Reviews

Best Birthday Gift Ever

"I purchased this knife as a gift for my husbands birthday. He loves every opportunity he has to use it. It slices perfectly."

Denise S. (5/5)

Beautiful!

"Beautiful!"

Brendon S. (5/5)

I was a bit

"I was a bit worried as this knife was quite expensive but most of all I just wanted it to work as advertised. It did not disappoint. This is the top-of-the-line knife that allows me to cut through different types of meat with complete ease."

Trena T. (5/5)

I bought this for

"I bought this for my husband after he started getting into charcoal smoking. Our Wüsthof chefs knife wasn’t cutting it (haha) for brisket. While I was waiting on this to arrive, I bought a pit boss knife to take to a get-together. It worked in a pinch, but holy moly when the Dalstrong knife showed up, we realized that the cheap knife we had was basically like cutting with a kids fiskars pair of scissors. We love this knife from brisket to bacon, and we’ll be back for more knives."

Katiejeangranger (5/5)

Cuts like butter and

"Cuts like butter and so easy to handle. I plan to add other knives from the collection!"

Keith C. (5/5)

Great everyday slicer

"Great everyday slicer"

Larry (5/5)

I haven’t used this

"I haven’t used this knife yet, but already know I’ll need to sharpen it. I gave it the paper test and it failed miserably. Seems to be good quality. With as little as I’ll be using it, it should last my lifetime. Packaging was great."

Thomas B. (4/5)

Works great great for

"Works great great for cutting"

Justin H. (5/5)

Bought this awhile back

"Bought this awhile back to use for cutting frozen roasts for jerky and I was worried about how well it would hold up to the frozen meat constantly and how thin I would be able to get it but I am loving using it. It has stayed very sharp despite using it regularly for about a year."

Brandon P. (4/5)

Good quality

"Good quality"
