ALPHA OLIVE | Santoku Knife Smooth Blade 7 inch | Forged Steel / Olive wood handle
GÜDE | Santoku Knife 7" Blade | Made in Germany
The Alpha Olive Santoku from Gude Solingen is adequate for the European chef's knife. A universal knife is used in Japanese kitchens for almost all cutting work. In contrast to the European chef knife, it has a wider, straighter blade, which is only slightly rounded at the tip. This is due to the chopping technique preferred in Asia. A unique hollow edge ground also prevents food from sticking to the wide blade due to the resulting air cushion.
Gude knives are hand-forged in Solingen, Germany, from one piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, from the blade tip to the double crop. The double crop, a unique feature of Gude knives, is a counterweight to the blade. The knife is perfectly balanced. The unique mixture of steel and the elaborate manufacturing process with more than 30 manual steps give the stainless steel blades a hardness of approx. 57 HRC special robustness and longevity.
The Gude Alpha Olive knife series handles are made of selected olive wood. It comes from Andalusia in Spain and can be up to 500 years old. This type of wood is generally tough and highly weatherproof. The structure is strongly grained and therefore looks particularly noble and elegant. The knives of the Alpha Olive series are not dishwasher safe due to their natural material.

It’s just the perfect things I need for cutting vegetables, meat and fish
I wanted a utility knife of some kind to compliment my Miyabi without breaking the bank. Found this to be a great option. Nice blade, great design, and the handle is very nice and comfortable. Definitely recommend.
HAGAKURE 20 | Japanese Santoku Knife 8" - 67 Layer VG10 Steel
I ordered two day ago 4 of them. Receive my order this morning. They more than expected, nice and sharp as a wish. Thanks a lot.
I liked the looks of the Okuma knife , it has nice blue handle with 3 rivets , very well made from Ginza Japanese steel and very sharp blade can cut paper because it's so sharp .
I wanted a versatile knife and this is it !
Love it..sharp, comfortable to use….fits hand….tbe Best knife I have. Thank you JapanChefKnife Happy with this must have knife❤️🔔🌲
I have a few Japanese knives of high carbon steel that are my favourites, but the claim of VG10 steel on this blade at this price made it irresistible. The blade came sharp, but I typically sharpen to a higher level. Although I haven't refined the edge yet, I look forward to seeing the results on this blade, as I really like it on some of my pocket knives.
Came with in the time range, the package was rapped great and was sold.
Shipped quickly. Looks as described... It's gorgeous. Feels sturdy.
Exactly what I was looking. Top quality
This meat fork (Fleishe Gabel in German) looks awesome and very well-made, just like my oversized Guede Alpha Brot Messer was. I've received several compliments about it already this year, including a "WOW, that's really cool!" from the Made-In store manager in Austin.
Definitely would recommend Guede knives to anyone who wants quality kitchen knives that will last a lifetime and be passed down to the next generation! Ausgutzeichnet (Excellent)!
Shipping time was very good and am very happy with my new knife
