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.

The forged transition between blade and handle, the so-called bolster, is pronounced as a single bolster in this series, not as a double bolster as in the Alpha series from GÜDE (exception: the Franz GÜDE bread knife). This look makes the knives in the Franz GÜDE series a real classic. Because of the wooden handles, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened and of course hand-sharpened.
