Review on DALSTRONG Butchers Breaking Cimitar Knife Kitchen & Dining by Jessica Clay

Update: Dalstrong contacted and honored their Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. Most people will be satisfied with the product. ----Original Let me start by saying that my experience with Dalstrong was good or bad. Some products have good workmanship, fit and finish while others have been worse in my opinion. SlicerShogun 12.5" CimitarShogun 10" Cimitar 2xShogun 10" ButcherShogun S Yanagiba The Good: First, let me say I had no trouble fitting and finishing these knives. The fit and sanding of the Pakka wood handles were good. The blades were smooth. The knife was sharp out of the box The scabbard fitted fairly well although I prefer the shogun scabbard with the plastic part holding it. with reasonable accuracy. The problem with this knife is that the rear end is weak. ie the knife bends too much. I have 10" and 12.5" shoguns. They have a lot of back and can push a large roast through the tip without bending too much which is especially helpful if you are cutting large pieces where you are pulling the entire cut in a curved way Unfortunately this will fill the role of a "slicer" which I also have 14" gladiator and shogun slicers and would prefer these for slicing. I'm trying to decide whether to gift them to friends, send them back (I have 2) or give them to slicer duties. Three stars because I couldn't solve the Cimitar task well enough.
