Dalstrong Carving Slicing Knife - 12 inch - Shogun Series ELITE - Granton Edge - Japanese AUS-10V Super Steel Kitchen Knife - Damascus - Vacuum Treated - Slicer Kitchen Knife - Sheath Included

Dalstrong Carving Knife and Fork set has heft and outstanding quality. Really well made and very sharp to slice any roast or turkey. A handsome touch to your table.

This is a great knife. The quality is amazing and the factory edge is better than “razor sharp”. This knife could replace a meat slicer you can cut so thin with it. When I researched Dalstrong online some said that the knives were overpriced and too flashy in their appearance and marketing. After owning this I say they are awesome and are some cool kitchen bling. This is a knife you can use, sharpen, and keep using, it will last as long as you want it.

This knife is wonderful! Easy in the hand and very sharp. Love Dalstrong knives . Great foe veggie cutting and slicing

Love this knife for carving, keeps a great edge

It’s a damn fine knife, happy I bought it…. But it dose have a smaller handle. I mean I got decent sized hands but this handle is tiny, it dose not encourage me to buy more from this company in the future. Zwilling and Wusthof have big nice easy to hold handles. But that’s just my opinion, the Damascus on this knife is beautiful and the handle is very beautiful and tightly bout together and I am very happy that I own this specific knife. If the handle was an inch longer and a little fatter it would be an easy 5 star.

I am so glad I bought this beautiful blade. It made sense to me for slicing delicate fish, etc. *(especially working product from my Sous Vide). Super sharp, it glides through with the “granton” reliefs that are ground into the blade to minimize sticking. The extra long blade allows single draw cuts with great precision. The Damascus is simply beautiful, and this blade is just a pleasure to use. The balance is really good for a long blade too. It’s a specialty knife; and I look for any opportunity to pick it up. Perfect for Sushi, Fish, and a lot of other things too. I really use it more than I thought I would, and that makes me really happy.

I have had many 'carving' and 'slicing' knives over the years, but it was not until I started grilling Flank Steaks that I knew I needed a better knife to cut thin slices against the grain. Flank steak is such an inexpensive cut that I will pay for this knife in no time! I can cut Flank steak less than an 1/8" thick with this surgical knife. I can also shave 1/16" slices off for gyros. If you like carne asada, you NEED this knife! This knife cuts tuna sashimi beautifully! It is long enough that you can pull the knife across the fish in one direction and make a thin cut. No sawing back and forth! This is one of my 4 Dalstrong Knives. I love them all. The packaging is gorgeous and makes a great presentation as a gift. VERY HIGH END. The sheath it comes with is beautiful and very SAFE! The company has great customer service and stands behind their products!

This is my favorite knife of the Shogun set (though I don't have the scimitar yet!). Some of the other knives do have some stiff competition and possibly/probably better knives in the same price range or better, but this is one of my favorites (along with the steak knives) and probably the best carving knife I've had. I have several expensive ones over the years but I've given some away, left some at holiday parties on accident, etc. This sucker is sharp and cuts some real thin slices. You could easily make see through tomato slices (In fact I cut a tomato into several dozen slices last night) with it and it works just as well on meat. Looks fantastic, blade was straight, bevel was perfect, handle is uniformly finished, sides are uniformly polished. Although I might not always reach for the Gyuto (it's pretty and a solid knife and I have used it some since I got it don't get me wrong, I just have several and some perform better. ) this slicing knife is better than one I have that is 3x the price. sucker just feels good and works. I was considering getting the carving knife that comes with the fork instead because I really wanted the fork, but I wanted this over the carving knife and I don't really feel the need to have both since a gyuto, boning knife, and slicing knife pretty much has everything meat related covered without the need for a carving knife.

Absolutely superb knife...not sure how I've managed to carve meat all these years without it, it's so sharp it goes through the Sunday roasts in my kitchen like butter (well, maybe not that well, but you get the idea!!!) and has been a huge boon in improving portion control and presentation. Beautifully packaged in a presentation box that is a shame to get rid of, with it's own plastic sheaf, maintains its edge with very little honing and should last a lifetime, even in a busy working kitchen. Highly recommended.

**SECOND UPDATE** The first version I received after ordering had a number of issues--the knife was not properly sharpened and one fork tine was unfinished. After contacting customer service however, I was promptly issued a new set which arrived quickly [emailed support Friday afternoon, new product shipped Monday and arrived Wednesday] and is problem-free. The knife is well sharpened and the fork looks perfect. The build quality of both items is excellent and I anticipate they will both last a lifetime with proper care. Both feel very well made and thus far perform well above their cost levels. I can't yet report on edge retention or ease of sharpening, but will do so once the time comes--I expect both will be typical of what is normally found with AUS-10V steel, as there is nothing peculiar about the grind or edge geometry on this knife. As noted above, despite what the description states, the knife is not made from VG-10 steel--it is AUS-10V. The steel is similar in quality and performance, though not identical and the description should be updated to reflect their change in manufacturing. Overall, I'd have no hesitation buying additional knives from Dalstrong and fully intend to do so.

Bon couteau, bonne prise en main et bien affûter. Satisfait. Bien pour desépaissir

Oh. My. Gosh. Looks amazing. Great packaging. Can’t wait to start slicing! Beautiful piece. Very sharp out of the box.

Perfecto era lo que buscaba
