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 glides effortlessly through hard and soft crusts. It has a 32 cm long, straight blade with the famous Güde serrated edge made from stainless & hand-sharpened chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. The blade length ensures you won't despair even with wide loaves, and the weight of the knife 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 counterbalance to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special blend of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with over 30 manual steps give the stainless blades a special robustness and durability, with a hardness of about 58 HRC.

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 & resilient wood has a strong, elegant grain.
