Dalstrong Boning Knife – 6 inch – Gladiator Series Elite – Forged German High-Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife – Razor Sharp – Black G10 Handle – w/Sheath – NSF Certified

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!!
