Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Paring Knife 10 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Wine Barrel Oak Wood

The larding and garnishing knife is primarily designed for larding meat, as the tip allows for precise and accurate cuts. In parallel, this knife can also beautifully and decoratively cut fruits and vegetables. Larding and garnishing knives can confidently be referred to as small all-purpose knives, for fine cutting work, peeling, and so on and so forth.

The medium Alpha Barrel Oak larding knife has a 10 cm long, narrow and pointed blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade is rigid and allows you good control.

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 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 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.
