DALSTRONG Boning Knife - 6" - Gladiator Series Elite - Forged German High-Carbon Steel - w/Sheath - NSF Certified

Nice presentation, can't comment on long term use but do not foresee any problems. Company are a pleasure to deal with.

È un ottimo prodotto, maneggevole e dal giusto peso, estremamente affidabile ed affilato, io l'ho usato per scontentare un carré di maiale di agnello. Penso che con Dalstrong ho trovato un buon brand perché i coltelli sono affilati, l'acciaio è buono e i prezzi sono abbastanza contenuti, ad oggi ne ho diversi serie gladiator e serie shogun e nessuno mi ha mai deluso, anzi sono fonte di invidia da parte di altri colleghi cuochi. Li consiglio vivamente.

I wanted a boning knife for a while now that is flexible and easy to use. Usage so far has been in deboning a chicken, taking the skin off fish fillets (when required) & taking the main part off a watermelon from the skin. I loved the flexibility of the blade in performing these tasks compared to using one of your standard knives that often doesn't perform well. Also, there is less wastage. What more could one want.

I have been considering buying new knives for a while and researched many. I found that the Dalstrong was highly rated and had a wide range of knife styles and prices. They also have very creative marketing strategy naming their knives after fierce warriors. I had planned to purchased the knives from Dalstrong directly, but they were sold out of many so, I checked them out on Amazon and there they were (same price too) I 've been boning (or deboning) a lot of meats and cutting up a lot of chicken wings lately, so I decided to go with a knife that would make the prep work easier for me. The Gladiator Series is kind of a mid-range starting knife (in the Dalstrong line-up). I received the Gladiator 6 inch (15cm) boning knife 3 days ago and separated about 50 chicken wings with ease. It was "almost" enjoyable . I had been struggling with scissors and my older Wustoff knives which didn't seem sharp enough anymore. I also received a 6 inch Shogun Series Chef knife which I am equally impressed with. I wanted the 8 inch but it was over double the price.( on Amazon) and not available from Dalstrong. I just ordered the Whetstone so my knives can maintain their sharpness and precision. I m certain that I will continue to add to my collection now. The knives come in a sleek artistic yet professional looking box with a protective knife sleeve and directions. I think they would make a nice gift for someone who appreciates both quality and style.

I bought these knives for my Wife, who was a professional (Meat Cutter/Butcher) for over 13 years and a in-home chef. Here is her review for all her Dalstrong knives. Hi, I'm reviewing all of my Dalstrong knives. NOTE: I was a professional (Meat Cutter/Butcher) for over 13 years and a in-home chef (yes I am a woman..LOL). I have been looking for another set of knives for a longtime. The proper weight, balance (blade to handle ratio), quality of the steel, edging of the blade (angle of the edge), grip of the handle and the flexibility or stiffness of the blade, depending on the task you are doing. My boning knife (Dalstrong Gladiator Series) is the most important (I do not let anyone else use), and keep in its case. (It's in the picture for viewing purposes, 3rd from the left). The boning knife does its job! It has the proper feel and grip. It has a proper lip at the bottom of the blade to protect your hand from slipping onto the blade. It has just enough flex on the tip to maneuver in and around bones and joints, and just the right amount of stiffness to cut through joints and membranes. The quality and sharpness of the blade is amazing and the construction of the handle is absolute quality workmanship. I highly recommend this knife. As a note, I wish they had a 5 inch boning knife, but they do not.. The rest of my Dalstrong set includes a, 9.5" and 6", Chefs(Shogun Series). First two on the left in the picture. Warning : they are sharp, sharp, sharp! The quality and sharpness of the blade is amazing and the construction of the handle is absolute quality workmanship. The 3rd from the left, in the picture is my boning knife and 4th-10th is for culinary, all (Gladiator Series). The opinion is the same. Warning : they are sharp, sharp, sharp! The quality and sharpness of the blade is amazing and the construction of the handle is absolute quality workmanship. All knives are shipped and packed with protective cases and covers on the tips. (The only one I do not have is the filleting knife, for fish) These knives are NOT meant for the dishwasher or children. The blades are very sharp! (I just glazed the edge with my finger and cut the crap out of myself !!). They're a professional set . These should be hand washed. If you want knives that you put in the dishwasher buy something else!! These are a professional set and should be treated as such!!
