The production of the finest possible handcrafted, forged cutlery is and always has been the driving philosophy of our company. For four generations the Güde family has neither compromised on nor wavered from this credo. Today Güde is proud to continue the centuries old tradition of quality knifemaking for which the town of Solingen is justly world famous.
Especially larger pieces of meat are difficult to lift with tongs, for which a kitchen fork is ideal. With the sharpened tines you can simply lift the meat to the desired place, e.g. directly while serving at the dining table or while cooking into the pan or the dutch oven. The Alpha Olive meat fork has 7 inch long, sharpened tines made of chrome vanadium molybdenum knife steel. The high-quality steel has been used to ensure that the tines do not bend during lifting and remain permanently sharp.
Gude knives are hand-forged in Solingen, Germany from one piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the blade tip to the double crop. The double crop, a special feature of Gude knives, is a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The special mixture of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with more than 30 manual steps give the stainless steel blades with a hardness of approx. 57 HRC a special robustness and longevity.
The handles of the Gude Alpha Olive knife series are made of selected olive wood. It comes from Andalusia in Spain and can be up to 500 years old. This type of wood is generally very hard and extremely weatherproof. The structure is strongly grained and therefore looks particularly noble and elegant. The knives of the Alpha Olive series are not dishwasher safe due to its natural material.
