Delta

In terms of sharpness and edge retention, the wading angle is of particular importance, as cutting is "physically" the driving of a wedge through a material to be cut. The sharper the angle of the wedge, i.e. the bevel angle, the better. Wate is the knifemakers' term for the cutting edge, i.e. the sharply ground part of a knife. An acute bevel angle makes a knife sharper than a blunt bevel angle. However, if the bevel angle is too acute, the edge can break. This is why the Delta series knives from GÜDE have an optimum bevel angle of approx. 33 degrees. This angle guarantees sharpness and stability at the same time. With its hardness of approx. 57-58 HRc (Rockwell), the chrome-molybdenum-vanadium blade steel of the Delta series ensures that the sharpness lasts for a long time. The prerequisite is cutting on a suitable cutting surface, e.g. made of wood or plastic. The proverbial balance of the Delta series knives is achieved thanks to the double bolster in combination with the all-metal handle and smoked oak inlays. This creates a counterweight to the blade in the handle area. For the user, this means perfect balance and fatigue-free working. A secure grip is guaranteed at all times. This is because the front and rear bolsters enclose the hand and thus protect against unintentional slipping, even when greater force is applied. The knives in the Delta series deliver what the ambitious amateur chef expects from a perfect knife. Made by hand, drop-forged from a single piece, with the experience of centuries of Solingen knife-making.
