THE KNIFE. - ennobled in New Zealand.
Good products find their lovers all over the world. In the age of social media, people post what they can in the digital world, they like, they comment...
This, however, is a real-world story that happened over the greatest distance imaginable on our planet. Almost 40 hours by plane with at least three stops is the result of research on the internet, over 18,500 km are calculated on www.luftlinie.org to get to the Pelorus River on the South Island of New Zealand.

Cook with art
Von dort erreichte uns die Nachricht von Adam White, einem Koch und begeisterten Nutzer von THE KNIFE. „Das ist ein beeindruckendes Werkzeug in der Küche“, so Adam White, „egal ob zu Hause oder in einer Großküche, es erzeugt Respekt und andere Köche sind in Ehrfurcht, wenn sie THE KNIFE. bewundern“. Nun ist Adam White aber nicht nur Koch aus Leidenschaft, sondern auch ein passionierter Schmuckkünstler, der sich dem Material Jade verschrieben hat. Was lag also näher, als seine beiden Vorlieben zusammen zu führen. Und so bat Adam den Geschäftsführer von GÜDE, Karl-Peter Born, ihm eine Klinge von THE KNIFE. an den Pelorus River zu schicken. Dieser Fluss in der Region Marlborough sounds auf der Südinsel Neuseelands ist nicht nur ein Geheimtipp für Touristen, er ist auch eine wahre Fundgrube für den beliebten Grünstein, die Jade.
As soon as he held the blade from THE KNIFE. in his hand, Adam set to work and provided the Solingen forge with a handle of precious jade in perfect craftsmanship on the other side of the world.
The result - meanwhile back in Solingen - is of outstanding beauty. Almost too beautiful to work with. So the cooking artist Adam also enthuses, not without pride, about his handiwork: "Anyone who has tried THE KNIFE. for themselves will certainly find that there is no compromise, no substitute, that is even remotely comparable."
Karl-Peter Born was also immediately impressed by the precision with which Adam harmonised the blade steel and the jade handle. And so the question now arose for the Solingen-based knife manufacturer whether to include THE KNIFE. with a jade handle in its range. To date, there are versions in damask, carbon or classic blade steel with handles made of olive, oak or grenadilla. "Adam has done a super job. We have therefore decided to make it a special limited edition to mark our 111th anniversary this year," says the GÜDE managing director happily.

Tool or art object
Cooking with THE KNIFE. is much nicer than just looking at it. But when you hold Adam's masterpiece in your hands, the question arises: tool or art object?
Because everything about this knife is really extraordinary. The short handle allows the user to grip the knife much further forward than normal. So far forward that the thumb and forefinger enclose the blade. The blade becomes an (almost) natural extension of the hand. A secure grip and precise guidance are guaranteed. The hand automatically sits above the blade and not behind it. This ensures a shorter lever and thus better power transmission. And the blade is ground through to the end and extended backwards to below the handle. For the professional or amateur chef, this means: cutting where the force is applied, supported by a weight distribution that THE KNIFE. virtually drops into the food to be cut.
Adam's enthusiasm for THE KNIFE. culminates in his call to friends of honest craftsmanship and passionate cooking: "Join me in the passion, the urge to create beautiful food, and enjoy it every time you hold this amazing tool in your hand."
More enthusiasm is hardly possible.
