Reviews

Love it! Sharp, Its

"Love it! Sharp, It's a little tricky to sharpen due to type of metal and the proper angle required but a good quality whetstone and my years of experience with sharpening knives works in my favor. Make sure you keep it in the case and hand wash. Never put it in the dishwasher or throw it in the sink if you want it to keep it's edge long term."

Bought as a gift

"Bought as a gift for a friend, who is an avid cook. He said it was the best knife he has ever used."

D. Q. (5/5)

Hay que decir que

"Hay que decir que todos los productos de Dalstrong son como se ven en la foto, no tienen detalles ni imperfecciones, todos los bordes son lisos y entre más te acercas a ver el cuchillo más te das cuenta que todas las geometrías, bordes y formas son impecables. El cuchillo es pesado, filoso, tiene un excelente agarre y me gustó mucho el detalles de que te regalan calcomanías. Para la carne Asada es el mejor compañero porque sirve para rebanar, servir y voltear. La razón de poner 4 estrellas es que NO ES DAMASCO, es un excelente acero pobremente grabado con láser y si así fuera descrito igual lo hubiera comprado con gusto y colocado las 5 estrellas."

Antonio J. (4/5)

This was purchased as

"This was purchased as a gift for my husband. We buy our meat in bulk & break it down ourselves. This knife works well for trimming fat & cutting up large roasts, pork tenderloins, chicken and more. I highly recommend purchasing this if you want to save money by butchering your own meat, buy one. You won't be disappointed!"

Melanie (5/5)

The knife is beautiful!

"The knife is beautiful! I will say if you are looking for a blade with highly visible Damascus patterns that this might not be it. I personally like the mirror finish with underlying patterns that can be seen at different angles. Sharp right out of the box and minimal honing needed to keep it straight. My only issue is with the sheath/case. The pin that keeps the knife in place pops out easily, as it's just plastic on plastic. Something that clicks in place or a small rubber ring might have solved that issue. Just make sure you never hold the knife upside down. Though it is a custom (loose) fit, it would've been good to see options for a leather sheath or something nicer like you see in some of the other Dalstrong series. Overall, it's a knife I enjoy showing off to my culinary enthusiast buddies, and it's a joy to use every time."
