Gude Delta Flexible Fillet Knife With African Black Wood Handle

The production of the finest possible handcrafted, forged cutlery is and always has been the driving philosophy of our company. For four generations the Gde family has neither compromised on nor wavered from this credo. Today Gde is proud to continue the centuries old tradition of quality knifemaking for which the town of Solingen is justly world famous. The Delta fillet knife of Gude Solingen has a thin and narrow blade with a length of inch made of stainless & hand-ground chrome vanadium molybdenum knife steel. It can use it, for example, to parry meat and fish or free them from skin and tendons. And then cut into wafer-thin pieces. The flexible steel of the 7 inch blade adapts even better to the tendon. Of course you can also use the filleting knife for many other cutting jobs. The Gude Delta knife series is hand-forged entirely with a drop hammer, as usual at the traditional knife manufacturer Solingen, Germany. The blade is made of stainless chrome-molybdenum-vanadium knife steel and hand-sharpened. The raw blank is further processed more than 40 largely manual operations. The grip inlays consist of grenadilla, a savannah wood from which musical instruments (flute, oboe) are usually made. The handle inlays are raised and therefore look particularly noble. The solid execution and the generously used materials give the knives of the Gude Delta series an extraordinary balance and make cutting a special experience. The classic handle shapes, which has been use for over 100 years, has been retained - enlarged for the smaller knives.
