Alpha Chef's Knife - Oak Barrel Wood - 16cm

Güde Alpha Chef's Knife 16cm – with Oak Wine Barrel Handle

The Güde Chef's Knife E805/16 from the Alpha series features a beautiful handle made of oak wine barrel wood. The Güde knife feels well-balanced in the hand, thanks in part to the trademark of the Güde Alpha series: the secondary bolster or forged pommel at the end of the handle, which gives the Güde Alpha knives their excellent balance when cutting.

This versatile, all-purpose knife has a tapered blade and is an essential tool for any kitchen. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha chef's knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 16cm blade, made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, is forged in one piece, rust-proof, and ice-hardened. The typical knife rivets are made of stainless steel, though the palm rivet is made of non-stainless aluminum.

The handle scales, crafted from the oak of wine barrels over 80 years old, give this knife series its special charm. The chef's knife with its 16cm blade and oak barrel handle should be cleaned by hand immediately after use. Usually, a cloth dampened with warm water is sufficient. The knife is not dishwasher safe.

Güde Knives – Oak Wine Barrel

In collaboration with star chef Harald Rüssel, whose gourmet restaurant and hotel, Landhaus St. Urban, is located in a side valley of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region and belongs to the Nik Weis winery, Güde created this series – not just for wine lovers and cooking enthusiasts. This knife series received the coveted Red Dot Design Award.

Blade hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual steps. The handle scales are made from the oak of wine barrels over 80 years old, which has become nearly indestructible due to its long maturation. Each handle scale is unique; grain patterns and inclusions are intentional and do not constitute grounds for a complaint. The blade is rust-proof, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened; it is not dishwasher safe.
