The Sharpest Knife We've Ever Made

This isn’t “just another chef’s knife.” It’s a knife that defies the belief that a chef can’t have surgical precision, laser sharpness, and endurance in one tool. It wasn’t made for everyone, but for those who demand the best.

1. So Sharp, It Falls Through Foods

American S35VN steel. 1.6mm thickness. 9-11° per side edge grind. 

The Spartan Ghost Series is the sharpest blade Dalstrong has ever created. If you think you’ve experienced a sharp knife… think again. You’ve never felt anything like this before. 

The blade moves through food like it’s moving through air.

2. Made From Elite Steel 

American S35VN Powdered Steel. It blows even good steels away. 

Made from powdered metal particles, sintered into one rock solid piece with extremely high, densely-packed carbon levels.  

Leading to a level of sharpness, edge retention, and durability that’s never been seen before.

3. Zero Rust, Zero Let Downs 

High-carbon blades are amazing for sharpness and edge retention. But they rust and grow brittle. 

This is where the Spartan Ghost Series is in a league of its own:

LionArmor™ Diamond-Like Carbon Coating: The next great leap forward in blade enhancement. 

It completely proofs the blade against rust and fragility. It makes the impossible possible.

But there’s even more to that LionArmor™  DLC Coating…

4. Feels Like a Laser in Your Hand

LionArmor™ also creates a blade surface so smooth, it passes through food with minimal effort. No resistance, no friction, no drag. 

At just 8oz, it’s light as a feather. An extension of your hand that cuts with the lightest pressure and responds to the deftest movement.   

The ash wood and resin handle, crafted in the traditional Japanese D-Shape, sits perfectly in the contours of your grip. Like it was custom made for you.

5. You’ll Know It’s Worth It the Moment You Use It

This is a “first cut” kind of knife. The kind of blade that makes people stop mid-slice and say: “Holy sh*t.”


The moment you use it, you’ll get it.

6. Built in Small Batches. Because Quality Takes Time.

There’s no fast way to engineer a knife like this. Every small batch takes at least 90 days. Meticulously sharpened, inspected and tested at 18 different stages. 

Then they sell out fast. 

And the wait list starts again.

7. Trusted By The Best & Busiest Chefs

“Our restaurant does 250-400 covers a day. I’ve used Wusthof, Shun, Global, Zwilling Kramer, but this is the knife. So sharp even compared to Japanese technical knives. I’ll sharpen any other knife 5 times before I hone this on 5k grit out of boredom.”
