"Excelente me encanta muy buen cuchillo y Excelente corte lo recomiendo 👍"

— CIRIACO (5/5)

My 11 year old throughly

"My 11 year old throughly enjoys this knife. It’s a knife that she will grow into. It’s got some pretty light weight."

— Zachary E. (5/5)

"The knife is really light and amazing quality. Really happy with my purchase"

— David (5/5)

It is a wedding gift.

"It is a wedding gift. I have not use this one. I have the Joker chef knife and love it."

— Garrett S. (5/5)

I started a knife

"I started a knife sharpening business and purchased several knives to loan to chefs while I'm sharpening theirs. After studying many edges and steels, I have come to recognize Dalstrong knives as being the best for the money in whichever series you choose. Although I do sharpen them to different edge angles, Dalstrong actually does sharpen their knives with intelligence and effort. The steels they use are almost certainly what they say they are, and they perform much better and longer than their competition. I see Dalstrong as a trustworthy company. I have given perhaps a dozen knives to professional chefs, and they all rave about them. Buy yourself a good knife, and buy it from Dalstrong, you'll be glad you did."

— David P. (5/5)

These are one of

"These are one of the best manufactured knives and tools in the world."

— Shivam D. (5/5)

I originally bought this

"I originally bought this knife for one of my line cooks but after using his knife for a few days I will be buying one for myself. very light weight it's one of the knife in kitchen everyone is talking about"

— Neoma E. (5/5)

The knife arrived quickly

"The knife arrived quickly as dalstrong shipping is very expedient. But I didn't care for the knife it had a blemish on the spine of the blade. Also the handle was egg shaped which me personally don't care for. So I sent some pictures and an email to dalstrong customer service and they refunded me my money. The knife was however razor sharp and had a great weight to it I'm sure someone else would love this knife as a workhorse in the kitchen. I love dalstrong their customer service is next to none. I currently own 15 of their knives right now and I will continue to buy them despite this minor problem."

— Daniel C. (5/5)

Excellent

"Excellent"

— Robert S. (5/5)

Its decent. After opening,

"It's decent. After opening, I began to really examine my knife. There's a good number of machining marks, there was a bur on the integral bolster. Being right handed I found the spins edges were too sharp when having to choke up on the handle. For 60. 00 reg price 100? Could use a better refining. It's not hand sharpened, it was given an edge on a disk sander. You can literally see the distinct circular pattern. Be mindful. Granted these aren't even the better quality knives. Better than anything you will likely find short of a specialty shop or order on line"

— John (4/5)
