Güde Alpha Pear Paring Knife 13 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales

The paring & garnishing knife is primarily designed for larding meat, as the tip allows for precise and accurate incisions. Additionally, this knife can also be used to beautifully and decoratively cut fruits and vegetables. Paring & garnishing knives can confidently be referred to as small utility knives, suitable for fine cutting tasks, peeling, and so on and so forth.

The large Alpha Pear paring knife has a 13 cm long, narrow, and pointed blade made of stainless, hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade is rigid and allows for good control.

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 unique feature of Güde knives, acts as a counterbalance to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process, involving over 30 manual steps, give the stainless blades a special robustness and durability with a hardness of approximately 58 HRC.

The finely polished handle scales made of pear wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Pear wood is extremely hard with a finely structured, velvety grain. The Alpha Pear series was launched on the occasion of Güde's inclusion by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe, Germany section, into the circle of Preferred Suppliers. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
