Franz Güde has been manufacturing Güde Solingen since 1910. Solingen for over four generations. Each blade is created in up to 40 steps, from the selection of the steel to the final polish.
What makes Güde special is that Güde still Güde master craftsmen who pass on their knowledge and individually test each knife. This combination of traditional Solingen blacksmithing and the highest quality standards makes every Güde a reliable tool for life.
When you choose a Güde, you are choosing precision, durability, and genuine craftsmanship —knives that make their history tangible with every cut.
The Güde Alpha Güde B055/26 combines traditional Solingen craftsmanship with maximum precision and modern design. Each sharpening steel is created in up to 55 manual steps, setting standards in quality and durability. The 26 cm long, hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel ensures reliable and long-lasting sharpening results and is ideal for regular use in the kitchen. A medium-fine sharpening action quickly and safely restores not only all Güde, but also other high-quality kitchen knives to their original sharpness – ideal for re-sharpening when the blade loses its sharpness but is not yet blunt.The handle, made of finely grained, velvety pear wood, fits comfortably in the hand, is triple-riveted, and underlines the exclusive character of this tool. The Alpha series stands for stylish enjoyment and professional standards – the sharpening steel perfectly complements the knife series. Lovers of fine chef's knives appreciate the craftsmanship with which each cutting edge is straightened without removing material. Give your knives lasting sharpness and professional cutting performance with this sharpening steel from Franz Güde. A tool that not only impresses with its quality and workmanship, but also perfectly underlines your passion for good craftsmanship and exclusive kitchen equipment.
Pro Tip:
Before each use, pull your knives a few times at an angle of about 15–20 degrees evenly and without pressure over the Güde Alpha Güde – this will keep the cutting edge permanently sharp without removing any material. Note that the 26 cm long sharpening steel is ideal for safely and comfortably sharpening even large blades.
With the Güde Alpha Güde B055/26, you can restore your high-quality knives to their original sharpness in no time at all and enhance your cutting experience to a professional level. Thanks to its medium-fine grit, this tool is ideal for precisely straightening the fine cutting edge before the knife becomes noticeably blunt. In classic use, you use the sharpening steel before cutting meat, fish, or vegetables to restore your chef's knife—for example, the Güde or Santoku—to perfect cutting performance. Regular use, especially in ambitious everyday cooking, allows you to master even demanding cuts such as carving a roast, finely filleting fish or precisely chopping herbs effortlessly and safely. Even bread knives benefit: gently pull the serrated blade over the sharpening steel to keep it sharp for longer. Used creatively, the sharpening steel is also ideal for sharpening other high-quality blades in the household, such as paring or fruit knives, so that you always achieve precise results, from wafer-thin tomato slices to the finest orange peel. With a little practice, even amateur chefs can keep their knives as sharp as the pros—and that's thanks to the stylish, comfortable pear wood handle, which provides a secure grip every time you sharpen. A quick pull across the sharpening steel before cutting saves you from having to resharpen, increases the lifespan of your knives, and underscores your appreciation for craftsmanship and enjoyment every time you prepare food.
