Dalstrong Nakiri Asian Vegetable Knife – 7″ – Gladiator Series – Forged German High Carbon Steel – Black G10 Handle Kitchen Knife – Sheath Included – NSF Certified

About a year ago I needed a new boning knife and order Dalstrong’s Gladiator series. I liked it from the day I used it. they are very well balanced, the handle is comfortable to hold and grip, and the blade holds an edge. I broke down 75 22-26 lb turkeys for last Thanksgiving with out having to touch the sharpening stone. Due to the fact I am a chef in a national park I was laid off during the government shutdown and my knife set was stolen. I replaced my entire set with Dalstrong and do not regret it what so ever. Every knife has been built with the same quality and yes I did order the big daddy butchers knife. I have only two areas that could use improvement. First it would be great if they would build knife set for chef’s in their kitchens such as a butchers set or a grade mange set with knife rolls or carrying cases. The block sets offer little to the professional kitchen. And second i am disappointed they have not yet contacted me to become their official spokesperson and send me to show how awesome their knives are, lol. Okay the second reason is a pipe dream but its fun to dream. But really these knives are great and the quality far exceeds the price
