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

The preparation knife is similar in shape to a paring & garnishing knife and is often the beloved knife, especially among female chefs. If the chef's knife seems too wide and heavy for you, the preparation knife is the perfect alternative.

The Alpha preparation knife has a 16 cm long, narrow blade made of stainless, hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Despite the narrow blade, the knife is more rigid 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, acts as a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special mixture 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 approximately 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.
