Franz Gude

Not sure which Güde series is right for you? Compare all 15 lines side by side → or read our guide.
Named after the inventor of the "Güde serrated edge", a serrated edge with particularly sharp teeth, the knives in this series made of stainless steel and with a handle made of plum tree wood show what classic Güde knives used to look like. The chrome-vanadium-molybdenum blade is hand-forged from a single piece of steel. In many further manual operations, it becomes a unique piece of Solingen knifemaking art.

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 fast do you ship?

You can return an item within 30 days of purchase, and every knife is covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. We prepay return postage when an item arrives damaged or incorrect. Returns and refunds

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.
