Güde Alpha Barrel Oak Tomato Knife 13 cm with Serrated Edge - CVM Knife Steel - Handle Scales Made of Wine Barrel Oak Wood

The tomato knife is a paring and garnishing knife with a fine serrated edge. Ripe, soft vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, can be easily cut with this knife if you don't have a well-sharpened knife at hand.

The Alpha Barrel Oak tomato knife has a 13 cm long, narrow, and pointed blade made of stainless, hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Additionally, a fine serrated edge is ground on one side of the blade.

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 counterbalance 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, with a hardness of approximately 58 HRC, exceptional robustness and durability.

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 process, 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 is laser-engraved on each blade.
