Hammered Tsuchime Finish

Less friction, cleaner work. The Tsuchime hammered finish draws every eye, but it’s about more than beauty. It creates air pockets, helping reduce surface contact with food. The result is reduced drag while you cut, and faster release of food from blade.

Reviews

Shogun - Slicing & Carving Knife - 12"

"Another fine product from Dalstrong. As my hand is not small, My only preference would be that the handle be a little thicker, so it would fit more firmly in my grip. But, that has not stopped me from enjoying it in my tool set."

— John K. (4/5)

Love this knife!

"This knife cuts ribs, hams and roast like butter. Every time after using it I kind of hate putting it away, wishing I would have grilled more."

— Clement C. (4/5)

Perfect, only thing I

"Perfect, only thing I wish it had a leather sheath."

— Elisa G. (5/5)

"Great"

— Idk I. (5/5)

I recently bought a

"I recently bought a pellet grill and needed serious butcher tools. This knife answers all the needs I may have in the future with my BBQ. Has good weight in the hand and easily slices through any meat."

— Tara W. (5/5)

Love this knife excellent

"Love this knife excellent for carving!"

— Mylo R. (5/5)

It’s a damn fine

"It’s a damn fine knife, happy I bought it…. But it dose have a smaller handle. I mean I got decent sized hands but this handle is tiny, it dose not encourage me to buy more from this company in the future. Zwilling and Wusthof have big nice easy to hold handles. But that’s just my opinion, the Damascus on this knife is beautiful and the handle is very beautiful and tightly bout together and I am very happy that I own this specific knife. If the handle was an inch longer and a little fatter it would be an easy 5 star."

— Thomas (4/5)

These knives are lacking

"These knives are lacking in showing a true Damascus finish. I don't know how the make their pictures, but I can tell you you're almost guaranteed to have a very faint Damascus finish on your knife. I have three Shoguns now, none of them look as good as the pictures. Still, I like the handles, very comfortable."

— RickyJ (4/5)

I was like a

"I was like a “68 yr old kid” in a candy store, but I bought a 7” filet knife last year and the big boy knife a few months ago, The 14” Annihilator Gladiator, Series R and a high Carbon 7 CR17 MOV Steel, is in a class of its own. Who ever got the credit for bringing this monster to the life it will dominate any competitor out in the worlds showcase of knives."

— David B. (5/5)

Im actually kinda pissed

"I'm actually kinda pissed at Dalstrong, this knife is such a masterpiece I have no other option then to start collecting more from the Shigun series. Beautiful, balanced, and scalpel sharp. Slices effortlessly thru meat."

— Chic (5/5)
