Alpha Santoku Knife - POM - 18cm

Güde Alpha Santoku – with black POM handle

The Güde Santoku 1746/18 from the Alpha series features a black handle made of POM. The Güde knife sits comfortably in the hand, which is partly due 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.

This versatile, all-purpose knife has a tapered blade and is an essential tool for any kitchen. The Santoku is a typical Japanese blade shape, ideal for fine cutting tasks involving meat, fish, and vegetables. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha Santoku is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 18 cm long blade is made from chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, forged in one piece, rustproof, and ice-hardened. The typical knife rivets are made of stainless steel, though the palm rivet is made of non-rustproof aluminum.

Güde – Chef's Knives from Solingen

Producing high-quality forged knives by hand in small batches was, is, and remains the philosophy of the Güde knife manufactory – for four generations, without any compromises, and always committed to the centuries-old art of knife making that established the reputation of the city of Solingen.

The finely polished handle is made of robust and low-maintenance Hostaform, a high-quality plastic, and is dishwasher safe. Nevertheless, the Santoku should be cleaned by hand immediately after use to maintain its fine edge. Usually, a dishcloth dampened with warm water is sufficient for this.

The knives are crafted to a high standard, are extremely functional, and feature a timelessly simple design. Blade hand-forged in one piece from chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual work steps. The knives of the Alpha series meet the requirements of guidelines for knives used in professional catering and offer the greatest variety of models within the Güde series.
