Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Cleaver / Chopper 18 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Frustrated? Let off some steam! Our solution: Get yourself a whole back of beef, lamb or game, take your cleaver, go into the kitchen, cut the back into fine pieces, put the pieces on the grill or in the pan and enjoy the meal. Everything's fine again.

The Alpha Barrel Oak Hacker or Cleaver has an 18 cm long, wide and thick blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade is extremely stable and you can cut bones without worrying about your blade. But please watch out for your fingers!

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 the 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 durability.

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 Barrel Oak 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.
