Güde Alpha Santoku Knife 18 cm with Hollows - CVM Knife Steel - Hostaform 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 tasks. 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 Alpha Santoku knife with hollows has an 18 cm long, wide blade with a slight curvature at the tip made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Additional, laterally ground hollows prevent the cut material from sticking to the wide blade due to the resulting air cushion, which also often serves as a shovel here.
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 longevity.
The finely polished handle scales made of Hostaform are embedded in the steel and triple riveted. Hostaform plastic is extremely resistant, very hygienic and comfortable to hold. The Alpha series meets the strict requirements for use in gastronomy and offers the widest variety of models.
