Güde Alpha Preparation Knife 16 cm - CVM Steel Blade - Hostaform Handle Scales
The preparation knife resembles in shape a boning and garnishing knife and is often the beloved knife, especially among female chefs. If the chef's knife appears too wide and heavy to you, the preparation knife is the perfect alternative.
The Alpha preparation knife has a 16 cm long, narrow blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened 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, 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 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.
