"Chai Dao" is the term for a Chinese chef's knife with the typical shape of a cleaver. The Güde knife E742 from the Alpha series "Fasseiche" is excellent for slicing and chopping. It cleanly and professionally cuts meat, fish, and vegetables. The hand-forged blade made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum steel is crafted from a single piece, is rust-free, ice-hardened, and hand-sharpened. The extraordinary handle of this Güde knife is made from oak wood sourced from wine barrels that are over 80 years old, which has become nearly indestructible due to its long aging process. The rivets are made of rust-free stainless steel, while the "palm rivet" in the center is made of non-stainless aluminum. Güde knives with wooden handles should never be placed in the dishwasher.
