Alpha Vegetable Knife – Olive – 9cm

Güde Alpha Paring Knife – with olive wood handle

The Güde Paring Knife X701/9 from the Alpha series features a beautiful olive wood handle. The Güde knife sits comfortably 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 Güde Alpha knives their excellent balance when cutting.

The Güde paring knife is arguably the little classic in the kitchen. It is suitable for all typical cutting tasks: peeling, dividing, cleaning, trimming, and is ideal for coring fruit—it is a must-have in any kitchen. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha paring knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 9 cm long blade is made from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, is rust-resistant, and ice-hardened. The typical knife rivets are made of stainless steel, while the palm rivet is made of non-stainless aluminum.

The olive wood handle scales, with their unique grain and coloring, provide the special charm of this knife series. After peeling, cleaning, and coring fruit, the small paring knife should be cleaned by hand immediately. Usually, a dishcloth dampened with warm water is sufficient. The knife is not dishwasher safe.

Güde Knives – Olive

The Güde Alpha series combines classic Solingen craftsmanship with a Mediterranean lifestyle. The knives are high-quality, extremely functional, and feature a timelessly simple design. These classic knives now receive a Mediterranean touch with handle scales made from select olive wood. The olive wood, which comes from trees 100 to 500 years old, is very hard and robust. The Güde Alpha series with an olive wood handle is the perfect combination of traditional Mediterranean wood and the finest forging art.

Blade hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual steps. Each handle scale is unique; grains and inclusions are intentional. The blade is rust-resistant, ice-hardened, hand-sharpened, and not dishwasher safe.
