    I was really impressed

    "I was really impressed with how sharp this knife came! Also, how well balanced it is. For a fairly large knife, (8"" blade) I had planned on mostly using it for butchering, but it works very well for meal prep too. With the excellent quality sheath, that's provided, I'm planning on putting this knife in my hunting gear. So far I'm extremely pleased . And this thing is a beauty!"

    CHRISTOPHER F. (5/5)

    This is a nice

    "This is a nice knife for the most part. I bought it for work and I am a professional Chef. It's sharp and well made. My issue is. Well there are two very annoying issues. When I am slicing anything, my knuckle hit the cutting board before the heel of the knife does. So, there is a pretty good size void that is annoying. The second issue is pretty dangerous. Being a chef I go through a lot, I mean A LOT of butter. The way the tip of this blade is made, my hand just slips right off of the blade when I am cutting butter. Like a slide. Right down the slope and right down to the very sharp tip. Even with a towel my hand slides to the tip and my fingers under the blade. I took it to work once, never again, just not practical for a professional kitchen. Looks cool and I got a lot of compliments and looks. Definitely stands out, just sucks at basic tasks that I really NEED to have trust in my knife to be safe. For a great professional chef knife, to be honest, stick with the Gladiator series. I have a Gladiator chef knife and it's perfect. I just wanted something more flashy and to match my Centurion Cleaver ( which I LOVE 💗 great cleaver!!!!)"

    Daryl C. (3/5)

    I dont own this

    "I don't own this knife. Why are you asking me to review this?"

    Gary Y. (5/5)

    Probably my favorite knife

    "Probably my favorite knife in the kitchen. The handle is really comfortable and the balance feels great. Nice for slicing and overall prep as a chef knife and cutting tonkatsu. The only drawback is it's height due to the design, but I partly bought it for appearance; if you're slicing thin delicate strips, it's more difficult to get a finger over it to secure the other side of the meat and pull through, so it's not practical for smaller hands so my wife never uses it. I don't use it for heavy chopping but I'm sure it could handle lighter tasks in that area, i just prefer to preserve the edge since I have a cleaver."

    Awesome K. (5/5)

    This whole Centurion series

    "This whole Centurion series is a work of art. The Crixus being my favorite. Perfect balance between chopping, cutting and slicing. The shape of the handle, and the balance of this knife, feels so natural. . . almost like a EXTREMELY sharp extension of my hand. The quality appears to be something that will last. Between the Swedish steel and 58 hardness, I expect it to hold an edge quite well. If I could only have one knife, this chef's knife/cleaver would be it."

    James L. (5/5)

    The centurion series I

    "The centurion series I feel is a very underrated series with many others being pushed. I have the butcher/breaking knife, the cleaver, and now the Crixus. I am most impressed with the feel of the handle and quality of the knives with the centurion series. My one issue with this one is I felt the edge could have been sharper out of the box. It may be thought that I am used to a Japanese style of quick chopping and this blade is much more suited to the German rocking motion. It did cut better when I adjusted my cutting motion. But the edge I can adjust and fix to how I like it anyway. Easy enough. Thank you Dalstrong for a such a wide variety of quality knives to choose from."
