Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Bread Knife 21 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Does a bread slicing machine take up too much space for you, or do you simply enjoy slicing bread by hand? Then you should definitely add the Güde bread knife to your selection of knives. After all, Franz Güde is the inventor of the serrated edge.

With the Alpha Fasseiche bread knife and its 21 cm long blade, you can slice any bread, regardless of whether it has a hard or soft crust, into even slices. The one-sided hand-sharpened blade with the famous Güde serrated edge made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel makes bread slicing machines seem superfluous.

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, provides a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual work steps give the rust-free blades with a hardness of approx. 58 HRC a special robustness and longevity.

The finely polished handle scales made from the oak wood of over 80-year-old wine barrels, called barrel staves, are embedded in the steel and triple riveted. Due to the long maturation, the coarsely structured wood is extremely hard and almost indestructible. The Alpha Fasseiche series was created in collaboration with the Michelin-starred chef Harald Rüssel and his wife Ruth. Harald Rüssel's signature can be found as a laser engraving on each blade.
