The handle scales of the series Gude Alpha Olive are made of selected olive wood that is up to 500 years old. The wood of the olive is very hard and weatherproof. This makes it the ideal material for knife handles. The strong grain and the distinctive light-dark effects of the olive wood make each knife an elegant one-of-a-kind.
The blade of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is hand-forged from one piece of steel. In over 40 further manual operations by hand, it becomes a unique piece of Solingen knifemaking art. The handle scales made of finely textured, velvety olive wood should not be put in the dishwasher. The blade is stainless, ice-hardened and of course hand-sharpened.
