrooms. For special occasions, the knife is ideal for stylishly serving Chateaubriand or carving a whole dry-aged steak in front of your guests, with the elegant oak handle becoming a real eye-catcher.
