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.
