Güde THE KNIFE Chef knife 21cm Damascus design 300 layers

The Gude The Knife damask knife is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. From the design to the 40 stages of production that determine its quality, everything has been thought out so that this very special knife is THE knife to use without the slightest effort. You'll be so surprised, you'll feel as if it's gradually becoming an extension of your arm.

The German company Gude has been creating exceptional knives for years, knowing how to work steels and woods in a unique way, and guaranteeing you ranges of knives with incredibly impeccable finishes, and a look that's both sophisticated and authentic!

This time, Gude has put all its experience and know-how into creating a knife that goes beyond conventional standards. What we offer here is a concentrate of efficiency.

The blade is made of steel with a high carbon and nickel concentration (5 or 6%), giving it a hardness of around 60 HRC. It has also been hand-forged by Markus Balbach, a company renowned in Germany for its damascus and quality steel. In fact, its 300-layer damascus gives the knife the perfect blend of flexibility and hardness. Crafted to be razor-sharp and long-lasting, this chef's knife will enable you to cut your most stubborn dishes quickly and ergonomically.

The 21cm-long blade features a flap to protect your fingers during use. This special shape ensures that your hands are safe, whatever you're cutting.

The handle is made of grenadilla wood, known for its strength and resistance to humidity. Its density makes it waterproof and durable. Its dark brown tone adds cachet to this already remarkable knife, and its seamless insertion into the blade line demonstrates Gude's ineluctable experience in cutlery design.

If we add up all these advantages, THE KNIFE damask knife stands head and shoulders above standard chef's knives. Indeed, this knife usually encounters a not inconsiderable ergonomic problem. As it is made up of 3 parts: the blade, the bolster and the handle, balance is sometimes difficult between these last elements, forcing chefs to hold the bolster, or even put a finger on the blade to increase the knife's ergonomics. As a result, the fingers become twisted, which can lead to unpleasant musculoskeletal disorders.

With THE KNIFE, balance is automatic and effortless. Thanks to its ease of handling, the transfer of force between the arm and the tip of the blade is immediate, and your cuts will be that much cleaner and faster.

This makes it ideal for both professional chefs and novice cooks looking for high-quality equipment.

To clean it, you'll need to wash it manually (as it has a high carbon content) with a non-acidic oil (which could leave marks), such as camellia oil or kerosene oil, and wipe it dry. It should be used on a wooden board, not a hard surface, to preserve its effectiveness.

Its style is unique: as much for its curves as for the materials used and its damask finish. Its incredible, original shape will make this piece a sensational addition to your kitchen. Its sleek design will delight all cooks, the perfect blend of modernity with its shiny blade and the rusticity of its wooden handle.

It's a perfect blend of modernity, with its shiny blade, and rustic wood handle. It's halfway between a knife of formidable efficiency and ergonomics, and a designer decorative piece! Once you've tried it, you won't be able to do without it... Rediscover the pleasure of cutting with this atypical and admirable knife!
