I am so happy with

"I am so happy with my Dalstrong knives - especially the Valhalls series. They are beautiful, hold a great edge and fit well in hand. Highly recommend. Waiting for a bread knife in this series!"

Joshua N. (5/5)

I have been an

"I have been an avid collector of the Valhalla series. All of them have been the original Blue/green color handles, so I was a little hesitant to order a Ravenstone 8”chef knife. I’m glad I did. It’s a beautiful piece. Amazingly sharp right out of the package and has held its edge for a while now with continual use. I’ve always said my Valhalla Nikiri was my go to for my everyday prep, but since getting this blade I find myself grabbing it more often than not. Another great knife by Dalstrong!"

Aaron B. (5/5)

A beautiful knife that

"A beautiful knife that is absolutely perfect for everyday kitchen use, and to be honest I think it fits just fine in any type of kitchen setting whether that be a food truck or fine dining restaurants this knife is a workhorse and I really enjoy using It. In particular, I like the elongated tip that has a nice curvature to it, that in particular is a reason I ordered a couple of these just a personal preference I suppose."

"So happy with the look and style of the knife, but I would not recommend for restaurant work. The handle is beautiful but slick and the grip is not that great if you’re using it long hours a day. At home use only!"

Richard T. (4/5)

Ive used this for

"I've used this for 2 and a bit years, perfect but be careful with epoxy handles. Mines was starting to serperate and eventuallycracked. Not a problem for me as I swapped for a deer antler handle just recently. So it's still going strong though, helps with my wrist problems I've got."
