THE KNIFE. by GÜDE - The (re)discovery of cutting
Even at first glance, it is clear that THE KNIFE. has relatively little to do with a conventional chef's knife. The supposedly short handle and the strikingly large blade with the very wide back - only possible with a forged knife - make it look more like a design object.
But once you have worked with THE KNIFE., you know that it is not just about breathtaking beauty, but above all about unique handling. Just as a professional chef holds a chef's knife, THE KNIFE. is held automatically. The thumb and index finger form a U shape and securely grip the blade. The middle finger is comfortably "parked" in the finely crafted bulge at the end of the blade. This keeps the center of gravity perfectly in the palm of the hand and ensures fatigue-free work.
There is no transition to disturb, all lines are flowing. This automatically guarantees the correct grip position and a comfortable hand rest.
Cooking with THE KNIFE. is actually even better than just looking at it!
