Güde The Knife G-X888/26 with olive wood handle

Güde - The Knife. – The (re-)discovery of cutting

Even at first glance, it's clear that The Knife has relatively little in common with a conventional chef's knife. The seemingly short handle and the strikingly large blade with its very wide spine—which can only be achieved with a forged knife—make one think more of a designer object.

But once you've worked with The Knife., you'll realize that it's not just about breathtaking beauty, but above all about unique handling. You automatically hold The Knife. like a professional chef holds a chef's knife. Your thumb and index finger form a U and securely grasp the blade. The middle finger is comfortably "parked" in the finely crafted recess at the end of the blade. This places the center of gravity perfectly inside the hand, ensuring fatigue-free working.

No transitions are distracting, all lines flow smoothly. This automatically guarantees the correct grip position and a comfortable hand rest.

Cooking with The Knife is actually even more fun than just looking at it!
