Wenger was founded in 1893 in Switzerland. Today they not only offer the world-famous Genuine Swiss Army knives, but also a range of knives for every job. The Delemont Forged line of knives combines extensive experience and a unique sleek design with all the improved qualities offered by forged blades in a product that provides excellent price to value. The nature of the one-piece construction forged blades means the knives have excellent balance and wear resistance and a long lasting sharp edge – and the quality of their manufacture is assured by the fact they are finished and sharpened by a master sharpener. The forged blades are created by pressing hot stainless steel into a mould and hammering it into shape. The blade goes through various subsequent processes to enhance its flexibility, density and hardness and is then machined into shape with a bolster and a full tang that extends through the handle. Finally, the blade surfaces are finely polished by hand – not machine – to remove imperfections that mechanical polishing would miss. This creates an almost flawless uniformity that, combined with top quality hardened steel, results in a Wenger knife that offers incomparable cutting performance and performs as well years later as it does brand new.
