Güde Chef's Knife
At Butch, we are often asked whether the extensive range of specialty knives offered by some brands is really necessary for the hobby cook: There are extra filleting knives, paring knives, preparation knives … Can't you cut, chop, and peel almost everything in the kitchen with a good chef's knife? Yes, you could, dear heroes in the kitchen! However, some tasks wouldn't necessarily be easy to handle with it. That's why there are special knives for many activities, which are adapted in size, blade shape, and grind to the specific task. Nevertheless, a chef's knife should not be missing in any kitchen. It is the all-rounder in the collection - the hero in your knife block!
About the Güde Brand
The knife manufactory Güde was founded in 1910 by Karl Güde in Solingen. Since then, knives of the Güde brand have stood for an excellent price/performance ratio. Forging high-quality knives in small quantities by hand was, is, and remains the philosophy of the company. Güde is committed to the centuries-old art of knife making. However, knives are not only functional tools, they should also be pleasing. The range of Güde chef's knives alone leaves nothing to be desired: Here you can choose between different handle materials, various blade lengths, and both traditional and innovative shapes like those of the Synchros series or “The Knife” (more on this later …)
The Chef's Knife
The chef's knife is THE universal tool in the kitchen. Whether you are a professional or hobby cook, it is easy to work with. It is used for chopping, mincing, and slicing meat, fish, and vegetables. There are many types of knives, but none is as versatile as this all-rounder. Chef's knives have comparatively long blades – at Güde, they measure between 16 to 26 cm – have a heavy handle that usually balances the blade and a broad blade surface. Güde chef's knives are relatively heavy and long to relieve the arm and hand even during longer working phases: The knife already exerts a certain pressure on the cutting material with its own weight; so you can cut vegetables and meat with a well-sharpened chef's knife without much effort.
The Knife Steel
Güde knives are hand-forged from a single piece of CVM steel, from the tip of the blade to the double bolster. CVM, a chrome-vanadium-molybdenum mixture, is ideally suited for use in the kitchen. Molybdenum gives the steel the necessary toughness, and vanadium prevents rapid wear of the blade. The so-called double bolster is a special feature of Güde knives: Here, the end of the handle is made of steel and acts as a counterweight to the blade. The special alloy of the steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with around fifty manual work steps give the stainless blades a hardness of about 58 HRC as well as special robustness and durability. At Butch, we even go so far as to award Güde knives the distinction of “lifetime” in private use. Proper care and handling, of course, assumed.
