Güde Knives Alpha Mikarta
The Alpha Mikarta series combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials. Each knife is hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel and then ice-hardened to achieve an optimal hardness of approximately 57-58 HRC. The handles are made of Mikarta, a fiber-resin composite that not only ensures durability but also gives each knife a unique appearance through individual patterning.
The series includes various types of knives, such as chef's knives, ham knives, and office knives, designed for different cutting tasks. The characteristic double bolster ensures perfect balance and allows for fatigue-free work. Please note that due to the special handles, the knives are not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand.
