Güde Damascus Steel Bread Knife 32 cm - Handle Scales Desert Ironwood

Bread knife? No, more like a bread sword. Yes, it is long, very long indeed. In this case, however, size DOES matter. No other bread knife allows you to cut bread so easily and with so much pleasure. Please restrain yourself, as more slices than needed are quickly cut.

The Alpha Olive bread sword literally glides through hard and soft crusts. It has a 32 cm long, straight blade with the famous Güde serrated edge made of stainless & hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade length ensures you won't despair even with wide loaves, and the weight supports your sawing motion, requiring only light pressure. A truly impressive bread knife in every respect.

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, acts as a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special mix of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the stainless blades with a hardness of about 58 HRC a special robustness and longevity.

The finely polished handle scales made from up to 500-year-old, selected olive wood are embedded in the steel and triple-riveted. The very hard & durable wood has a strong, elegant grain.
