Definitely ready to take on some sashimi or any other slicing duty you may need.Quality was excellent and no imperfections or scratches on the blade or handle.Excellent value for the money when on sale.Cons: None so far, hopefully stays that way after feedback!

Love this knife

Been using this knife every chance I get. It's half the thickness of the box store knives I once used. Not anymore! The edge on this knife scares the spouse enough that she fears damaging it. The edge on any blades of this series will have no problem skinning the skin twice of a fillet that your old knife tried to do.Only problem in life you'll have is wondering who can sharpen this knife back to the edge it once had. I've had a week and it's cut veggies, it's cut meat, it's even hit a bone or two and still as sharp as the day it came from the box.Oh lets speak of the box! it fits so nice in it's box you may not want to take it out! The sheaths are so simple yet so perfect for the blade you may not want to leave them out of them.Now lets talk about then PIN that's included in the box... Since I bought two knives I stuck one pin on my social hat and stripped the pin off the other so I could add a magnet to it to stick to any surface in the kitchen. The pins are of a nice design for sure.Add it all up, you get a great knife, great look, and tokens to show as well.Enjoy your new blade, I know I will.

High quality for the price.

I am an Executive Chef with over twenty years in professional kitchen experience. I have knives for every application. I have my prized Shuns, Globals, and Myabis. However not every kitchen worker can afford such knives, or if they do, want to subject them to the arduous requirements of restaurant work. Or maybe even trust to have higher quality blades at work exposed to other employees. So I always look for quality brands that fit right in between. I bought the Dalstrong Kiritsuke black series for this exact purpose. I am left handed and I prefer Japanese finer edged knives for my current restaurant. A traditional Kiritsuke knive is designed to be able to do everything in the kitchen by a skilled hand. They are typically reserved for the head chef. Thus no safety features like a guard. It is well balanced and very sharp, slightly longer than a traditional chefs knife (for slicing fish, sushi etc.) But also with enough depth and a slight curve for vegetables and cooked meats. It came in very nice packaging that would be great as a gift. It also came with a cool pin button and sheath. I have used it for over a month, daily, and just barely had to hone it. It is black and I have read posts of the black scraping off from honing. If you are careful and only hone the true edge of the blade this will not happen. The resin handle is a great fit for a medium sized hand and ambidextrous. I am left handed and it is hard to find comfortable knives. I "choke up" on my grip and it seems this knife was built for that in mind. It is sleek and sexy and affordable. My cooks love it and I don't worry if I hand it to them to use on the fly. If they drop it, it won't cost them alot to replace it. I plan to buy more of these and hand them to my workers as promotional symbols and gratitude items. The metal is lightweight almost hollow feeling, which is indicative of a knife that is not hard enough to hold its edge long. But it has surprisingly held up well to some aggressive applications so far. Far better than your victorinox, henkle and other mid range brands.

this knife started something

This was the first Dalstrong knife I purchased: there now sit some 3 dozen+ Shadow Black, 5 Night Shark, and 1 Gladiator series pieces in my kitchen. Roughly three thousand US dollars with no hint of buyer's remorse.All but one of them have earned and received 4 or 5 stars from me, this Kiritsuke being no different.Across the board: every blade has been exceptionally sharp, straight, and consistently good quality. The handle, although odd and different, are surprisingly ergonomic. The kydex sheath fits snuggly and stays secure-ish.Until today i had zero reservations spending my own hard-earned money on &/or recommending this brand to family & friends. Today I'll still speak on the overall quality but my most recent purchase, the meat fork from this very serious, won't have me rushing to spend or referring others this way. Truly a shame how far Dalstrong's quality has recently fallen because this and so many other pieces I've received over the years were phenomenal.

One of my favs.

As a fine dining cook, this is my go to. The handle looks awkward, but is incredibly ergonomic. Its light weight is offset by a razor sharp edge, which is very easy to recover. Pretty sure Moses used a Dalstrong staff to part the Red Sea. It could split atoms.
