Forged in Solingen, Germany
Boning & Fillet Knives
Boning and filleting call for a narrow blade that follows bone and skin instead of cutting straight through them: stiff for separating a joint, flexible for lifting a fillet off its ribs. Güde drop-forges each one from a single bar of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardens it, and grinds the long taper by hand in Solingen, where up to 55 separate manual operations go into a finished knife.
Twelve knives, from 5 to 8 inches: stiff boning knives at 5 and 6 inches, flexible boning knives at 5 inches, and flexible fillet knives at 7 and 8 inches. Handles cover Alpha in black Hostaform, Alpha Olive, Alpha Pear and barrel oak, with Delta in African blackwood and one high-carbon Franz Güde filleting knife in plum wood.
Before you buy
Good to know
Güde Shop USA is Güde’s brand representative in the United States. Every knife ships from the USA, with a US team you can reach by email.
Which line should I choose?
Every Güde line shares a blade drop-forged from one bar of steel in Solingen. What changes is the handle, the balance and the care: Alpha has dishwasher-safe black Hostaform, Alpha Olive, Pear and Barrel Oak put the same blade on wood, Kappa is all metal, and SYNCHROS drops the bolster. The line comparison sets them side by side.
Which Güde knives are dishwasher-safe?
The Alpha line with black Hostaform handles, the Universal line and the all-metal Kappa. Every wood and Micarta handle is hand-wash only: rinse, dry and put the knife away.

How do I keep the edge sharp?
Hone on a sharpening steel every few uses and sharpen on a whetstone when honing no longer brings the edge back. Cut on wood or plastic, never glass or stone. The care and sharpening guide walks through it.
