Manufacturer: Franz Güde GmbH., Solingen, Germany
 

GÜDE has carefully analysed how chefs hold and use a knife. Thumb and forefinger form a U and securely grip the blade made of highquality stainless steel, which is widening towards the rear. The middle finger rests comfortably in the characteristic notch at the end of the blade. The centre of gravity is shifted to the palm of the hand. This shortens the lever length, the force of the hand acts straight downwards, and blade and handle become literally one. As a result, the innovative design of THE KNIFE. offers an optimal grip, maximum safety and perfect handling.

And cooking with it is an even more beautiful experience than just watching it.
