GÜDE, ALPHA OLIVE BREAD KNIFE 12.5".

This bread knife is enhanced with a 12.5" serrated blade that can cut all different types of bread, cake or pie. According to Güde's philosophy, a bread knife needs to cut through bread and not squish it.

Each knife in the Alpha Olive Series begins as a single piece of specially alloyed Chrome-Vanadium-Moly cutlery steel, beginning with hand forging and continuing through more than forty separate steps in the production process before completion. The grip scales are crafted from very hard 100-200 year old olive wood which resists moisture and exhibits a beautiful grain giving each knife a special elegance all its own.
