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.

About Franz Güde GmbH

As a family business since 1910, Güde preserves Güde living tradition and the art of Solingen blacksmithing; blade by blade, with gleaming steel and a steady hand, a tool is created that breathes history. The knives are Solingen in Solingen in up to 55 manual steps, from forging, heat treatment, and hardening to fine grinding and final assembly, with rust-proof and alloyed steels being specifically guided, hardened, and polished.

When cutting, you can feel the balanced weight, the cool feel of the handle, and the precise cut—a direct connection between old techniques and modern manufacturing standards that makes working with the knife a sensual, reliable experience.
