Güde ALPHA-OLIVE Chai Dao

The blade is hand-forged in a single piece from chromium-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel.

Afterwards subjected to more than 40 further manual work steps.

The handle is made of 500 year old, selected olive wood, which is particularly hard, resistant to weathering, rich grained and especially elegant.

Ice-hardened stainless steel, sharpened by hand. The handle is not dishwasher safe.


Chinese cooking is becoming more and more popular. This inceases the interest for Asien cooking utensils.
So we followed the advise of Theodor Heinrichsohn (an expert in Asian cooking) and produced a Güde-version
of a Chinese chef´s knife. We manufacture this knife in the well known Güde quality and forged it out of one piece of stainless steel.
The Chinese chef´s knife looks rather like a cleaver, and is more effective than the european chef´s knife which makes Chai Dao very interesting. It is specifically used for many Asian dishes which need to be cooked for only a few minutes, and this means that the ingredients have to be cut into small pieces. Most Chinese do this with their one and only chef´s knife. The sharp and wide blade has a good and safe feeling and you can cut either
small or big pieces.
You can also chop herbs, garlic or pepper etc. When the prepared ingredients have to be transfered into the wok or pot, it can be done very easily with the wide blade of Chai Dao.
For the Chinese cooking, Chai Dao is the ideal kitchen tool.
