The Güde Alpha Mikarta paring knife with a 10 cm blade length.
The blades are hand-forged and made from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual steps. The handle scales are made of particularly elegant Mikarta wood. The blade is rust-proof, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened; the handle is not dishwasher-safe.
Producing forged knives of the highest quality and in small batches by hand has always been, is, and remains Franz Güde's philosophy – for four generations and without any compromises. The employees of the Franz Güde manufactory feel committed to the centuries-old art of knifemaking that has established the reputation of the city of Solingen.
The blades are hand-forged and made from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual steps. The handle scales are made of select olive wood that's up to 500 years old. This wood is very hard, weather-resistant, and has a strong grain, making it particularly elegant. The blade is rust-proof, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened. The handle is not dishwasher-safe.
