500 year old olive wood meets Solingen blacksmithing - the Güde Alpha Olive Paring Knife
The handcrafted paring knife 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 Güde paring knife is a classic paring knife. The 9 cm long blade of the knife is ideal for peeling and cutting vegetables, fruits and herbs.
Knife series Güde Alpha Olive:
Once you've prepared fruit or vegetables with the Güde paring knife, you won't want to imagine your kitchen without them. With sharp, clean and precise cuts, it makes the preparation almost automatically. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is made from one piece, ice-hardened and hand-sharpened. The paring knife from 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 the Güde company 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 thus ice-hardened after processing. As a result, the knife remains as sharp as when it was 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 processed 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 handles of the Güde Alpha Olive series are also 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.
Company GÜDE Solingen:
Manufacturing forged knives of the highest quality and small numbers by hand was, is and remains the philosophy of the company - for four generations and without any compromises. The company GÜDE feels committed to the centuries-old art of knife making, which established the reputation of the city of Solingen.
