Vegetable knife Güde Alpha Shark B749/14 14cm

Güde Alpha Herb knife Shark with pear wood handle and 14 cm blade. Also can be used as utility kitchen knife. The Alpha Series knives begin as a single piece of specially alloyed Chrome-Vanadium-Moly cutlery steel. Each knife is hand forged and continues through more than thirty separate steps in the production process before completion. Pear trees are deciduous trees, which have their distribution range in North-Africa, Europe and West-Asia over Persia and the Himalayas as far as Japan. Pear wood is hard, heavy and tough. It does not crack and is very dimensionally stable. The stability is related to the wood's so-called stone cells. They make it very dense and fine. The pear hardly has any visible annual rings in contrast to other tree varieties.
