Güde is a Solingen knife manufacturer with over 100 years of tradition. The knives are forged by hand in small quantities. Alpha series blades are made of forged chrome vanadium molybdenum knife steel. Each knife is processed in 30 manual operations. The finely polished handle is made of robust and easy-care Hostaform and is dishwasher safe. However, high quality knives Alpha series is better to clean by hand. They meet the requirements of the guidelines for knives for use in the catering industry. The knives Güde Alpha are stainless, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened.

All knives lose their sharpness over time. Professional chefs sharpen their knives once briefly with the sharpening steel before each operation. The knife is then even after years sharp as on the first day. A sharpening steel should be at least 26cm long. The hardness and the surface are also crucial for a really sharp knife. With a sharpening steel from Güde you are making the right decision.
