Is The Night Shark Series an outdoor knife series?

The Night Shark Series is purpose-built for adventurers, butchers, hunters, fishermen, and anyone who works in demanding environments. Engineered to excel in both outdoor and professional settings, these knives feature rugged, non-slip Shark Skin™ handles and titanium-coated blades designed to withstand the harshest conditions.

What steel is this knife made from?

The Night Shark Series is crafted from 7CR17MOV stainless steel, known for its rugged durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. This tough steel sharpens to a razor edge, holds its sharpness well through heavy-duty tasks, is extremely resistant to chipping, and withstands harsh environments, making it ideal for outdoor, butchery, and professional kitchen use.

What is the benefit of the Titanium Nitride coating?

The Black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating enhances the blade’s durability, corrosion resistance, and non-stick properties. This tough coating protects against rust, reduces friction for smoother slicing, and makes cleaning easier—perfect for outdoor adventures, wet environments, and messy butchery tasks.

What material is the handle?

The Night Shark Series features a non-slip Shark Skin™ texture handle made from a combination of polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber. This high-tech, waterproof material is resistant to extreme temperature, and provides a secure grip even in slippery conditions, such as when working with fish, meat, or wet environments.

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

Each Night Shark knife is meticulously sharpened to a razor-sharp 16-18° edge using Dalstrong’s advanced D3™ sharpening process. This ensures precision cutting power right out of the box. The blade holds its sharpness well, and regular honing with occasional sharpening will keep it performing at its best.

How should I care for and maintain this knife?

Designed for low maintenance, just rinse it off and dry before placing it in its sheath. When at home, hand wash your knife with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly before storing it in its tactical ballistic nylon sheath. Avoid using overly abrasive scrubbers to protect the Titanium Nitride coating. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher, as harsh conditions can dull the blade and damage the handle.

How often will I need to sharpen my knife?

Sharpening frequency depends on how you use it, but the Night Shark Series is designed for easy maintenance. Regular honing helps maintain the blade’s alignment, while occasional sharpening with a whetstone or high-quality sharpener will restore its razor edge when needed.

What is Dalstrong D3™ sharpening?

Dalstrong D3™ (Diamond Detailing) sharpening is a precision process that grinds, polishes, and hones each blade to achieve extreme sharpness. This multi-stage technique, inspired by traditional Japanese Honbazuke methods, creates a scalpel-like edge that withstands daily use, even in demanding outdoor and butchery environments.

What is Dalstrong LionShield™ treatment?

Dalstrong’s LionShield™ treatment is an advanced thermal and cryogenic process that strengthens the blade’s microstructure. This treatment improves hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring your Night Shark knife remains sharp, durable, and reliable through years of heavy use.

Is the Night Shark Series NSF certified?

Yes, the Night Shark Series is NSF certified, meeting strict standards for public health, safety, and performance. This certification makes it suitable for professional kitchens, fisheries, butcheries, and other commercial food preparation environments.

Does the Night Shark knife come with a sheath?

Yes, every Night Shark knife comes with a tactical ballistic nylon sheath designed for secure storage and easy transport. The sheath attaches to belts or rucksacks, making it perfect for outdoor adventures, camping, hunting, and professional kitchen use.

What warranties or guarantees do I have?

Dalstrong offers an industry-leading 70-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with your knife, you can return it for a full refund. Additionally, all Night Shark Series knives come with a lifetime warranty against defects, providing peace of mind and long-term protection for your investment.
