The SYNCHROS series from GÜDE in Solingen as a complete package. This means a quartet of knives with the matching block, all made of smoked oak and coordinated with each other. The knife block is solidly made, stable, with slots tailored to this series, and its wood is matched to the knives it contains. Because it was built for this exclusive SYNCHROS series. Whether placed horizontally, vertically or in a drawer, it fulfills its function in every situation. Namely, to store expensive cutting tools safely and beautifully. Even when standing, the knives will not fall from their intended position, because point magnets on the handle hold the four models of the SYNCHROS series firmly in place. 
"Cover as many applications as possible with as few blade shapes as possible.”
This was the challenge that GÜDE of Solingen set itself for the four-part exclusive SYNCHROS series. The handle of scorched oak is the same length for all models, with a flowing transition to the human hand, but not based on the respective blade length. Hand and knife are so well matched that three flexible gripping positions are available for universal use. However the hand is raised due to the convex handle, while the tang, which is located at the bottom throughout, ensures a good balance. The blade, which is ground to the beard, allows the greatest possible application of force, while always keeping a safe distance from the cutting board.
The quartet consists of a chef's knife with a blade length of 23 cm, a carving knife with a blade length of 26 cm, a bread knife with a blade length of 32 cm, and a utility knife with a blade length of 14 cm. With the exception of the bread knife, all models have a smooth, slightly convex cutting edge; the carving knife has a partially flexible blade. These four blade shapes can perform almost any cutting task in the kitchen.
After use, such a knife should be cleaned immediately with a damp cloth. It is best to only let the blade come into contact with water, while keeping a firm hold on the handle.
