500 year old olive wood meets Solingen blacksmithing - the Güde Alpha Olive Chef's Knife Chai Dao

The handcrafted chef's knife Chai Dao comes from the Güde Alpha Olive knife series. The combination of 500 year old olive wood and traditional blacksmithing make this kitchen knife unique. The Güde company uses approx. 500 year old olive wood from sustainable wood cultivation for the handle scales. The slow growth of the olive tree gives the wood its unique grain and makes it more resistant. Olive wood handle scales are antibacterial and are comfortable to hold. Due to the different grains of the olive wood, each knife is unique. The name “Chai Dao” stands for a Chinese chef's knife with the shape of a cleaver that is typical for these knives. The Güde chef's knife Chai Dao from the Alpha Fasseiche series is very elegant for a typical cleaver. It is perfect for chopping meat, fish and vegetables. Larger pieces of meat are also no problem for this knife. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is made from one piece, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened. The chef's knife Chai Dao by Güde 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.

Güde Alpha Olive Series:

The Güde Alpha Olive series is classic Solingen craft in a timelessly simple design, high-quality workmanship and extremely functional. The blades - made of rustproof Thyssen CMV steel - are drop forged, ice-hardened and sharpened by hand. The handle scales made of olive wood are riveted three times and give each Güde Alpha Olive chef's knife an individual and timeless look. The handle scales of the Güde Alpha Olive series are made from 100 to 500 years old, selected olive wood. This makes them very hard and robust. This series is a perfect combination of historical wood and traditional blacksmithing.

The company GÜDE feels committed to the centuries-old art of knife making, which established the reputation of the city of Solingen.
