The Last Knife You'll Ever Need

UPDATE:This knife has withstood the test of time. I bought this knife in 2016 and it is still a daily workhorse in my kitchen. I only wish I had more Dalstrong knives. The Shogun series looks amazing. Would do anything to own a set but the knives are getting pricey - understandably so though. They are very well made. Stop looking. You can’t go wrong with Dalstrong! Hey look I made a rhyme! You’re welcome.The Dalstrong Gladiator chef knife cuts as good as it looks. If you are looking to upgrade your knife for a true kitchen workhorse, look no further.Here is a brief summary of my review. For more information and to see what this knife can truly do, check out my video review and pictures.LIKE:- Light as a feather, yet its sharpness allows for it to power through the toughest root vegetables with ease- Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue- Tall blade for ample knuckle clearance- Solid construction - full tang, triple riveted. Designed for durability- Better than my CutCo and Henckel Pro knives!- Amazing customer service! Dalstrong truly puts its customers first. Dalstrong's President took the time to personally answer my questions about the product. Try contacting Henckel or Cutco's customer support via email; I assure you their first response will not be from their President!DON'T LIKE:- Not stainless so if you buy this knife, take good care of it and it will take care of you.I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed making it. If so, please let me know!-ReviewGuru

The first good knife I've owned

I'm not a knife expert by any stretch... Every knife I've owned before this is just a cheap kitchen knife I found at a random store for like $30-$50. Those knives weren't very sharp to begin with but quickly dulled to being pretty dangerous to even use. I was struggling to prep dinner and it just wasn't good.So I bought this knife and wow is it nice and sharp. Holding it is like Schroedinger's Blade. On the one hand it feels extremely dangerous to even hold because one false move and I'm slicing my hand open or my finger off... but on the other hand (the one not being sliced), it feels very solid and very balanced and it cuts things so effortlessly that it makes food prep WAY safer.Before I was having to really put pressure down to even cut an onion, now I'm gently sliding the blade right through everything like butter. So in terms of how effective this knife is... I'd say 100%.It feels great to hold. It has good weight to it. You can feel the quality just from holding it. Super easy to clean as well.My only concern with getting a fancy knife like this was maintenance... I have zero knowledge of keeping a knife sharp, or proper knife care, or anything... So I sort of "winged it" by getting a little simple knife sharpener off amazon that you just run the blade through a few times. I've used it a handful of times on the knife so far but honestly it didn't even need it. The blade is still sharp a couple months later of daily use.This is a no muss, no fuss, sharp as a razor knife that gets the job done. I'm super happy with it and glad I finally spent a bit more money on a quality kitchen knife. It makes chopping stuff fun.

Amazing "Old School" style customer service!

We bought this knife in February 2017 and it has been great! I noticed an issue in the blade in October 2017. I emailed the customer service for Dalstrong on a Friday explaining what the issue was, I was contacted that following Monday. I sent a picture of the flaw as well as the purchase order as requested. They told me that they apologize and this is a very uncommon issue and they would send a replacement. I received that replacement in less than a week, I opened and inspected it and it is flawless. This is an OUTSTANDING company that will stand behind their product! I recommend to anyone reading these reviews contemplating a purchase to buy it! The price is unbeatable, the quality is stellar and the customer service is unmatched. You will be happy with your purchase wether you're a professional chef or a home kitchen hobbyist. It feels great in the hand, the edge is beautiful and it hones perfectly. I only hand wash and store in included sheath, every other week or so I wipe down with mineral/cutting board oil and I steel hone before and after every use. Every so many uses I pass it through a ceramic hand sharpener and hone with the steel rod. It has maintained an amazing edge. I only wish they were actually manufactored in the US. Its a US company using German or Japanese steel (depending which line you buy) but made in China. Even though they're made in China they seem to have an immense quality control system that works and they stand buy it. Dalstrong is the only knives I will but from now on.

Perfection in cutlery.

Absolute high quality knives. Extremely well made. I really like all the different series that are offered as well as other kitchen tools and items. They have some very unique items and one of a kind.I got some of the gladiator series for my oldest son and the show gun series for my youngest son for Christmas. I even got a couple for myself. These knives will last a lifetime and beyond if they are taken care of.I'm a very happy and will be a life long customer. Many more items I will be ordering in the future.
