About the history
Knives Solingen, Güde knives, chef's knives Solingen, knife set, sharpening steel, solinger knives

The Güde from the Alpha series combines masterful craftsmanship and innovative precision in an exclusive kitchen tool. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel remains exceptionally sharp thanks to its fine serrated edge and glides effortlessly through tomato skins, as well as fruit and cheese. Up to 55 manual steps guarantee the highest quality workmanship, durability, and perfect balance. The ergonomic design of the velvety pear wood handle ensures comfortable, safe handling—even during demanding cutting tasks and long cooking sessions. With its 13 cm serrated blade, the Alpha is the ideal tool for accurate cutting without crushing or fraying. The knife is stainless, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened, ensuring that it retains its sharpness even after many uses. This Güde represents exclusive Solingen craftsmanship and is the perfect choice for connoisseurs who insist on uncompromising quality when it comes to fine ingredients. Choose the Alpha and experience how easily tomatoes and fruit can be transformed into perfect slices—every day.

Pro Tip:

With the Güde pear, you can cut even very ripe tomatoes into perfect slices by holding the tomato lightly and applying the fine serrated blade with precise, sawing movements – this leaves the flesh intact and prevents squashing or fraying. Thanks to its exceptional sharpness, it is also ideal for thin slices of fruit or cheese: for best results, always use the full length of the 13 cm blade and let the weight of the knife do the work for you.

With the Güde Pear from the Alpha series, you are purchasing an exclusive kitchen tool that combines the highest level of craftsmanship with innovative precision. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel features a fine serrated edge that effortlessly cuts through even the toughest tomato skins without crushing or fraying the delicate flesh. Up to 55 manual steps and the high-quality pear wood handle guarantee perfect balance, exceptional durability, and comfortable handling that feels good in your hand even during long cooking sessions. A classic and all-rounder: the knife is unsurpassed in its original task of cutting ripe tomatoes. Thanks to the special serrated edge and the hand-sharpened, stainless blade, you can cut even thin tomato slices cleanly and appetizingly – whether for salad, bruschetta, or as a garnish on your pizza. But the knife can do much more: it can also be used to slice other types of fruit and vegetables with firm skin and soft flesh, such as kiwis, mangoes, or melons, particularly cleanly and with little pressure. When it comes to cheese, the precise cut is impressive – from cheddar slices to delicate blue cheese. Creative chefs also use the knife for delicate work: For example, cut fruit for creative dessert compositions, garnish canapés with wafer-thin slices of arugula, or prepare a sushi platter with perfectly cut avocado and papaya. The knife also shows its strengths when removing stems or making small decorative cuts from soft vegetables. Thanks to its robust construction, the blade remains sharp for a long time even with intensive use, allowing you to concentrate fully on what's important: enjoyable cooking with the best ingredients. The Güde Pear is your reliable companion for all cutting tasks where precision, easy cutting, and an appetizing appearance are important – whether classic or creative, during the day in everyday life or in the evening for a special dinner. Experience how this knife effortlessly transforms fine ingredients into perfect slices – and enjoy Solingen quality every day, which can be felt in every movement.
