Dalstrong Supports Excellence in our Community
Wounded Warrior Project
Every warrior has a next mission. We know that the transition to civilian life is a journey. And for every warrior, family member, and caregiver, that journey looks different.
The Wounded Warrior Project provides a variety of veteran programs and services to help veterans take the steps that are right for their future.
Dalstrong proudly supports the Wounded Warrior Project, and Wounded Warrior Project Canada as a Corporate Champion. Purchases of the Delta Wolf Series support these organizations.
Vets Rolling Thunder
Rolling Thunder is a United States advocacy group that seeks to bring full accountability for prisoners of war (POWs) and missing in action (MIA) service members of all U.S. wars.
Firefighters
Nobody can take the heat like firefighters, and we respect that. And since Dalstrong is big in the BBQ community (and we all love to play with flame throwers) we really, really appreciate everything firefighters do to keep us safe.
On International Firefighters’ Day 2022 Dalstrong surprised over 100 firehouses in America with cookware. Firefighters work long hours and do a lot of their own cooking, so Dalstrong wanted to make sure their kitchens were as kitted out as their trucks. It’s important to stay fueled and ready to leap into action.
“After years of firehouse cooking with whatever we could scrounge, this cookware is a sheer joy to use! This is the kind of stuff you hand down to your kids. Absolutely heirloom quality pieces.”
— Captain Dave Angelo, BCoFD, retired.
Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Women have inspired us to care for our families, to build up our communities, to be kinder, stronger, wiser, and better. Working in the culinary industry, Dalstrong hears countless stories of strong female heroes. Chefs have told us their first forays into cooking were inspired by a mother or grandmother, and that no meal can beat mom’s home cooking.
But every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Dalstrong is on a mission to change the statistics and improve outcomes as best we can.
This year, $24 from each Frost Fire Series 8” Chef Knife Breast Cancer Awareness Edition will go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The BCRF is the highest-rated breast cancer research organization in the country, and their investigators have been deeply involved in every major breakthrough in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
Dalstrong is proud to support this vital research. We believe there are no limits to what we can achieve when we give the best minds in science the opportunity to pursue their most innovative ideas.
C-CAP
How many among us started out with a job in a restaurant? From washing dishes, to bussing tables, to prepping food on the line, restaurants have been a gateway to the workforce for millions of North Americans. Those first jobs taught us efficiency, team work, and diligence. The kitchen is where we learned to stay cool, even when the heat is on. It’s where we grew up and became providers. And now, Dalstrong is given back some of what we gained along the way.
The Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) is a workforce development nonprofit that provides underserved teens a pathway to success.
Annually, C-CAP provides culinary, job and life skills to over 20,000 middle-and-high school students in seven regions across the United States: New York City, Newark, Philadelphia and Camden, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC/Maryland/Northern Virginia and Arizona, including 7 Navajo Reservation schools.
Dalstrong donates knives, cookware, and other culinary tools to C-CAP to support this next generation of fierce culinary leaders.
Pine Street Inn
A lot of new starts and second chances begin in a kitchen. Every fresh start needs fuel. The Pine Street Inn has championed these fundamental truths for over 50 years. They have been providing food, shelter, and services to help people find homes and careers since 1969, and Dalstrong is proud to contribute to their efforts.
Pine Street partners with homeless individuals to help them move from the streets and shelter to a home, and assists formerly homeless individuals in retaining housing. They provide street outreach, emergency services, supportive housing, job training and connections to employment.
Food and cooking has always been about providing for those around us. Dalstrong recognizes the importance of bringing people together and fueling them for success. Dalstrong has donated culinary tools to support the kitchens that fuel this work and the people who rely on it.
NASCAR
Sponsoring a racer, athlete, and sportsman like Jeffrey is such an honor. He shows the drive and dedication that Dalstrong demands in every aspect of our business. Jeffrey is inspired by the same high-octane warrior spirit of teamwork in pursuit of victory. Those who look to the past with respect, honor the traditions that brought us here, and build on that foundation to drive progress forward. He comes from a proud heritage of racing excellence and continues to push the pace and define his own legacy. Like Dalstrong, he honors our modern day warriors and is committed to furthering his community and his craft.
Dalstrong is fueled by an unrelenting, laser-focused energy, driven to make its mark in the culinary world, never finished growing, optimizing, and pushing the boundaries on design and function. Jeffrey embodies that spirit. There are no limits to what he can achieve.
From knife block sets to steak knife sets and everything in between. There’s tons of factors to consider when it comes to deciding on a kitchen knife set. Even those who are already knee-deep in the world of knives can find it overwhelming, so for the uninitiated it can be absolutely daunting.
The chef’s knife is the most versatile and useful knife in your knife set. It is the one you will grab most often, the one you use for chopping, slicing, dicing and everything in between, and it’s the one you may even want to have two of.
Learn everything you need to know about the best knife sharpeners on the market. When was the last time you sharpened your kitchen knife? If the answer is “gee, I really can’t remember, it was so long ago,” your reputation as a chef might be in danger.
