Güde Alpha Pear Chai Dao Knife 16 cm - CVM Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales
You probably know the Japanese Santoku. But have you heard of the Chai Dao? This is, in addition to the Chinese chef's knife that looks like a cleaver to Europeans, a preferred knife in Chinese kitchens.
The Alpha Birne Chai Dao has a 16 cm long, very wide blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel. With the wide blade, you can easily cut larger ingredients and it is also used as a shovel.
Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the tip of the blade to the double bolster. The double bolster, a special feature of Güde knives, provides a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special steel blend and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the rust-free blades with a hardness of about 58 HRC a special robustness and durability.
The finely polished pear wood handle scales are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Pear wood is extremely hard with a finely structured, velvety grain. The Alpha Birne series was launched on the occasion of Güde's inclusion by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, Section Germany, in the circle of preferred suppliers. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
