The ham knife of the high-quality and popular Alpha Pear series from Güde is a 21 cm long kitchen knife, which is mainly used to cut large cuttings, but can also perform various other tasks. It is drop-forged from a single piece and then finished by hand in 40 additional steps. A double bolster perfectly balances the blade, making it less of a strain on the wrist to work with, and thus much more comfortable. The handle scales are made of pear wood, which underlines the noble character of the knife with its fine-pored structure. The high-quality X50CrMoV15 steel is used as the blade material, as it is extremely easy to clean and yet outstandingly sharp. Since these are very high-quality kitchen knives with wooden handles, they should not be put in the dishwasher.

All Alpha models with wood should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
