- FOR DAILY HOME COOKING, BBQ PREP, AND THE WEEKEND COOK WHO'S IN THE KITCHEN FROM 8AM ON: The 8" Gladiator Elite is the Western-style workhorse a little heavier, a little heftier, tuned for the rock-cut rhythm most home cooks and pitmasters grew up with. Onions, herbs, proteins, peppers, roasts every night, every meal.
- FOR THE COOK UPGRADING FROM A BIG-BOX STARTER KNIFE: Full-tang forged high-carbon German stainless steel, 56+ HRC, hand-polished to a precise 1618 edge per side. Built for edge retention and everyday durability, tempered for stain resistance. You'll feel the difference in weight and balance the first time you pick it up.
- FOR PINCH-GRIP CONTROL ACROSS LONG PREP SESSIONS: Triple-riveted G-10 handle with hybrid bolster delivers a balanced, substantial feel with superior comfort and maneuverability. Tapered blade geometry reduces slicing resistance and adds knuckle clearance on the cutting board. Laminated and polished for a sanitary build.
- FOR THE BBQ PITMASTER, HOME CHEF, AND SERIOUS HOSTING: Slices through a pork shoulder, breaks down a whole chicken, rocks through herbs, and portions a brisket cleanly. NSF certified for professional kitchen use. The single blade that does 80% of a pro kitchen's daily work.

I'm not a knife expert by any stretch... Every knife I've owned before this is just a cheap kitchen knife I found at a random store for like $30-$50. Those knives weren't very sharp to begin with but quickly dulled to being pretty dangerous to even use. I was struggling to prep dinner and it just wasn't good. So I bought this knife and wow is it nice and sharp. Holding it is like Schroedinger's Blade. On the one hand it feels extremely dangerous to even hold because one false move and I'm slicing my hand open or my finger off... but on the other hand (the one not being sliced), it feels very solid and very balanced and it cuts things so effortlessly that it makes food prep WAY safer. Before I was having to really put pressure down to even cut an onion, now I'm gently sliding the blade right through everything like butter. So in terms of how effective this knife is... I'd say 100%. It feels great to hold. It has good weight to it. You can feel the quality just from holding it. Super easy to clean as well. My only concern with getting a fancy knife like this was maintenance... I have zero knowledge of keeping a knife sharp, or proper knife care, or anything... So I sort of "winged it" by getting a little simple knife sharpener off amazon that you just run the blade through a few times. I've used it a handful of times on the knife so far but honestly it didn't even need it. The blade is still sharp a couple months later of daily use. This is a no muss, no fuss, sharp as a razor knife that gets the job done. I'm super happy with it and glad I finally spent a bit more money on a quality kitchen knife. It makes chopping stuff fun.

I recently moved and wanted to buy a better cooking knife. I had 4 criteria I was looking for: Cost less than $100, made out of decent steel, a sheath, and made anywhere but China. This knife hits the first three, even costing substantially less than my set budget. I've used it quite a bit on various foods now and it performs very well. It has great weight and balance and is comfortable to use. The fit and finish of the knife are great. The sheath has a tiny bit of grip to keep it on, and slides on and off easily. I would say the steel holds an edge quite well, but I haven't really tested to see how fast it dulls since I do quick maintenance every 3 or 4 uses (using a water stone). As to the country of origin, I get that doing the manufacturing in China is a good way to keep costs down and the quality may not suffer, and ultimately it's my choice as a consumer whether to purchase products that originate there. That's why the knife keeps the full 5 stars. Maybe it's unrealistic, but If I had the option of paying 10-20 dollars more for the same knife made someplace else, I'd likely do it. I'm probably not your average customer, anyway. Thanks for reading.

First and foremost, it's a culinary blade for most jobs. While it comes in a cool and promising box, the blade guard is lack luster. Outside the safety measures, this knife rocks. I was doing Julien cuts with no issue. I actually made a somewhat small cut in the space/time fabric with it. Great knife and worth the money.

I'd have to say this is my first high quality chef's knife and I love it, super Sharp, well balanced, and the perfect size for what I wanted. I think I may try another knife from them, just will have a hard time deciding which one.

I absolutely love this knife. It's super sharp and the quality is great. The beautiful color allows me to still show my personality at work while still being professional. It's a great knife for beginners in the kitchen because it's so versatile.

Knife was good at first. After about 6 months of use it started getting cracks in the handle. I hand wash it and dry it trying to take care of it and these appeared and started getting larger with time.. bit disappointing since it was not so cheap to buy, just expected better for the price. *update Customer service reached out and sent me a replacement.. loks like material were re-engeniered so hoping it hold up this time

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: This knife has withstood the test of time. I bought this knife in 2016 and it is still a daily workhorse in my kitchen. I only wish I had more Dalstrong knives. The Shogun series looks amazing. Would do anything to own a set but the knives are getting pricey - understandably so though. They are very well made. Stop looking. You can’t go wrong with Dalstrong! Hey look I made a rhyme! You’re welcome. The Dalstrong Gladiator chef knife cuts as good as it looks. If you are looking to upgrade your knife for a true kitchen workhorse, look no further. Here is a brief summary of my review. For more information and to see what this knife can truly do, check out my video review and pictures. LIKE: - Light as a feather, yet its sharpness allows for it to power through the toughest root vegetables with ease - Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue - Tall blade for ample knuckle clearance - Solid construction - full tang, triple riveted. Designed for durability - Better than my CutCo and Henckel Pro knives! - Amazing customer service! Dalstrong truly puts its customers first. Dalstrong's President took the time to personally answer my questions about the product. Try contacting Henckel or Cutco's customer support via email; I assure you their first response will not be from their President! DON'T LIKE: - Not stainless so if you buy this knife, take good care of it and it will take care of you. I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed making it. If so, please let me know! -ReviewGuru
