Güde knives.

These forged chef's knives from the old, traditional Solingen works of Franz Güde, have a forged piece at the end of the handle: this additional weight shifts the centre of gravity to the rear, thus providing superior balance. All Güde knives are made from stainless steel, ice-hardened, whetted and sharpened by hand. The handle covers - as now unfortunately required for all professional knives - are made of plastic. They are dishwasher-proof. The length measurements refer in all cases to the blades.
