Dalstrong Chef & Cleaver Hybrid Knife - The 'Crixus' - 8 inch - Valhalla Series - 9CR18MOV HC Steel - Celestial Resin & Wood Handle - Razor Sharp Chef's Knife - w/Leather Sheath

Great knife, stays sharp. Definitely heavy but feels balanced, cuts everything with ease. Hand wash and oil occasionally and will last for a long time

I ordered the all black version of this knife from a different vendor and they sent me a super ugly all red marauder series knife. I gave up on that and ordered this beauty!!! This thing is incredibly sharp right out of the box. I sliced an apple paper thin and I have 0 knife skills. You should buy one of these knives.

There really isn't anything to dislike about this Dalstrong Valhalla Crixus knife. The workmanship is overall exceptional. It is very comfortable to hold for either slicing or chopping. The blade is made from a 9CR18MOV 5 layer steel with a 60+ Rockwell Hardness which means it will hold a great edge over numerous uses. It is a full tang blade that is precisely tempered and has a beautiful sandblasted finish. The handle is made from stabilized wood and premium resin. The detail in the handle is extremely good looking with a nice smooth finish. It is overall a very well balanced knife that will not wear out your hand or wrist after lots of use. This comes all packaged in Dalstrong's premium packaging. Included is the knife, a Leather PU Sheath, and the Valhalla Series Pin. This knife fits its way into any cooks kitchen and will slice, dice, and chop with the best of them as well as be a conversation piece.

You know, I wasn't sure this was going to be an effective chef's knife but it's great. I love the height of the blade as it offers a great reference point for making cuts and keeping the blade under control. Excellent balance as well. Terrific for those who like a pinch grip. Truly a pleasure to use once you get the feel for the design.

Let me start by saying their biggest single mistake is calling this a cleaver as well as a chefs knife. This is a chefs knife. It is absolutely not a cleaver. If you use this as a cleaver, which means using powerful hit against a butchers block, you will damage the knife if not chip it. #1 it’s light #2 it’s thin. Those alone make for a terrible cleaver. It’s not a cleaver. You can’t put a hang hole on a knife and call it a cleaver. It is however a beautiful, very sharp, light, balanced chefs knife. It’s amazing. It’s comfortable. It’s everything a chefs knife should be. Thick base for your thumb, weight distribution is excellent. Incredibly sharp. I give it 5 starts as a chefs knife. I’d give it 1 for a cleaver. It’s not a cleaver so they messed up calling it one. Regardless, beautiful chefs knife. Highly recommend this CHEFS knife.

First the good: This blade is EXTREMELY sharp and cuts with ease! Straight out of the box, this blade is remarkable and will be a great tool in my and others kitchens! The handle is a beautiful piece of art, and the tang is so subtle that it flows perfectly with the handle! Now the bad: The handle is smooth and slick, and is extremely slippery when your hand is wet. This can be potentially dangerous for you if you’re not careful, so please be careful when using it, other than that, its a great knife!

So good
