The Most Versatile Knife In Your Kitchen
What Is This Santoku Knife Used For?
Trusted and loved by top chef's, pro butcher's, home cooks, line cooks and everyone in between, the Gladiator Series is highly versatile and built for daily use. Whether chopping pounds of carrots, dicing up hardy herbs, or slicing through fibrous meats, the Gladiator Series chef knife is your dependable kitchen warrior.
-
How To Hold A Santoku Knife
A Minute To Learn, A Lifetime To Master
Learning to safely handle your knife increases precision & efficiency in the kitchen. A hammer grip is the simplest & most natural way to hold a knife. Wrap all 5 fingers around the handle, making no contact with the blade. For more dexterity & control, consider the "pinch grip". Wrap your middle, pinky & index finger around the handle. Put your bent index finger on one side of the blade, just ahead of the bolster, with your thumb on the other side "pinching" the blade between your two fingers.
-
Easy to Care For
Less maintenance so you can spend more time cooking. The Gladiator Series washes up quick with soap and water. Let air dry, or gently wipe off excess water before storing safety in the included PerfectFit sheath. Ideal for protecting your blade both at home and on the go.

At first I thought this Santoku knife was great. Very solid feel, looks very well made. Then I discovered that when chopping vegetables or really whatever, only the front part of the blade can contact the cutting surface and complete a cut. Anything towards the rear will not be cut through because the heavy bolster extends past the blade (see photo). I thought this had to be an error in manufacturing so I contacted the seller. Nope, I was told, this is an feature to protect the blade and is common with German knives. What?! Canadian company, Japanese style, made in China, and it's a problem with German knives? Maybe this is just a problem with the Santoku knife, which is a style I normally really enjoy, but this one is so frustrating to use, and that was such a poor excuse, I'm thinking of returning it.

Excellent product and I can't wait to own a couple for myself!
[Edit after 2 weeks' use]
First impressions were correct. I've used the Dalstrong knife for every job in the kitchen and it has more than proven itself as my new go-to knife. It held its edge slicing through two 7-pound cured and smoked pork roasts making precision, thin cuts for bacon, countless tomatoes and tons of other veggies, herbs, and meats, and just needed its first run across the steel yesterday. The edge came back after about 15 or 20 passes on the steel just as sharp, if not sharper than when the knife arrived. If you're having any second thoughts about the knife, don't! It's a masterful piece of work and a fantastic tool.
