Review: Comfortable, well balanced, flexible, and slices without drag - I use my chef's knife for just about everything, but it's not the best tool for carving turkeys or large roasts so this Christmas I finally got myself a carving knife, and what a difference having the right tool for the job makes! Thinner and a lot longer than my chef's knife, this carving knife has a long narrow blade that tapers to a fine edge that's perfect for slicing large hams, roasts, and that huge Thanksgiving turkey. The long straight blade allows me to use horizontal strokes rather than downward pressure when carving so I can get straight even slices from the largest of roasts, and the divots along the edge keep the food from sticking so there's no drag. The handle is comfortable to hold and the knife feels well balanced. The blade is moderately flexible which lets me follow the curvature of a carcass to get around the bones. It has an extremely sharp edge, a well-balanced, comfortable handle, and plenty of flexibility. Thick or thin slices, hot or cold meat it didn't matter. This carving knife produces long straight cuts without having to saw into foods making for a beautiful presentation. It's razor sharp right out of the box of course, and it will probably stay that way for a long time unless you do a LOT of roasts and use it frequently in which case it will need to be sharpened. I notice that the divots don't go all the way to the edge though, so it will be easy to sharpen whenever it finally needs to be. If you like roasts or ham, get this knife because it makes like so much easier than trying to slice with anything else. It even comes with a sheath for storage between use which is nice. Personally, I always hand wash knives like this and dry them with a towel before putting them away. Never ever in the dishwasher! Anyhow, the bottom line is this is a terrific knife for the job and very reasonably priced for the quality too. Review: Nice Slicer for the Price - Let me start by saying I have many knives. I have Yaxell Gou's, Wusthof Culinar's, Dalstrong Shogun and Gladiator, Chicago Cutlery, etc. Outside of the kitchen I have a good connection of folders with several ZDP-189 Spyderco's. I'll start by saying I generally think Dalstrong is overpriced made in China Japanese wanna be cutlery but the company does stand by their product and put a lot of time into making customers happy. See my other reviews on Dalstrongs. In this case I was pleasantly surprised. I got this early in the Dalstrong launch. The knife came sharp, the grind was good generally good design etc. Is it a Yaxell Gou, absolutely not. Is it a good knife for the price? Yes. I used it to slice homemade Bacon on the first cut. It did a great job, cut straight. The blade was straight front to back. I'm happy with the quality on this knife and the performance for the price for hardened German steel. The fit and finish was good but not great. What you would expect at this price range. I also used the knife to cut brisket as I live in Texas. The crust doesn't slice as well as a $30 dollar scalloped dexter russell. Those points just penetrate the crust better. Still, for many things I'm pretty happy and this is serving the purpose I bought it for. Update: I now have the shogun. For the cost the gladiator is a better deal. It's not as solid feeling and doesn't have as much back to the knife but will do the job as a slicer. It's a touch longer in the handle than the Shogun as pictured. ## Features - Elite Craftsmanship: Premium materials, modern engineering, and award-winning design deliver exceptional performance at outstanding value. - Razor-Sharp Slicer: Full-tang high-carbon German steel blade, hand-polished to a precise 16–18Β° edge.

We would advise 1000 grit and 6000 grit, although you can also go even finer. Soak the 6000 grit side in water for less time than the 1000 grit. Here is a good resource on how to do this, including suggestions on motioning the proper angle: http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/howtosharpen.html **Q: Is this a carving knife or a bread knife - shows "Bread Knife" when looking at the descriptions on the left of picture** A: Thank you for your interest. This Gladiator Series 12-in knife is a carving knife (but there's no reason you can't use it for bread too if you want). **Q: Is it dish washer safe?** A: Thank you for your question. Here are some tips for care and maintenance for your knife: Best to wash by hand with a small amount of detergent. Dry immediately with an absorbent towel. Don’t use soaps with citrus or bleach extracts as they can promote corrosion. Never leave any amount of staying water as corrosion can eventually occur, weakening the blade. Do not recommend placing in the dishwasher- heavy jet streams, flying debris and harsh chemicals can push blade against other items, causing damage. Best stored dry in the included sheath when not in use. Never attempt to force a cut by twisting blade or prying. Avoid cutting frozen foods, shelled animals and products with hard components (coconut, bone). The softer cutting surface is recommended, such as wood, plastic, and bamboo. Glass, granite, marble, and ceramic may dull blade quickly. You can also condition the handles with olive oil or tung oil to keep them smooth and looking new. **Q: What is the country of manufacture for this brand of knives?** A: Thank you for your question. Our knives are painstakingly assembled by expert blades smiths in a state-of-the-art facility within YangJiang, China (a city renowned for knife crafting for nearly 1500 years). We use premium materials from different locations depending on the product (for example, our Shogun & Phantom Series uses steel made in Japan, and our Gladiator Series uses steel made in Germany and handles made of pakkawood from Spain.) We are thus able to achieve exceptional quality but keep the costs of our knives lower for our customers. We offer unparalleled quality AND support at pure value pricing. If these were produced in Japan the costs would be significantly higher. Our Chinese factory proudly stands head and shoulders above all others in YangJiang, as our artisans (and lead foreman specifically) are on a personal mission to prove to the world Chinese quality can be world-class. Our products go through rigorous processes, with unparalleled attention and care given to each blade. We are so confident in the quality of our knives we offer an industry record-length 120-day full money back guarantee (including the shipping) and a limited lifetime warranty. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable, well balanced, flexible, and slices without drag *by S***. on January 2, 2017* I use my chef's knife for just about everything, but it's not the best tool for carving turkeys or large roasts so this Christmas I finally got myself a carving knife, and what a difference having the right tool for the job makes!
