About the knife series

The Güde Kappa is characterized by its unique handcrafting, in which the knives are forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. This solid metal design ensures optimal weight distribution and balance, making these tools particularly comfortable to use. The knives are stainless and ice-hardened, making them extremely durable and resistant to the demands of the catering industry. Over 30 manual steps are required to complete each knife, which is reflected in the high quality and timeless design of the series.
