Güde Alpha Olive Santoku Knife 14 cm - CVM Knife Steel - Olive Wood Handle Scales
Indeed, Güde can also do Japanese, at least such blade shapes. The world-famous Santoku is the equivalent to the European chef's knife. A universal knife, which is used in Japanese kitchens for almost all cutting work. In contrast to the chef's knife, it has a wider, straighter blade, which is only slightly rounded at the tip. This is due to the cutting technique preferred in Asia, chopping.
The small Alpha Olive Santoku knife has a 14 cm long, wide blade with a slight curve at the tip made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The wide blade often serves as a shovel here as well.
Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the blade tip to the double bolster. The double bolster, a special feature of 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 of up to 500-year-old, selected olive wood are embedded in the steel and triple riveted. The very hard & resistant wood has a strong, elegant grain.
