Description
A professional-quality ham knife designed for precise, paper-thin slicing of ham, roasts, fish, and other delicate foods. Made with a slim, flexible 8.2-in blade crafted from high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel for exceptional sharpness, durability, and precise cutting
Hand-Forged Steel, Ice-Hardened in Solingen
Every Güde Chef's begins as a single bar of rust-resistant chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel. It's hand-forged, then ice-hardened in the Solingen factory to 57–58 HRC — hard enough to hold a razor edge through intensive daily use, flexible enough to handle a full range of cutting tasks without chipping. Over 40 manual steps go into each finished knife, making it a genuine piece of Solingen craftsmanship.
Güde's signature double bolster acts as a precision counterweight, bringing the knife into perfect equilibrium. Combined with full-tang construction, every gram is accounted for — so the knife feels like an extension of your hand, not a tool you're managing.
Micarta: Beauty That Grips Back
Strikingly beautiful and remarkably tough, Micarta leaves the microscopic fibers of its canvas or linen base exposed, creating a naturally slip-resistant texture. Unlike other handle materials that turn slick when wet or greasy, Micarta actually grips tighter—so you don't have to squeeze as hard, even through long prep sessions. Micarta will not crack or shrink
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a damp cloth immediately after use. Do not put in the dishwasher. Avoid leaving the knife uncleaned after cutting acidic foods, and never use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. With proper care, this knife is built to last a lifetime.
