Güde Alpha Walnut Preparation Knife 16 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Walnut Wood Handle Scales

The preparation knife resembles the shape of a paring knife and is often the beloved knife, especially among female chefs. Especially when the chef's knife seems too wide and heavy to you, the preparation knife is the perfect alternative.

The Alpha walnut preparation knife has a 16 cm long, narrow blade made of stainless, hand-ground chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Despite the narrow blade, the knife is stiffer than, for example, a filleting knife.

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, serves as a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the stainless blades, with a hardness of about 58 HRC, exceptional robustness and durability.

The finely polished handle scales made of selected walnut wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard and durable wood has a strong, elegant grain.
