Chinese chef's knife (Chai Dao) by Güde Messer Solingen
The Chinese chef's knife Chai Dao is a masterpiece of traditional and modern knife making. With its unique shape, which resembles a cleaver, it offers you a wide range of uses in the kitchen - whether for cutting, chopping or transporting ingredients. This multi-award-winning knife not only stands for outstanding cutting quality, but also for timeless design.
PERFECTION IN CUTTING POWER AND HANDLING
The Chai Dao impresses with its wide, flat blade, which enables fast and precise work. Thanks to its own weight, the knife performs many tasks almost by itself. With a gentle back and forth movement, you can cut meat, fish or vegetables effortlessly and cleanly. At the same time, the blade serves as a practical pallet for safely transporting cut ingredients.
A CLASSIC FROM THE GÜDE MESSER SOLINGEN MANUFACTORY
For more than 110 years, Güde Messer Solingen has stood for hand-forged premium knives. The combination of traditional forging craftsmanship and trend-setting design has made Güde an icon. Each individual knife is carefully crafted by hand in 55 steps from a single piece of high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel. This process avoids weak points and ensures exceptional durability.
The manufactory not only impresses with its technical precision, but also with its sustainability. There are stories of Güde over 50 years old that only needed new handle scales, while the blades remained impressively sharp. The origin of this quality lies in Solingen, the world-famous "city of blades", which stands for the highest standards.
