We never thought that such a trivial task as peeling an apple could suddenly become fun. The Alpha Pear peeling knife proves us wrong. With its 6 cm long blade made of stainless X50CrMoV15 steel, it cuts up all hand-sized fruits and vegetables with ease. The curved shape makes it particularly easy to peel potatoes with outstanding precision. The manufacturing process of a Güde chef's knife is complicated and time-consuming. In about 40 manual operations, the steel is forged by hand, ice-hardened and then ground. The handle features two finely grained handles made of local pear wood, which feel right in your hand when you work with it. All Alpha models trimmed with wood should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
