1910 -FOUNDATION OF THE MANUFACTORY BY KARL GÜDE...

at a time when more than 9,000 - mostly small - hand workshops were producing cutlery in Solingen and establishing the worldwide reputation of Solingen knives. From the very beginning, Güde knives were drop-forged from one piece of steel, ground by hand, fitted with handles and honed by hand - so they have always been among the highest quality Solingen products.

1923 -FRANZ GÜDE, KARL GÜDES' SON, TAKES OVER THE MANUFACTORY

and continues to consistently apply the traditional quality standards. He is deeply involved in the development of new grindings and grinding processes.

The palms - Whether as a reminder of a trip to southern countries or as a reminiscence of the booming South American market at the time - in 1923 the three palms were introduced as the trademark of Güde and immediately became a worldwide known symbol for knife quality Made in Solingen.
