About the knife series

The Alpha series from Güde with hand-forged blades made of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, which are manufactured in up to 40 manual steps, ice-hardened, and precisely sharpened by hand.
A special feature are the handles made from barrel oak wood from wine barrels that are over 100 years old, giving each knife a unique grain, exceptional robustness, and a stylish, classic look.
The characteristic palm rivet in the center of the handle and the typical three-rivet design with carefully polished stainless steel or brass rivets stand for traditional workmanship and unmistakable design.
The balanced weight, double bolster, and optimized balance ensure a fatigue-free, precise cutting experience—a knife with history and the highest level of craftsmanship.

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

The Güde E464/13 Güde from the Alpha series combines exclusive craftsmanship and timeless elegance for discerning connoisseurs. The hand-forged chrome-vanadium-molybdenum blade is manufactured in Solingen up to 40 manual steps – for unmatched sharpness, durability, and maximum precision with every cut. Thanks to its fine serrated edge, the knife glides effortlessly through any tomato without crushing the delicate skin and is also perfect for cutting cheese or fruit. The handle, made from decades-old barrel oak wood – sourced from wine barrels over 100 years old – gives the knife a unique look and feels comfortable and secure in the hand. Modern cutting technology meets traditional craftsmanship: the blade remains extremely sharp and durable thanks to ice hardening. With a blade length of 13 cm, this knife is ideal for precise tasks in the kitchen and impresses both amateur chefs and professionals alike. Choose an authentic, unique piece from the Solingen factory – and experience cutting artistry at the highest level.

Pro Tip:

For particularly clean slices with the Fasseiche tomato knife, gently press the fine serrated blade through the tomato without applying too much pressure, using a small sawing motion – this will leave the flesh intact and ensure a perfect cut.Tip: This knife is also ideal for precisely cutting soft fruits or thin layers of cheese; it is best to clean the knife by hand immediately after use to protect the elegant oak handle in the long term.

Whether for breakfast, preparing a Mediterranean salad, or for sophisticated cuisine for guests, the Güde E464/13 Güde from the Alpha series combines exclusive craftsmanship and timeless elegance for discerning connoisseurs. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum is manufactured in Solingen up to 40 manual steps – for unmatched sharpness, durability, and maximum precision with every cut.

Use the tomato knife for its classic purpose: cutting ripe tomatoes into even, clean slices without losing juice or damaging the structure. The pointed serrations of the serrated edge effortlessly penetrate even the hardest skins and deliver perfect results for caprese, bruschetta, or decorative garnishes. But the knife can do much more: use it to precisely cut soft cheeses such as mozzarella, Camembert, or goat cheese without the blade sticking. Even delicate fruits such as peaches, nectarines, or plums can be portioned exactly without crushing the sensitive fruit.

Used creatively, the tomato knife becomes a real all-rounder in your kitchen: use it to cut fresh baguettes or crispy rolls without crushing the airy crumb. For baking enthusiasts, it is ideal for cutting cakes and tarts, especially those with soft bases or creamy fillings. The knife also shows its strengths when preparing antipasti – whether pickled peppers, soft eggplants, or marinated zucchini. You can even cut thin slices of citrus fruits for cocktails or desserts where precision and clean edges are required. The compact size and balanced weight also make the knife ideal for delicate work when garnishing and decorating your dishes.
