Güde Alpha Chef's Knife 16 cm - CVM Steel - Hostaform Handle Scales
Nothing, but absolutely nothing is more important than a proper chef's knife. No matter what requirements may arise, with a chef's knife you can handle 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 small Alpha 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 mixture of steel 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 Hostaform handle scales are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Hostaform plastic is extremely resistant, very hygienic, and feels comfortable in the hand. The Alpha series meets the strict requirements for use in gastronomy and offers the largest variety of models.
