Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Chef's Knife 26 cm - CVM Steel - Handle Scales Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Nothing, but absolutely nothing is more important than a decent chef's knife. No matter what requirements may arise, with a chef's knife you can tackle almost all cutting tasks. Admittedly, sometimes it's easy, sometimes difficult, and sometimes very complicated. But in the end, it somehow works with the chef's knife. Because a good chef's knife is MacGyver and Chuck Norris in one tool.

The large Alpha Oak Barrel Chef's Knife has a wide and 16 cm long blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade is rigid and slightly rounded towards the tip. This makes it easy and precise to work with the rocking cut technique. The chef's knife is suitable for almost 90% of all cutting tasks.

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