Güde Alpha Pear Herb Knife Shark 14 cm - CVM Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales

Cutting herbs with a rocking knife can become cumbersome, as no hand is free to hold the herbs. With the Güde Shark herb knife, you can cut herbs in a rocking motion with one hand and use the other hand to hold the herbs in place. But please don't ask us why the knife is called Shark.

The Alpha Birne Shark herb knife has a 14 cm long, wide, and highly curved blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel. The curved blade allows for a back-and-forth rocking motion. It's perfect for cutting herbs, onions, garlic, and much more, even in a waltz rhythm.

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, involving over 30 manual steps, give the rust-free blades with a hardness of approximately 58 HRC exceptional 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 fine-grained, velvety texture. The Alpha Birne series was launched on the occasion of Güde's inclusion in the circle of preferred suppliers by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, section Germany. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
