Güde Alpha Walnut Peeling Knife 6 cm - CVM Steel - Walnut Wood Handle Scales

With any knife, you can technically peel, but with a paring knife, you can bring vegetables and fruit to an even more perfect shape. In kitchen jargon, peeling and shaping is called "tourner." This is where half-moon shaped potatoes are often carved.

The Alpha Olive paring knife has a 6 cm long, curved blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened Chrom-Vanadium-Molybdenum steel. The curved tip, also known as a "knee," allows for extremely precise fine and round cuts.

Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of Chrom-Vanadium-Molybdenum steel, from the blade tip to the double bolster. The double bolster, a special feature of Güde knives, provides a counterbalance 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 up to 500-year-old, selected olive wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard and resistant wood has a strong, elegant grain.
