Güde Alpha Walnut Preparation Knife 16 cm - CVM Steel Blade - Walnut Wood Handle Scales

The preparation knife is similar in shape to a boning and garnishing knife and is often the beloved knife, especially among female chefs. If the chef's knife appears too wide and heavy, the preparation knife is the perfect alternative. The Alpha Walnut preparation knife has a 16 cm long, narrow blade made of rust-free and hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Despite the narrow blade, the knife is stiffer than, for example, a fillet knife. 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.
