Noble wood meets traditional blacksmithing - the Güde Alpha barrel oak ham knife

The handcrafted ham knife comes from the Güde Alpha Fasseiche knife series, which was developed in collaboration between Güde and the star chef Harald Rüssel. The combination of fine wood and traditional blacksmithing make this kitchen knife unique. The wood of the handle comes from oak wine barrels that are over 80 years old - the so-called Fuder barrel wood. Due to the long period of ripening, the oak wood used is considered to be almost indestructible and extremely robust. The Güde ham knife of the Alpha Fasseiche series with its 21 cm long, slim and sharp blade is not only perfect for cutting ham. It is also ideal for carving other meat and fish. Its blade glides precisely through firmer and more tender meat and you can create tender, thin slices as well as cubes or strips. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is made from one piece, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened. The Güde ham knife has a blade hardness of 56 HRC. Accordingly, a simple regrinding is possible without the material suffering as a result. The mixture of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum is mainly used by Güde for the production of high-quality knives. This means that the blade has an optimal level of corrosion resistance, i.e. it is rust-free. The blade steel is ice-hardened after processing. As a result, the knife remains as sharp as when used for the first time, even after repeated use.
