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. Features The large, versatile high-carbon stainless steel blade can handle a variety of tasks with ease, making it the ultimate all-purpose knife. It is perfect for slicing, chopping, and dicing, as well as other tasks such as mincing, peeling, and deveining. The ergonomically designed handle made of beautiful pear wood provides a comfortable grip and is easy to clean. The handle is also shaped to fit the contours of your hand, which helps to reduce fatigue and improve control. The chef's knife is handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, with high-quality materials and traditional knife-making techniques. This ensures that the knife is made to the highest standards and will provide years of use. The chef's knife is forged, meaning it is made from a single bar of steel making it harder and thicker. This makes the knife more durable and able to withstand heavy use. Blade Length: 8-in
