About the knife series
The Alpha series from Güde combines traditional blacksmithing with Mediterranean design: each knife is made from high-quality CMV steel in up to 55 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand to a hardness of 57–58 HRC. The handle scales, made from 100 to 500-year-old olive wood, make each knife unique, with a warm, natural look and excellent grip. The classic forged double bolster guarantees optimal balance and safe, fatigue-free working. Please note: These high-quality knives should only be cleaned by hand to protect the precious olive wood.
