Excellent chef knife!

This chef knife is solid! Super sharp out the box! Has a nice weight to it, I was skeptical about the handle but it feels good in my hand. And is extremely sharp. Expensive, yes, but worth it. It’s my first Dalstrong knife. It has an elegance about it. Even with the hammered Damascus which isn’t laser etched so each knife in this series is different.It cuts and slices like a dream. This isn’t for cutting bone, even tho I’m sure it can, a cleaver would be better suited for that. Plus I like it has a full tang.Unlike some of their other knives that have a partial tang. If you are going to pay a decent amount of money for a knife it should have a full tang. IMO. And be sharp out the box. Honestly it needs to be seen in person to appreciate the craftsmanship.

Beautiful and Functional

I've been using this as my "daily driver" in the kitchen for a couple months now and I must say it is excellent. It is very sharp out of the box (not beard shaving razor sharp but more than sharp enough for the average kitchen chef like me). It is as sharp out of the box as the previous knife that I've sharpened with a whetstone by hand, which is impressive. It can chop any regular meats, vegetables, and fruits with ease and passes my "magazine paper" test with flying colors.10/10 appearance - Don't have to elaborate on this too much, the appearance is great. It comes with a cool looking box and a sheath which is great for displaying, but that's not too important to me.10/10 durability - After frequent use (average 10 minutes of chopping, etc. per day for a couple months) of meats, vegetables, fruits, and fish (through bone and everything), there has not been any visible damage to the cutting edge. All I do for maintenance is use a honing rod every couple days to keep the fine edge alignment good. With proper honing with a steel rod, I have not noticed any dulling of the blade after couple months of use. I don't plan on actually sharpening this blade for a very long time with a whetstone due to how good it performs and how well it retains its edge.10/10 functionality - It is sharpened all the way to the base and has a sharp tip and slightly rounded cutting edge. For "push" cutting style (which is how I chop 90% of the time) it feels amazing especially ending the cut in the middle to base of the knife. For "draw" cutting or slicing (meats and tomatoes mostly) it feels great as well both at the tip and towards the base. For the "rocking" chop I don't have too much information on since I don't often chop using that style, but I reason it would work quite well.If price is not an issue, then based upon my experiences I would recommend this product to any home kitchen enthusiast or anyone who cooks at home frequently. It makes chopping food way more enjoyable than with a dull knife that's for sure!

High quality blade.

extremely sharp. Scary sharp. The weight of the blade is perfectly balanced. The handle is beautiful quality. The rocking of the blade is a little weird though.

Excellent quality! Beautiful!

I own a fair amount of knives. I started with some pretty cheap ones and as the time goes by, I am moving towards the upper scale.So now I own a few good kitchen knives: J.A. Henkels (some made in Germany and others made in China), some French made knives : Sabatier and Laguilole and also a wonderful MAC Japanese knife (my favorite).All of that to explain that I will be comparing the Dalstrong chef knife to them.Here is what I love about it:+ Beautiful. I love this wonderful mix of hammered pattern and Damascus waves. The picture does not show well enough how beautiful it is.+ Extremely sharp out of the box. That would be fairly close to razor sharp. It went through everything as butter.+ Quality of construction. Nothing rattles, no weakness visible. Full tang blade. Very nice handle.+ Grip. It is excellent. It is designed to be well handed.+ Weight. As compared to my MAC, for a Japanese kitchen knife, it is pretty heavy.+ Customer support. Dalstrong wants the experience to be as good as possible for their knives. So they offer a lifetime guarantee. They also make the opening of the box a very pleasant experience.What I do not like about it:- I do not know really if I should put it as a minus but the knowledge of the knife is made in China could diminish the impression of quality. I am sure that Dalstrong will disagree 100% with me on this as they have established the production line in a city famous for its metal work since 1500 years.Overall observations:The German made blades are usually on the heavy side while the Japanese blades are on the very light side. It can be unsettling for some to go from one to the next. Dalstrong knives are kind of a mix of both. It is using Japanese steel (VG10) and German type of manufacturing.This knife should be used for cutting/slicing vegetables and meats but not to cut bones or frozen products.It always has to be hand washed and should be kept in its sheath if you want to put it in a drawer.If you take a good care of it, it should last you a lifetime.Now, I a considering buying the same shogun serie steak knives...
