Forged in Solingen, Germany
Carving & Slicing Knives
Carving and slicing knives are long and narrow so that a roast, a ham or a side of salmon can be crossed in a single pass rather than sawed at, which leaves the juice in the meat instead of on the board. Güde drop-forges the blades from one bar of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardens them and sharpens them by hand in Solingen through up to 55 manual operations, and the forged bolster keeps the weight back in the hand behind all that length.
Lengths run from 6 to 12 inches: carving knives at 6, 8 and 10 inches, slicing knives at 6, 8.2 and 10 inches, salmon slicers at 10 and 12 inches, flexible fillet knives at 7 and 8 inches, and a serrated roast beef slicer at 10 inches. The Alpha, Alpha Olive, Alpha Pear, Alpha BK oak, Delta, Mikarta and SYNCHROS series are all represented, and two-piece carving sets are offered in Alpha, Alpha Olive and Alpha Pear.

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.
