Güde Alpha Pear Peeling Knife 6 cm - CVM Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales
With any knife, you can technically peel, but with a peeling knife, you can bring vegetables and fruit to an even more perfect shape. In kitchen jargon, peeling and shaping is called "tourner". This is where half-moon-shaped potatoes are often carved.
The Alpha Birne peeling knife has a 6 cm long, curved blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The curved tip, also called a "knee", allows for extremely precise fine and round cuts.
Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the blade tip 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 approximately 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 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.
