Alpha Bread Knife - Olive - 21cm

Güde Alpha Bread Knife with Olive Wood Handle

The Güde Olive Bread Knife 430/21 from the Alpha Series features a beautiful olive wood handle. This Güde knife sits comfortably in the hand, thanks in part to the hallmark of the Güde Alpha series: the second bolster, or forged pommel at the end of the handle, which gives Güde Alpha knives their excellent balance while cutting.

The Güde bread knife has a serrated edge with pointed teeth, making it even easier to slice bread, baguettes, and rolls. It cuts through firm bread just as cleanly as soft bread, making it a true kitchen essential. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha bread knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 21cm blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is forged from a single 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 olive wood handle scales, with their unique grain and coloring, define the special charm of this knife series. The olive wood handle and the ice-hardened blade appreciate being cleaned by hand immediately after use. Usually, a cloth 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 of high-quality workmanship, extremely functional, and feature a timeless, simple design. Now, these classic knives are getting a Mediterranean touch with handle scales made of select olive wood. The olive wood, sourced from trees 100 to 500 years old, is very hard and robust. The Güde Alpha series with olive wood handle is the perfect combination of traditional Mediterranean wood and superior 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; grain patterns and inclusions are intentional. The blade is rust-proof, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened, and is not dishwasher safe.
