About the knife series

The Kappa series from Güde made for discerning chefs and connoisseurs: each knife and piece of cutlery is hand-forged from a single piece of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel and refined in over 30 manual steps.
This solid metal design creates a unique, perfectly balanced shape without transitions or seams – the blade and handle merge seamlessly, ensuring perfect weight distribution, maximum durability, and comfortable handling. The characteristic drop-forging process and the typical Güde give the series its unmistakable, award-winning design and high cutting performance with a hardness of approx. 57–58 HRc.
All items in the Kappa series Kappa stainless, ice-hardened, and even dishwasher-safe —a genuine piece of Solingen knife manufacturing that meets the highest standards.
