Forged in Solingen, Germany
Serrated Knives
The serration on a Güde knife is the manufactory’s own invention: in the 1930s Franz Güde developed an edge with pointed teeth that cuts through a crust, a skin or a seared surface without tearing what lies beneath it. The teeth are still ground by hand in Solingen, into blades drop-forged from a single bar of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, ice-hardened and taken through up to 55 manual operations, and they hold far longer than the stamped serrations they are usually set against.
This is every serrated blade Güde makes, running from 4 inch Universal utility knives to 12 inch bread knives and taking in 5 inch tomato knives, 4.5 inch steak and Porterhouse knives, 6 inch cheese knives, a 10 inch serrated slicer for roast beef, and 4- and 6-piece steak knife sets. The Alpha, Alpha Olive, Alpha Pear, Delta, SYNCHROS in smoked oak, high-carbon Franz Güde in olive wood and Universal series are all here, along with left-handed and ambidextrous bread knives and the 12 inch Briccole di Venezia and Alpha Walnut editions.

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.
