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.

Beauty Out Of The Box
Such a beautiful work of art straight out of the box. As another reviewer said, I just looked at it for about 5 minutes and couldn't say a word. I've had it for about an hour and have sliced tomatoes, lemons, and some salmon steaks, chopped some celery and carrots, minced up some dill, and just for the heck of it did a basil chiffonade because I could. The blade is super sharp out of the box, but I think a welcome home honing is in order just to smooth things out and get to know the blade. Three years ago I bought the 7-inch Victorinox santoku and I'm surprised at how much bigger the Dalstrong 7-inch knife is - see the accompanying photo. By the way, there's no comparison in the heft and obvious quality between the two - the Dalstrong goes light years beyond the Victorinox product. This is hard for me to say because for years I've sworn by Forschner/Victorinox as the best knives out there. I stand corrected. So, first impressions are wonderful and I'm very happy with my purchase.[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.

Update from 2 to 5 stars. While it took a couple of tries, Dalstrong really came through. As I said in the original review, I loved the knife but it had a small defect that hurt the function of the knife. They requested I contact them after I left this review and I did. They were awesome and sent me a new knife immediately with expedited delivery. Their knives are amazing and at an excellent price point. And now I can say their customer service is over the top as well. Very happy, they earned their 5 star rating.
------------------------
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.
