## Why we chose it

Güde forges blade and bolsters from one continuous bar of X50CrMoV15 stainless — no welds, no separate bolster pieces. Olivewood scales are natural wood sealed with food-safe mineral oil per the brand care guide, not resin-impregnated. Double-bolster design adds weight at the heel for balance. Family operation in Solingen since 1910.
