Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Hard Cheese Knife 10cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Made from Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Cheese is a wonderful conclusion to a nice meal. And cutting hard cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino, or Emmental can be wonderfully celebrated with a suitable cheese knife.

The Alpha Barrel Oak Hard Cheese Knife has a 10 cm long blade made of stainless, hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade is rigid, and its shape resembles a chef's knife. This allows you to exert enough pressure on the knife even with very hard cheese.

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 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 from oak wood of wine barrels over 80 years old, called staves, are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. Due to the long aging, the coarsely structured wood is extremely hard and almost indestructible. The Alpha Barrel Oak series was created in collaboration with star chef Harald Rüssel and his wife Ruth. Harald Rüssel's signature can be found as a laser engraving on each blade.
