Güde Alpha Pear Peeling Knife 6 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Pear Wood

With any knife, peeling can actually be done, but with the paring knife, vegetables & fruits can be shaped even more perfectly. In kitchen jargon, peeling and shaping is called "tournieren." This is when crescent-shaped potatoes are often carved.

The Alpha Pear paring knife has a 6 cm long blade, curved at the tip, made of stainless and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The curved tip, also known as a "Kniepe," allows for extremely precise fine and round cuts.

Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the blade tip 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 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 inclusion by the Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe, Germany section, into the circle of Preferred Suppliers. The association's logo is engraved in the double bolster.
