Franz D. Güde continued the tradition of handcrafted knives in Solingen, despite the rise of automation and rationalized work processes in manufacturing. Güde maintained the highest quality standards by producing special knivesthrough the ages. The production processes are also long-established. On the one hand, the manufacturers benefit from our wealth of experience, so in particular they always rely on manual labor in the manufacturing process, and on the other hand they know how to appreciate and intelligently use the achievements of modern technology. Thus, they combine the best of both worlds. The main focus of their work, however, is the production of forks, knives, spoons and similar products in the traditional way. Thus, you can always be assured of the highest quality. Buying from a German cutlery manufacturer always means an investment in the future. Because the products are characterized by a special quality and longevity thanks to the carefully rehearsed production process. Tradition also means resisting the temptations of cheap mass production and returning to the time-honored craft of cutlery manufacturing. After all, all producers are extremely aware of their responsibility for the reputation of the region and German craftsmanship. Cutlery sets for gift
