Güde Alpha Pear Ham Knife 21 cm - CVM Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales

Once the blade length reaches a certain point, fillet knives are then called ham knives. Otherwise, everything is pretty much the same. A narrow and thin blade that can be used to fillet meat and fish and cut them into the finest slices or tranches.

The Alpha Birne ham knife has a 21 cm long, narrow and thin blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. It is slightly rounded at the tip.

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 in the circle of preferred suppliers by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, section Germany. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
