Dalstrong Paring Knife - 3.5 inch - Forged High-Carbon German Steel - Red Handle - Sheath - Small Knife Fruit Vegetable Cutting Knife - Gladiator Series - Razor Sharp Kitchen Knife - NSF

Super Cool High Quality knife! First of all, I'm not a chef, but I do barbeque a lot and have had quite a few knives, but never a really good one. Looking for a good knife, first I bought a Victorionox Chef's knife because of the reviews, but I didn't like anything about it, seemed like your normal Walmart knife in spite of all the 5 star reviews. Finally after some more research I bought the Dalstrong and have had it for about 2 months now, here's what I love about it: -At first look, high quality, very solid costruction, well finished knife...definitely met my "cool knife" requirement. -I like the form, very comfortable for a pairing knife, I use it mostly for cutting fruit. -Very sharp, passes paper cutting test no problem. Of course remember to have your honing steel handy, since to keep it sharp you will have to hone it regularly, which is to be expected. I take very good care of it, but one day I came home and found my wife smashing it against the chopping board chopping onions, so, so far it is tough! -Solid handle, really nice finish, does not absorb water, the middle pin with the logo is the perfect finish, plus with the metal on the end you can use it to smash stuff if you want. -Comes with a nice sheath, which comes in handy for storage so nobody gets cut. -No matter how close you look at it, all the terminations and material are high quality. So, overall I'm very satisfied with the knife, I cannot find anything I do not like about this knife. My next purchase will be the utility knife, although I want to try out the Shogun series with Damascus steel!

This knife is excellent. When I buy a knife, I do not care that it doesn't COME sharp, only that it can be MADE to be very sharp. This knife was both holds an edge fantastically, but as a bonus came razor sharp already. I am in charge of quality and metallurgy for a steel manufacturing plant that makes 2 million pieces a month, so metal is something I know. Pros: - The handle seems very durable, and I like the shape. It's a great knife if you've got a 7 year old learning to cook. (adult supervision only obviously) - The knife has a very nice weight for its size, and handles very well, whether I'm pairing with it or my daughter is slicing. - The angle of the grind is great, and cutting is almost effortless. - The steel the blade is made from, along with the heat treatment means that the blade will stay very sharp for along period of time. Cons: - It's biggest strength could also be a draw back. The steel this blade is made from is VERY hard and will keep an edge a long time. However, that also means that it is also hard to put that edge onto the knife. You need several levels of whetstone and a lot of practice with them to sharpen this kind of knife. Otherwise, you can probably find a place near you that will sharpen them for only a small fee. Bonus tips: - NEVER put your knives in the dishwasher. The high heat of the drying cycle can be hot enough to ruin the temper (heat treatment) on your blade and make it soft, keeping it from holding an edge. It also works like a sand blaster with gritty soap to help remove food that will dull your knife quickly. Hand wash, dry, and put away immediately after use. - Use a honing steel before each use. Honing steels do NOT sharpen knives, but they will help to realign the very small burrs on the edge helping it to retain a sharp edge longer. Use a high quality steel or ceramic one. I am confident this knife and the others I've bought will last me years.

Absolute high quality knives. Extremely well made. I really like all the different series that are offered as well as other kitchen tools and items. They have some very unique items and one of a kind. I got some of the gladiator series for my oldest son and the show gun series for my youngest son for Christmas. I even got a couple for myself. These knives will last a lifetime and beyond if they are taken care of. I'm a very happy and will be a life long customer. Many more items I will be ordering in the future.

I've worked in a high end steak and seafood restaurant as a sous chef for the last 30 years, so a sharp, substantial, knife is the most critical item required to practice my craft well. I've had Wuhstof, Henckles, Zwilling, Mercer, Global, and even a Bob Kramer in my knife roll so I know what's expected of an excellent tool. I purchased this Dalstrong paring and utility knife because of the customer reviews, knowing I could return them if they were crap. They absolutely are not. Sharp as a surgical scalpel right out of the box, and although my hands are small, I loved the heft and how perfectly balanced they are. The most important thing about them is they get the job DONE with absolutely no drag or hesitation, foods don't stick to the blade and doesn't tear up delicate things like tomatoes and herbs. I have used this from slicing up cuts of meat to intricate dicing of vegetables with great accuracy. What's shocking to me is this particular knive performs better than the $275 Wuhstof one I own at less than half the price. Please NEVER EVER put knives in the dishwasher, even cheap ones as that's a fast way to irreparably ruin the blade. I learned years ago just wash them in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly before you put them away, and please store your knives in a knife block or magnetic strip ( which is what I like to use ). Any knife when properly cared for and stored will be a pleasure for years. I've honed and sharpened my personal and professional knives for years, but if the thought of doing that yourself is intimidating there are some excellent YouTube videos that walk you through it and once you learn how it's very simple. In conclusion, Dalstrong is now the only brand I will continue to buy from, both for my home kitchen and where I work. I've already ordered a bread, chefs, and santoku knife to replace what I'm already using, and next on my list is their cleaver and crixus knife. When it comes to knives and kitchen tools I'm not easily impressed, but hot damn Dalstrong well done!!
