Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Boning Knife 13 cm Flexible - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Made from Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Sure, you can also buy fish and meat pre-portioned, but hand on heart: it's much more exciting to do the deboning yourself. With the right tools, it's quite simple too.

The Alpha Barrel Oak Boning Knife with its 13 cm long blade is designed for separating meat from the bone, the so-called deboning. The double-sided hand-sharpened, narrow, and pointed blade made of stainless chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel allows you to make very precise cuts along the bone and the central bone.

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, acts as a counterbalance to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special mixture of the steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the stainless blades with a hardness of about 58 HRC a special robustness and longevity.

The finely polished handle scales made from oak wood of wine barrels over 80 years old, called staves, are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Due to the long aging, the coarsely structured wood is extremely hard and almost indestructible. The Alpha Barrel Oak series was created in collaboration with star chef Harald Rüssel and his wife Ruth. Harald Rüssel's signature can be found as a laser engraving on each blade.
