About the knife series
The Güde Alpha series combines traditional Solingen blacksmithing with fine American walnut wood and impresses with its characteristic grain and high-quality workmanship. Each blade is forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel in over 40 manual steps, ice-hardened, and sharpened by hand, with an optimal hardness of 57-58 HRC ensuring excellent sharpness and cutting durability. The hard walnut wood handle scales are triple-riveted with stainless steel rivets, while the central palm rivet is made of aluminum with the characteristic Güde. The full tang and typical double bolster guarantee perfect balance, safe handling, and fatigue-free work with the highest standards of quality and functionality.

Pro Tip:
Use the Güde Alpha Güde for fine cutting tasks such as herbs, vegetables, or meat, and make sure to hold the knife as close as possible to the transition from the blade to the handle—this will allow you to guide the knife with particular precision and control.
Always pull the sharp blade through the material in a steady, rocking motion to achieve clean cuts and optimal results.
The Güde Walnut Güde is your versatile everyday companion for all cutting tasks in the kitchen. The slim, 16 cm long blade made of hand-forged chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel ensures clean and precise cuts – whether you want to prepare meat, fish, vegetables, or fresh herbs.
