Review: A good quality knife at reasonable price - So, I have used this knife for a few weeks now. A few pointers, this is German steel at RH of around 55. It means it will not hold edge as well as Dalstrongs Phantom or Shogun series blades that use harder Japanese steel (RC 58 and 62 respectively) but this is easier to maintain on a rod if you prefer that to wetstone sharpening. a few passes on a rod and its back to like new sharpness for your next escapade in the kitchen. speaking of sharpness, Dalstrong overhypes their out of box sharpness. I wouldn't call it incredibly razor sharp, its sharp enough to pass the paper test, but not quite shave hairs off your arm. A few passes on a wetstone or strop will fix that right up though. Otherwise the fit and finish of this knife is very good, and the steel quality seems right up there with the big boys in german steel. I especially like the shape and size of this blade, I its a very fun knife profile to use. I especially enjoy using this knife on proteins like chicken and steak. Dalstrong cutomer service is also top notch, so you are protected for the life of the blade. I heartily Recommend this series if you prefer German steel knives. I'm more of a Japanese steel guy, I like sharpening to scary sharp edges on wetstones, so I will more likely be getting phantom or shogun going forward.
Review: Better than Iam - This is a fabulous knife. The quality is top shelf, and customer service is a joy. However, this paricular knife may not be ideal for a home cook who doesn't have pro skills. (Like I don't) It's very large. Compared to a Santoku and a cheap 8" chef knife (see photos), it's absolutely huge. The tip is also very low, and the belly very flat. So although it's designed for push cuts, you must be aware at all times where that ultra-sharp tip is. Lest you dig into your board and break it. You can't really rock it, because of the flat belly. Keep this in mind if you do a lot of this kind of chopping. You can rock a little, but again, be careful you don't twist the tip. I fully admit, this was a pure vanity purchase. It just looks wicked cool. I figured a knife is a knife is a knife. I was very wrong. It feels cumbersome. It feels like a hatchet. But, it looks wicked cool, and is sharp enough to shave with. None of the perceived shortcomings of this knife are the fault of the knife itself, I think. Thus, I gave it 5 stars. It's well built, well packaged, well balanced, and well backed. I just need [a lot of] practice to get more out of it. You may be better off with a Santoku, or a more rounded Gyuto if you want the length. Dalstrong makes nice versions of these as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnificent
*by M***S on May 24, 2018*

I'm an Executive Chef, and have been a culinary professional for over 20 years. I have used many different brands of knives. I will say unequivocally that I am in LOVE with the Dalstrong brand. I prefer German steel, so I went with the gladiator series. The knifes are well balanced, hold a clean edge for a good while with regular honing, and have a comfortable feel. I currently have brands such as Shun, Korin, Wusthof, and Henckel in my knife roll, but i am currently transitioning into all Dalstrong gladiator series. The sheath is well made and fits the blade perfectly. Just like wine, price is in no way reflective in the quality, and with Dalstrong you wont be paying high prices for high grade, well crafted, professional steel. Whether you fancy yourself to be an amateur cook, someone who enjoys cooking at home, or a seasoned culinary professional, you will fall in love with these blades just as I have. I will be diligent in purchasing the rest of my preferred series, and I strongly urge you to give Dalstrong a try. I have encouraged my cooks, professional peers, family and friends to purchase these wonderfully crafted gems. For the price, you really have nothing to lose. I know once you have, you will not be more satisfied with any other purchase then the one you made purchasing these essential kitchen tools. They really are such a joy to use.
