What is American S35VN Powered Steel?

American S35VN Powdered Steel is an elite-grade steel renowned for its superior purity, sharpness, and edge retention. Produced through an advanced powdered metallurgy process, S35VN steel contains significantly fewer impurities, allowing for incredible sharpness and smooth slicing. With a high carbon content (1.4%) and a hardness rating of 60+ HRC, it achieves an incredibly sharp edge that stays sharper for longer, making it ideal for professional chefs who demand peak performance.

What is LionArmor™ coating and what are the benefits?

LionArmor™ is Dalstrong’s proprietary Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that enhances the blade's surface hardness to an unprecedented 100+ HRC, making it immune to rust and corrosion unlike other high-carbon blades. This microns-thin layer is applied through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), creating an ultra-smooth, low-friction surface that glides through food effortlessly. Beyond its slicing performance, LionArmor™ provides exceptional durability, protecting the blade against corrosion, wear, and extreme temperatures.

What is a Laser Blade?

A Laser Blade refers to the knife's ultra-thin geometry, engineered for precision slicing. The Spartan Ghost Series features a spine thickness of just 1.6mm, combined with a high-precision flat grind technique. This design reduces drag, allowing for wafer-thin, delicate cuts with minimal effort. It’s like having a scalpel in your kitchen, optimized for culinary use.

What material is the handle?

The Spartan Ghost Series features a Japanese-inspired D-shaped handle, crafted from a unique blend of ash wood and resin. This combination offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip that aligns perfectly with the natural curve of your hand, reducing fatigue during long prep sessions. Each handle is one of a kind, with a distinct resin pattern for a personalized touch.

How sharp are the knives out of the box, and how easy are they to maintain?

Every Spartan Ghost knife is sharpened to an extraordinary 9-11° edge using Dalstrong’s advanced D3™ sharpening process. This ensures scalpel-like sharpness straight out of the box. Thanks to the high carbon content of S35VN steel and the protective LionArmor™ coating, the edge retains its sharpness for extended periods. Regular honing and occasional sharpening with a quality whetstone will keep your knife performing at its peak.

How should I care for and maintain the Spartan Ghost knife?

For optimal performance and longevity, hand wash your knife with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly before storing it in its genuine leather sheath. Avoid soaking the knife or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause unnecessary wear. Proper storage and routine maintenance will keep your Spartan Ghost razor-sharp for years to come.

What is Dalstrong D3™ sharpening? 

Dalstrong D3™ (Diamond Detailing) sharpening is an advanced process that meticulously grinds, polishes, and hones each blade to achieve extreme sharpness. Combining modern technology with traditional Japanese Honbazuke techniques, this multi-stage process creates a durable, razor-sharp convex edge that withstands daily professional use.

What is Dalstrong LionShield™ treatment?

Dalstrong’s LionShield™ treatment is a thermal and cryogenic process that enhances the blade's resilience. This advanced treatment improves hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention by refining the steel’s microstructure. The result is a blade that performs exceptionally well under rigorous conditions.

Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?

Yes, every Spartan Ghost knife comes with a genuine leather sheath designed to protect the blade during storage and transport. The sheath provides a snug, secure fit, ensuring your knife stays safe when not in use.

What warranties or guarantees do I have?

Dalstrong offers a 70-day 100% money-back guarantee—the longest in the industry. If you’re not completely satisfied, you can return your knife for a full refund. Additionally, every Spartan Ghost knife comes with a lifetime warranty against defects, ensuring your investment is protected for life.
