Güde Alpha Olive Knives
The Güde Alpha Olive knife series is completely handcrafted in Germany. All knives in the series feel very good and solid in the hand due to their own weight. This requires less muscle power when cutting. The range of Güde Alpha Olive knives offers you the right knife for every purpose.
The handle made of old olive wood is a real eye-catcher
The handle scales of the Güde Alpha Olive knife series are made from selected olive wood. The olive wood of the handles consists of up to 500-year-old olive wood. Olive wood is generally a very hard wood, which is extremely weather-resistant. The structure is heavily grained, making it particularly noble and elegant. The handle is not dishwasher safe due to its natural material.
The ice-hardened and hand-forged blade ensures long-lasting sharpness
All Güde Alpha Olive knives have hand-forged blades. They are made from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The further processing of the blades is carried out in over 40 manual steps at the company headquarters in Solingen. Each blade of the Güde Alpha Olive knives is stainless, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened.
Storage and care of the Güde Alpha Olive knives
To ensure that you always have your Güde Alpha Olive knives quickly and easily at hand, it is recommended to store the high-quality knives in a suitable knife block. This should be solidly constructed. The material of the knife block should match the knives. However, if you are one of those chefs who rarely have space on their kitchen countertop, then magnetic strips are a good alternative.
Remember the sacred commandments of knife care:
- Never leave your knife uncleaned! This is especially true after handling acidic foods like fruits or vegetables.
- Clean your knife immediately after use with a damp cloth!
- Never clean your knife with corrosive or abrasive agents!
- If your knife has a wooden handle, do not put it in the dishwasher or leave it in water!
- Never store your knife loosely in the drawer! Contact with other knives can damage the blade.
