Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Peeling Knife 6 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Wine Barrel Oak Wood

Any knife can actually be used for peeling, but the peeling knife allows you to shape vegetables & fruit even more perfectly. In kitchen jargon, peeling and shaping is also known as turning. This is when half-moon shaped potatoes are often carved.

The Alpha Barrel Oak peeling knife has a 6 cm long blade, curved at the tip, made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The curved tip, also known as a knee, allows for extremely precise fine and round cuts.

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 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 a hardness of approx. 58 HRC, making them particularly robust and durable.

The finely polished handle scales made from the oak wood of over 80-year-old wine barrels, known as 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.
