Reviews

I love this. Cant

"I love this. Can't wait to use it! Very nice and light. Beautiful presentation. And I love the little Dalstrong pin that came with it."

Emma S. (5/5)

The Starburst design on

"The Starburst design on the blade is stunning, and the blade performs incredibly well. The handle of this series was my biggest concern. I was worried that I won't have any retention in my hand. Well this is a series that practically makes you use a pinch grip. It's a shame that this series is on its way out because these are an exploration of Quantum mechanics."

Brad B. (5/5)

I really like this

"I really like this series. When I saw this one, I just had to have it. Feels great in my hand and no issues with cutting anything. Razor sharp as all my Dalstrong knives have been. I'm glad I got it."

Quantum S. (5/5)

This knife is incredibly

"This knife is incredibly sharp and should be handled with care. It is top notch quality and is a beautiful knife to have in your kitchen. It has a balanced feel and is for heavy use."

Miss K. (5/5)

Very cool knife, it

"Very cool knife, it is comfortable to hold. It has good weight to it and it is way to balance in the hand. The sharpness is awesome, cuts through meat and bone very well."

Abby (5/5)

I have used several

"I have used several knives before and have to say, out of the box this is the sharpest knife I have ever used. The packaging was great, and give this tool a wonderful unwrapping experience, or, if you want to give this knife to someone as a gift it a great choice. Pros:It's very well balancedIt's a leather sheath, so not some cheap plastic material keeping the blade safeIt has excellent instructions on how to keep this knife in top performanceIT's scarry sharp out of the boxCool piece of swag, a small pin with the vendors branding, a lion head. ConsI'm not a fan of the handle, it just doesn't appeal to meIt's a little expensive, but I have to say it's worth it."

UpstateGuy (5/5)

The box contained 1

"The box contained 1 - Dalstrong 8"" cutting knife, a thick leather sheath, a sticker, a company emblem pin and instructions. I like the knife blade is not heavy and is well balanced between the blade and handle. The handle fit my medium sized male hand and felt very comfortable in my hand, even after cutting for a while. I dig the carbon fiber handle. The blade is exceptionally sharp. I was able to easily shave paper thin slices of celery, then carve harder & thicker vegetables. I liked the curved blade design which was easy to rock back and forth to quickly cut. I like the full tang and flexibility of the blade which bent a little if needed. The blade is thinner than meat cleaver blades I am used too. I did not try to chop through thick meat/bone but feel the blade thickness will not stand up to that. But it is very sharp for slicing. I believe the price to be high. I am satisfied with this product."

Spencer B. (4/5)

Statement piece in the

"Statement piece in the kitchen. Amazingly sharp out of the box. Awesome presentation for a gift and super useful in the kitchen."

James H. (5/5)

First of all: this

"First of all: this knife is unbelievably sharp out of the box. Like scalpel sharp. Handle this with care until you are used to using it because its very easy to cut yourself with this knife just handling it. This is an incredible product that comes with a bunch of accessories all packaged in a presentation box. This is a PERFECT holiday gift. It even comes with a beautiful well-made sheath and some stickers and pins. Super cool. This is a very well constructed knife that will last a life time with appropriate care. Its perfect for producing the absolute thinnest cuts of meat imaginable. It is considered a hybrid chefs knife/cleaver so its appropriate for vegetables as well. Its a very versatile design. This knife does take specialized care and sharpening, its important to read through the booklet that comes with it to find out how best to care for it. That being said, I absolutely adore this knife, It is by far the highest quality kitchen knife I have ever owned."

Angela (5/5)

I would like this

"I would like this knife better if it came with less STUFF. I don't need the gift box, full color certificates, metal pin, polishing cloths, etc. When I get this much extra frou frou with a knife I worry they spent all their money on that, and not on the blade. But this knife is big and fun to cook with. (The menfolk think it looks very cool. ) It arrives sharp. Very sharp, so be careful. While I don't think it would stand up to professional cooking, I used it for slicing, dicing and chopping a couple of meals and found it well balanced and easy to work with despite its size. Don't get me wrong, this is not the correct knife for the above. This is more for serious chopping and butchering, but as a home chef I don't do much of that. I enjoyed using it, nevertheless."
