Chai Dao is the term for a Chinese kitchen knife with the typical shape of a cleaver. The Güde knife 1742 from the Alpha series is excellently suited for cutting and chopping; it also cleanly and expertly chops meat, fish, and vegetables. The hand-forged, 18 cm long blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel is crafted from a single piece, is rust-free, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened. The finely polished handle of this Güde knife is made from robust and easy-care Hostaform (high-quality plastic) and features an aluminum palm rivet in the center. Therefore, the knife is not dishwasher safe. The knives of the Güde Alpha series meet the requirements of the guidelines for knives used in the gastronomy sector.
