Fantastic value
By Rick B on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
I was looking for a good filet/boning knife and I didn't really want the most expensive, coolest looking thing since I don't take all that great of care of my knives. This knife is a fantastic value. The grip is great, the knife came very sharp and has held it's edge well. It's worked great for cutting ribs, de-boning a rib roast, etc. This knife is a perfect fit for my needs and budget. Great job, Dalstrong.

Good for home use, bad for work use.
By Pachachor Ly on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021
I cut cut meat for a grocery market so please keep this in mind as you my review. Pros: Comes out the box sharp. -Thin blade which is nice for getting precise cuts. -Scalloped edges creates space between the blade and meat when cutting. Cons: I can't seem to get the burr off which makes the blade dull by stone. I can see the burr with my bare eyes even after sharpening it on a 6000 grit stone. -After the blade has become dull it takes a while to give the blade a proper bevel. Even when I do I'm stuck with the burr that I have to take out with a buffer which usually turns the blade razor sharp. -Unlike out of the box the cutting edge does not last long. I find myself resharpening the blade every week and sometime after a few days. -Sometime a honing stick will help but this remedy is short lived. -The scalloped edge is awkwardly placed in a straight line running up straight across the blade rather than following the contour of the cutting edge. It's nice to have a scalloped edge but the placement needs work. -I don't like the handle. The ridges forces your hands to turn your wrist more than a rounded handle. Which is not comfortable because you're putting your wrist in a position where it's not as strong which would cause issues later if you're using it for hours on end. -The blade is very light which is understandable because of the thin blade. This also forces you to apply more downward pressure in order to make your cut. Overall, as a blade for home use it is very nice. I don't know much you would use this knife at home but I would imagine that it would be much less than a butcher would. But for a butcher this knife would be very inconvenient for the cons. Nice price but the time you spend maintaining it makes it more expensive than a well known brand like Victorinox. Be Gucci my dudes.

Great knives

Haven’t had a chance to cut or slice and dice anything yet but this weekend I will. So far they feel good in my hand like the construction of them - they are not a gladiator or others but still carry that quality name Dalstrong!! And I saved money also so I’m happy so far . No blade guards came with it so I’ll order some to keep my knives like new
Just what I was looking for

The knife did everything I wanted it to, but it just feels SOOOOO good holding it that it's easy to pretend you're a ninja and start swinging it around in the air. I'm a bit concerned someone might lop an arm off or whatever playing ninja. It's very sharp. Just cut the meat and put the stupid thing away already, hero. It's not a toy. You definitely don't want this anywhere children can get to it.
Good for the Money.

I purchased a matching breaking knife and have been pleased with both. Watch out! These are extremely sharp as my brother cut himself carving the turkey last holiday. My plan is to purchase whole roasts and cut my own steaks.

Nice, small paring knife !

Nice, very sharp serrated knife. I have big hands so I need a bit bigger knife, ESP for slicing, but I am keeping it just to have around. ESP for small tomatoes that require a very sharp blade.
Excellent knife-great price.

Great knife and a very decent price too. Plan on buying more and ditching my crappy knives.
Full tang
By DaveH on the bayou - Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019

Decided to try this unique design based on the non traditional blade and handle shapes. Overall the knife is of good quality, such as the traditional basic chef knives by Mercer, Victorinox, etc. It has a big plus by having a full tang blade in this price level. It comes very sharp right out of the box. However, the knife is slightly lighter than expected and the blade height at the handle could be deeper for my preference. Some would find these to be good points, so I don't mean to be overly critical. The handle itself is pretty comfortable. I look forward to using this knife more in order to get used to the different profile. Overall it's a good, solid, well made knife. My final point will be that in my opinion the price is a bit on the high side, but if you can pick one up on a lightning deal like I did, it's worth it to try out a new design.
It’s ok but water is always getting in the handle

I dislike how water stays in between the tang and the handle no matter how you try and keep it dry. Thin blade Works well for a cheap knife If you’re looking for a knife to never worry about for the price it’s fine. It does hold a new edge for some time. I would just recommend buying a better knife this company has a lot of fantastic quality knives to choose from.
