Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Santoku Knife 18 cm Granton Edge - CVM Steel - Handle Scales made of Wine Barrel Oak
Actually, Güde can also do Japanese, at least in terms of blade shapes. The world-famous Santoku is the equivalent of the European chef's knife. A universal knife that is used in Japanese kitchens for almost all cutting tasks. Unlike the chef's knife, it has a wider, straighter blade that is only slightly rounded at the tip. This is due to the preferred cutting technique in the Asian region, the chop.
The Alpha Oak Barrel Santoku knife with kullens has an 18 cm long, wide blade with a slight curve at the tip made of rust-free and hand-ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Additional kullens ground on the side prevent the food from sticking to the wide blade by creating an air cushion. The blade also often serves as a shovel.
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 wine barrels over 80 years old, called stave wood, are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Due to the long aging process, 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.
