Güde Alpha Pear Fillet Knife 18 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Pear Wood Handle Scales

A filleting knife is for…? Well? Exactly, it's meant for filleting. Unlike a chef's knife, it has a narrower and thinner blade. With it, you can, for example, trim meat and fish, meaning remove skin and tendons. And then cut them into wafer-thin pieces, in other words, fillet.

The Alpha Pear filleting knife has a thin and narrow blade with a length of 18 cm made from stainless & hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Of course, you can also use the filleting knife for many other 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, acts as a counterbalance to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special mix of the steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the stainless blades a special robustness and durability with a hardness of about 58 HRC.

The finely polished handle scales made of pear wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Pear wood is extremely hard with a finely structured, velvety grain. The Alpha Pear series was launched on the occasion of Güde's admission by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, Germany section, into the circle of Preferred Suppliers. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
