About the knife series
The knives in the Güde Alpha series feature ergonomically shaped handles made from finely grained American walnut wood, which are secured with three stainless steel rivets and the characteristic aluminum palm rivet.
To ensure the highest quality, the blades are traditionally hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand.
Typical features include perfect balance thanks to the full tang and double bolster, as well as a durable hardness of approx. 57–58 HRc.
Each knife is manufactured with great care in up to 55 manual steps and combines fine materials with traditional Solingen craftsmanship.

Pro tip:
Using light pressure and an angle of approximately 15–20 degrees, pull your knife evenly back and forth about ten times across both sides of the medium-fine, hard chrome-plated surface of the Güde walnutGüde – this will keep your blade permanently sharp and precise without removing any unnecessary material. Be sure not to put the elegant walnut handle in the dishwasher so that you can enjoy the look and balance of your tool for a long time to come.
The Güde walnut Güde is your reliable partner when it comes to keeping your kitchen knives sharp. Thanks to its medium-fine grit, you can gently and effectively maintain your high-quality kitchen knives – with regular use, every blade will remain razor sharp for many years. Run your kitchen knife over the sharpening steel at an angle of 15-20 degrees, alternating between both sides, whenever you notice a loss of sharpness while cutting or want a particularly precise cutting result.
The Güde is ideal for re-sharpening cook's, meat, or vegetable knives before, for example, portioning a high-quality steak, cutting wafer-thin slices of vegetables, or filleting fish. Sharpness lays the foundation for clean, effortless work and protects your cutting materials.
You can also use your sharpening steel creatively for your bread knives or smaller specialty knives, for example, for precisely cutting sushi, delicate decorations made from fruit and vegetables, or even before finely chopping delicate herbs—this preserves the flavors and textures brilliantly.
The magnetized, hard chrome-plated blade immediately binds tiny metal particles so they don't stick to your knives, making blade care more hygienic and safer. The elegantly crafted walnut handle not only looks great, but its ergonomic shape also supports longer and fatigue-free work in the ambitious kitchen.
With the Güde walnut Güde , you are investing in lasting sharpness and precision for your kitchen knives – noticeable with every cut, whether you are preparing a classic gourmet meal or trying out your creative cooking ideas.
