Gude The Knife Multi-Use Chef's Knife With Oak Wood Handle, 10-in

The production of the finest possible handcrafted, forged cutlery is and always has been the driving philosophy of our company. For four generations the Güde family has neither compromised on nor wavered from this credo. Today Güde is proud to continue the centuries old tradition of quality knife making for which the town of Solingen is justly world famous. Even at first glance, it is clear that 'The Knife' doesn't have much in common with a conventional chef's knife. In fact, its seemingly short handle and noticeably large blade with a very wide back, which can only be achieved in a forged knife, are more reminiscent of a designer object. Nevertheless, as soon as you have actually worked with 'The Knife', you will realize that this isn't just an example of breathtaking beauty, but also, and above all, a kitchen tool boasting unique handling. The fact that the knife contains nothing but flowing lines and no disturbing transitions automatically guarantees the right grasp and comfortable hand support at all times. Features This chef knife is the ultimate all-purpose knife, perfect for slicing, chopping, and dicing. The large, versatile high-carbon stainless steel blade can handle a variety of tasks with ease. The short handle automatically lets the user grip the knife much further forward than normal. So far forward that the thumb and index finger enclose the blade. The blade becomes an (almost) natural extension of the hand. The short handle provides a comfortable grip, even when your hands are wet or slippery. This makes it easy to control the knife, even when you're working with tough ingredients. Solingen is known for its high-quality knife-making, so you can be sure that this chef knife is made with the best materials and craftsmanship. The blade is forged, which means that it is made from a single bar of steel. This makes the blade harder and thicker, which makes it more durable and resistant to damage. The knife comes in a beautiful present box, making it the perfect gift for any occasion. The knife also includes a Gude kitchen cloth, which is perfect for cleaning and drying the knife. Blade Length: 10-in Hand was only Made in Solingen, Germany
