DALSTRONG8" Chef's Knife -"The Crixus" - Gladiator Series - Chef & Cleaver Hybrid - Meat Knife w/Sheath

I’m not sure how to really describe this. It’s an amazing knife, looks like a medieval sword, use it in the bush as well. Either way, it’s a darn good meat cleaver or chopping knife. Extremely good quality and worth the money. I wish that I could test out all their knives before making an informed decision the next time. All in all five stars, and a very good barbeque knife for chopping meat.

Perfetto

Hola buenas tardes, el día de ayer me llego mi pedido, sin embargo la caja del producto viene un poco dañada y esta caja si la necesito para guardar el artículo en todo momento, quería ver que se puede hacer ya que me gustaría tener la caja imprécale como si saliera de la fábrica

I don’t like giving out five stars, but I really, really like this knife. It is my fourth Dalstrong kitchen knife and it does not disappoint.Presentation is “special occasion” worthy since it comes in its own sleeved case and fitted box. My kids love the metal badge that comes with it that I am sure I would adorn if I were a professional, uniformed, chef. The custom molded scabbard is stout and not a simple piece of plastic.The initial appearance of the knife is impressive and intimidating to those who do not know knives. To someone who appreciates metal, the sight of the knife makes you salivate since the overall shape of this Crixus is truly unique. It’s a mix between pirate and huntsman style cutlery, just amped-up a bit. Perfect knife for someone who likes to prepare foods with a little extra flare and fan-fare.The actual use and feel of the knife in hand is surprising. The knife is large and longer than your average chef knife, but the blade feels light in your hand. This is an added benefit for the long hours of food prep and not wanting a blade that is heavy to wield. I have other Dalstrong knives that are much thicker and heavy to use after prolonged use. This knife is easy to handle and maneuver to get into and cut joint/ligament areas without having to reposition your meaty portion. The handle feels good in hand even when wet with water and even offers a good grip with fatty oils/blood. The wood handle offers an advantage over the synthetics by appearing smooth but still offering a slight texture. The cut profile of the blade is extremely narrow for the size of the blade. This adds to the ease of slicing through thick cuts of roasts and loins. This blade will chop through chicken bones, but I would not recommend it for whacking through pork bone beyond 1/2” and definitely no on beef bones and sugar cane.The blade edge is crazy sharp. I have sharpened many knives at home and professionally at work. This is the first knife, out of the box that I have been not only able to effortlessly slice through a sheet of paper, but I’ve been able to gently chop delicate slivers of paper off just by a light flick of the wrist while holding the knife. The sharpness is exhilarating!Knife is not for dishwasher. If you are putting your sharp kitchen knives in the dishwasher, then you need not purchase this knife. You need to just grab one of those colorful knives in those plastic multi-packs hanging in the Walmart aisle. Blade cleans up well with hot water and soap. Dry it immediately since the high carbon blade gets spots and/or tarnishes overnight. My girlfriend had washed one of my Dalstrong knives (just perfectly as she was supposed to, but got distracted and let it air dry causing water spots from our hard water). Spots come out easily with a polish cloth and/or a light scuff with a blue scour pad. All high carbon, high quality knives will suffer the same fate from prolonged immersion in water.I whole-heartedly recommend this knife to professionals and those who want an economically affordable, high quality knife.

Un cuchillo que impresiona, gran diseño tanto del cuchillo como la caja y funda de la hoja. Lo volvería a adquirir
