Güde Alpha Walnut Chai Dao 16 cm - CVM steel blade - Walnut wood handle scales

You probably know the Japanese Santoku. Have you heard of the Chai Dao? This is, in addition to the Chinese chef's knife, which looks like a cleaver to Europeans, a preferred knife in Chinese kitchens.

The Alpha Walnut Chai Dao has a 16 cm long, very wide blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. With the wide blade, you can easily cut larger food items and it is also used as a shovel.

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, provides a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special steel blend and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the rust-free blades with a hardness of approximately 58 HRC a special robustness and durability.

The finely polished handle scales made of selected walnut wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard and resistant wood has a strong, elegant grain.
