Güde Alpha Micarta Series Forged Bread Knife 12.5-in, Micarta Handle

Designed for effortless, precise slicing, the Güde Alpha Bread Knife combines traditional Solingen craftsmanship with a long 12.6-inch serrated blade. It cuts cleanly through everything from crusty sourdough and rustic loaves to soft brioche and layered cakes without crushing delicate interiors. Its long blade is also well suited for slicing large fruits and vegetables with firm skins, including melons, pineapples, and pumpkins, as well as sheet cakes and sandwich rolls. Signature Double-Sided Serrated Edge Güde’s distinctive pointed-tooth serrated edge is designed to grip and cut simultaneously, allowing the blade to move smoothly through hard crusts while preserving softer interiors for clean, even slices. Ambidextrous Design The double-sided serrated edge provides consistent cutting performance for both right- and left-handed users. Hand-Forged & Ice-Hardened in Solingen Each Güde knife begins with high-quality chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel, hand-forged and ice-hardened in Solingen, Germany to 56 HRC. More than 40 individual production steps go into every knife, combining traditional craftsmanship with durability and lasting cutting performance. Güde’s double-bolster construction provides excellent balance, while the full-tang design offers stability and control throughout every cut.
