Super Sharp and Great Value. You Need This Knife!
Holy moly this is the real deal!! I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but I received an amazing knife that blows me away. The Dalstrong Vahalla Series Satoku knife with leather sheath was a great purchase and I am going to grab another one from this brand and series as well. Probably the Chef’s Knife next. Such a beautiful knife and I love the sheath to protect the blade. I am so happy to have found this knife. It’s razor sharp and I sliced a tomato with it as its test case and was able to make paper thin slices. And it is versatile too. I chopped some onions effortlessly and no crushing which means no tearing up. It is just so nice to have a real knife and I can’t wait to have a second one shortly. Thank you.

Absolutely Beautiful Knife!
Have been a big fan of Dalstong knives for quite awhile and I was not disappointed with this one! It's a gift but maybe I'll keep if for myself 😊I have small hands and this 7" Santoku is easy for me to hold and has great balance. I have other Dalstrong knives and I find they hold a sharp edge much longer than some other brands do and it is easy to sharpen yourself should you need to just to keep the razor sharp edge. Personally I feel it is a great price for exceptional quality and you will not be disappointed in your purchase5 Stars for this one !

The best knives you can buy!
I love Dalstrong knives more than anything in my house, so let me just cut to the chase, buy it. If there was a house fire, and I could only grab one item, I’m grabbing my knife.I am constantly in the kitchen, and their nakiri knives are my absolute favorite. I use it exclusively for 99.9% of my cooking needs.My husband bought me one of their 7” nakiri knives (Gladiator series) about 5 or so years ago as a present, and it is still in immaculate condition even with heavy everyday usage. We moved recently, and he bought me this Valhalla version of the 7” nakiri. I was practically jumping up and down. These knives will last you a lifetime if you take care of them, and their customer service is top-notch.The weight is absolutely perfect. Theyre full tang. Very sharp, and lovely to hold when you have to prep tons of stuff in the kitchen. Plus, they’re just beautiful to look at.Look no further. Dalstrong is THE best. Yes, they’re pricey, but once you use a Dalstrong knife, you will never go back.

WOW What Can I Say
UPDATE: I have been using this knife constantly since I purchased it, to the point where I now feel sorry for the other ones in my collection, this knife is just that awesome!! I have since purchased the paring knife and now the santoku knife, all from this Valhalla collection, reviews on those coming soon. I just can not get enough of this knife!! Buy it, you will NOT be sorry. Oh, and I also purchased their Ulu knife as well.The Nakiri is my favorite kitchen knife and I have 4 of them, and I have been looking at this beauty for some time, but it is expensive, so finally I was lucky enough to be able to purchase it and patiently waited the 2 days to receive it. I kept checking to see how many stops away it was, but sadly it arrived pretty late and I was really tired, but opening this knife woke me right up!! The beauty of this knife is undeniable, the first thing I did was grab a piece of paper and it glided through it like butter, I just can't stop staring at this gorgeous knife!!! I always plan meals in advance, but tonight I changed my meal plan so I can cut tons of veggies with my new knife, and the sheath it comes with is just gorgeous too!! This is a knife I really want to display so I can just stare at it, I have a beautiful edge grain teakwood cutting board which I display on my counter, what better place to display this gorgeous knife than right on that board!!! I am soooo happy with it!

Feels a little cheap, but so far stands up
Arrived timely- packaging was quite stunning. A real show stopper if you gave as a gift to a home cook or unprofessional chef. Handle mis very light, so depending on how you like you blades weighted (I prefer my japanese with heavier handles). It is a blended handle with a easy bolster- I dont mind the ergonomics for pinch gripping, just with there was more heft to it. The steel is a 'mystery', but I would say it is closer to a VG10 steel but softer elements (not a heavier carbon- no staining). I generally use very long 9" chefs blades- but was seeking something a bit more compact and liked the idea of that neat point (for on site camping, hunting, etc). The finishing was poor with a nasty mark on the bolster- I wish they spent the money on finishing rather than packaging- however it really impressed my husband who is definitely more form over function in comparison to myself. Overall, im keeping it, and will use it often. This type of steel really lends itself to basically a all purpose, indestructable 7" santoku with a aesthetic flare for the dramatic ;)
