Cheese Knife gude Alpha 15 cm blade, pear wood handle

The gude Alpha cheese knife features a 15 cm stainless steel blade paired with a pear wood handle, designed for precise cutting and serving of semi-soft and semi-hard cheeses. The compact blade length allows controlled portioning and neat slices, while the wooden handle offers a comfortable, traditional grip suitable for home kitchens and small catering tasks. The knife combines functional blade geometry and a natural handle material to support everyday cheese preparation and presentation.

Advantages

The 15 cm stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance and maintains a sharp edge for accurate slicing. The pear wood handle is ergonomically shaped to reduce hand fatigue during repeated use and adds a classic aesthetic. The knife’s size and balance make it easy to control when portioning cheeses, and the combination of materials suits both food-contact safety and visual table presentation.

Suitable for

• Cutting and serving semi-soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert and young Gouda
• Portioning semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar and aged Gouda into neat slices
• Home kitchens, small dinner parties and light catering service
• Cheese boards and table-side serving

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Blade length: 15 cm
• Handle material: pear wood
• Handle style: ergonomic, full tang or riveted construction as typical for wooden-handled cutlery
• Intended use: cutting and serving semi-soft to semi-hard cheeses

How to use

Hold the knife by the pear wood handle and position the blade at the desired cutting point on the cheese. Apply steady, even pressure and use a single smooth motion to slice through the cheese to preserve texture and appearance. For sticky or soft cheeses, wipe the blade between cuts to maintain clean slices. Use the knife to transfer portions from board to plate by supporting the slice with the blade or turning it onto a serving utensil.

Usage recommendations

Hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry immediately to protect the pear wood handle and stainless blade. Avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher use to preserve the wooden handle’s finish and the knife’s balance. Periodically treat the wooden handle with a food-safe mineral oil if the wood appears dry. Store the knife in a drawer insert or knife block to protect the blade edge and wooden handle.
