Balkhauser Kotten - Güde Messer Solingen

Together with the Balkhauser Kotten Board of Trustees, Güde has developed the "Balkhauser Kotten" knife edition. The handles were made from the oak wood of the old waterwheel, which had to be replaced in 2008. The signet of the curatorship, designed by artist Heinz-Peter Knoop, shows the authenticity of the knife!

The blades are hand-forged and consist of a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing takes place in over 40 manual steps. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened - the handle is not dishwasher-safe.

Our knife collections

We value individuality—especially when it comes to developing and refining our knife collections. This is reflected in every single blade that leaves our workshop, in the selection of particularly beautiful and tactile handle materials, and in a unique ergonomic design that enables and celebrates fluid, fast, and precise work.

THE KNIFE.

Our THE KNIFE. truly lives up to its name: we conceived, developed, and forged this all-purpose knife with a particular focus on perfect ergonomics. Its unique shape and balance allow the hand to naturally wrap around the blade while cutting, making THE KNIFE. feel like a natural extension of the hand.

Bread knife

Güde in 1941 by master craftsman Franz Güde , the distinctiveGÜDE on our bread knives continues to delight bakers and bread lovers around the world today. The sharp serration of the unyielding, finely ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel ensures that loaves, baguettes, and rolls are sawed rather than crushed, and that cabbage, melons, and crispy roast meats can be cut with ease. The elegantly simple handles, crafted from various high-quality materials, further contribute to the legend of our knives.
