111 years of knife manufacture GÜDE | Innovation has tradition - since 1910
The Blade:
The blade of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is hand-forged from one piece of steel. In over 40 further manual operations by hand, it becomes a unique piece of Solingen knifemaking art. The handle scales of finely textured, velvety olive wood should not be put in the dishwasher. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened, and of course, hand-sharpened.
The Handle:
The handle scales of the Alpha Olive series are made of selected olive wood up to 500 years old. The wood of the olive is tough and weatherproof. This makes it the ideal material for knife handles. The strong grain and the distinctive light-dark effects of the olive wood make each knife an elegant one-of-a-kind.
My third knife as I keep losing these ( or borrowed and not returned ). Stay sharp for a while and easy to sharpen afterwards. Good grip from the handle.
What a beautiful knife. The hammered pattern on the blade is not only beautiful, it helps release food when chopping. The knife is very well crafted. It’s extremely sharp and well balanced. Craftsmanship, features and eye catching good looks make this knife a great buy for the price point.
Amazing looking knife (true to the picture), you will not be disappointed! Very good quality build and definitely up to the task of being used as your main chef's knife! Shipped and arrived very quickly as well.
Gift wrapped and polished my first impression was awe the weight and balance of the knives is perfect with wood handle for perfect styling . I’m so pleased
Je suis ravi d'avoir acheté ce couteau, il est très bien et rend la découpe des légumes plus simple et précise. Cela dit, le couteau vient avec une étiquette dans la boîte qui mentionne le prix est de 7500 YEN au Japon et ici il vendu deux fois plus cher voire plus quand il n'est pas en spécial, c'est un peu ordinaire.
I’m always a little sceptical when ordering from a new site online, but they were very friendly and helpful, even shipped out the next day!! It was for a gift, but so happy with it! Thank you kindly :)
