Alpha Paring Knife – Olive – 6cm

Güde Alpha Paring Knife – with Olive Wood Handle

The Güde Paring Knife X703/6 from the Alpha Series features a beautiful olive wood handle. This Güde knife fits comfortably in the hand, which is partly due to the trademark feature of the Güde Alpha series: the second bolster, or the forged pommel at the end of the handle, which gives Güde Alpha knives their excellent balance when cutting.

The Güde paring knife peels potatoes, vegetables, and fruit effortlessly and economically. Because its curved, saber-shaped blade adapts to every curve during peeling, making it easy to guide, it is an essential tool for any kitchen. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha paring knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 6 cm blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is crafted from a single piece, is stainless, 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, provide the special charm of this knife series. The paring knife with olive wood scales should be cleaned by hand once the saber-shaped blade has finished peeling the last of the vegetables. 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 timeless, minimalist design. Now, these classic knives receive a Mediterranean touch with handle scales made of select olive wood. The olive wood, which comes from 100- to 500-year-old olive trees, is very hard and robust. The Güde Alpha series with olive wood handles 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 a unique piece; grains and inclusions are intentional. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened; it is not dishwasher safe.
