Reviews

Absolutely amazing! This thing

"Absolutely amazing! This thing is like a culinary scalpel! It is so sharp that when you chop vegetables with it the vegetables don't even lose their shape. People say knives that are sharp go through things like butter but this thing goes through vegetables as if they're not even on the cutting board. Very highly recommend treating yourself or blessing someone else with one."

SEAN M. (5/5)

This knife is great

"This knife is great had mine for over 3 years now, keeps a great edge. Durable its honestly the best knive i ever owned, i have owned my restaurant for 30 years, still cooking everyday. I have had many chefs knifes over the years, trust me you wont be sorry."

Chef G. (5/5)

Well packaged, comes with

"Well packaged, comes with a plastic sheath. Very sharp right out of the box. Comfortable handle without hot-spots, able to finely dice soft vegetables and also handle firm vegetables."

I’ve been a loyal

"I’ve been a loyal user of Dalstrong knives for over 15 years and have always been satisfied with their quality. However, this knife has been a major disappointment. It doesn’t hold its edge, and from the very first use, its performance was far below expectations. I’m not sure if it’s a manufacturing defect, but this is the first time I’ve had an issue like this with a Dalstrong product. Unfortunately, I’ll have to return it. He sido usuario de cuchillos Dalstrong por más de 15 años y siempre he estado satisfecho con su calidad. Sin embargo, este cuchillo ha sido una gran decepción. No mantiene el filo, y desde el primer uso noté un rendimiento muy por debajo de lo esperado. No sé si se trata de un defecto de fábrica, pero es la primera vez que me sucede algo así con un producto de esta marca. Lamentablemente, tendré que devolverlo. I’ve been a loyal Dalstrong customer for over 15 years and have always appreciated the quality of their knives. While the particular knife I originally received was disappointing—it didn’t hold its edge and underperformed from the start—I’m very pleased to say that Dalstrong’s customer service reached out promptly after my review. They addressed the issue professionally and offered a replacement knife, which has performed much better. I truly appreciate the way they stood behind their product and made things right. Great customer support makes all the difference!He sido un cliente leal de Dalstrong durante más de 15 años y siempre he apreciado la calidad de sus cuchillos. Aunque el cuchillo que recibí inicialmente fue una decepción —no mantenía el filo y su rendimiento fue deficiente desde el primer uso—, me complace decir que el servicio al cliente de Dalstrong se puso en contacto conmigo rápidamente después de mi reseña. Abordaron el problema de manera profesional y me ofrecieron un cuchillo de reemplazo, el cual ha funcionado mucho mejor. Realmente valoro que respaldaran su producto y resolvieran la situación. ¡Un excelente servicio al cliente marca la diferencia!"

Knife showed up last

"Knife showed up last night and I used it to prep some goose breasts for pastrami and then chopped a whole lot of veggies for a garden salad dinner. Performed great and stayed sharp. Everything seems to be high quality, and I'm excited to see it's longevity. My ownly somewhat negative comment is that the aestethic dimples added to the blade make cleaning harder than it should be."

Tanner (4/5)

Soy Chef de profesión

"Soy Chef de profesión aficionado a los cuchillos pues para mí son el comienzo de cualquier trabajo que tenga que realizar poseo casi toda la serie de Zwilling Twin Signature son magníficos cuchillos los quiero mucho pero este cuchillo de la serie Dalstrong Shogun me ha encantado es magnífico también está como para dejarlo en una repisa de adorno muy bonito a cabalidad ,afilado al extremo hoy lo utilizo estoy deseoso gracias"

I use Wusthof knives

"I use Wusthof knives at the house and cook all the time. This knife is extremely sharp and pretty high end for the price. Its well balanced in the hand and the hammer marks really do help food release off the blade."

Amber C. (5/5)

Usually don’t write reviews

"Usually don’t write reviews about things but this one I felt like it needed it! This is the best knife I’ve ever used. It’s super sharp and so easy to handle! Worth the price."

Amazon C. (5/5)

Ive owned everything from

"I've owned everything from Victorinox Fibrox to Shuns, and I have a keen interest in metallurgy. Initially, I planned to buy a MagnaCut chef's knife, but after seeing unsponsored endorsements for Dalstrong from Prudent Reviews and a few trusted food channels, I decided to give it a look. First, believe them when they say this knife is razor-sharp out of the box—it truly is. After unpacking and washing it, I tested it by dicing an onion using the standard method (halving it, then making horizontal and vertical cuts). The Shogun passed effortlessly, producing a fine dice (around 3mm) with zero resistance. The only downside? A nick on my middle finger. The blade was so sharp I didn’t even notice until it hit my fingernail. That’s sharp. The handle is substantial yet comfortable, with rounded chamfers that prevent pressure points in a pinch grip. Some have noted the Shogun feels heavy; compared to a thin, stamped blade, it certainly is. However, the balance is excellent, and the heft aids in cutting dense foods without compromising agility. I’ve only had the knife for a day, so I haven't put it through its full paces yet, but so far, it feels just as nimble and well-designed as my beloved Shun chef’s knife—at less than half the price. I opted for the red-handled Shogun, which was $10 cheaper than the black, plus a 25% manufacturer’s coupon, bringing my total cost to $106, including tax. I doubt you’ll find a better value at this price. As much as I love my Shuns, the Shogun is the new star of my kitchen."
