DALSTRONG Shadow Black 7CR17MOV X Certified Review

This knife is amazing. It's a good weight, great grip and grip if your hands get dirty, the blade is literally like a razor and cleans up really well with warm water. It feels very good in the hand and looks good. It also came with a sheath and a fun pin, plus some fun facts and instructions. I love unexpected treats and a good mood. I'm officially switching to Dalstrong knives. I'm looking at the Nakiri style for my next purchase.

Has almost no blade out of the box which is impractical for such a thick needle blade. This is a cool looking knife in person. Can be sharpened if steel is 58+ HRC as specified. However, if the black finish falls a few millimeters from the edge, you may need to start sanding the surface to set the proper edge and ruin the cool factor. Update: Customer service was great and replaced the knife. The replacement looked better than the original. I bought a ceramic sharpener for the blade. Will…

I am a chef and have been in the industry for almost 20 years. I had my share of knives from well-known manufacturers. Nobody stands up to Dalstrong. The Shadow Black series is no exception. I bought an 8 inch chef's knife in 2020 and this knife was recently stolen from me at work. I tried using the knives that were provided to us, but after a year with my Shadow Black 8" chef's knife, all the other knives felt clunky and clunky. 2 days without it and I had to go back and buy a second one. It…

but Dalstrong seems to have lowered the price at some point. While it's certainly sharp (I easily shaved a small spot on my wrist with it), the faceted grip isn't comfortable at all, it doesn't feel as well balanced as the Gladiator, and they even seemed to make the packaging cheaper, since we've bought it before. The sheath is really flimsy junk plastic compared to what came with our Gladiator series knives. They even threw away the "lucky coin" that came with the Gladiator series knives and…

Update: Dalstrong customer service contacted me quickly after learning of my problems with the knife and sent me a replacement very quickly! They really care about their customers and product quality. The new knife is instantly sharp and has no problem getting a grip on water. This time they succeeded. Reliable customer service and reliable product. 10/10 Dalstrong you had my support even with a knife I was having trouble with but now you have locked me up forever. Thanks very much! Original…

Update: changed to 5 stars Well Dalstrong your customer service convinced me with a replacement the next day. This knife was razor sharp and represented the brand much better. + 1 star for customer service. + star for the quality of the replacement. Original: I've been using Dalstrong in my kitchen for 3 years and own several products from their line. In particular, I've bought a few in the last 6 months. I received an email from their VIP team informing me of the new launch and I went to…

I am a home cook who cooks every day. In search of the perfect chef's knife, I was drawn to the unique design of Dalstrong's Shadow Black series. When I received the knife I was amazed at the packaging. With the case's magnetic pull tab, padded interior, and included safety pin, the packaging heightened my anticipation for the knife itself. My first impressions of the knife itself were pretty good. The grip material is one of the best I've ever felt. It's grippy enough that the knife doesn't…

Everything in my kitchen reflects who I am in many ways. I love to cook and have always viewed kitchen utensils as an extension of my style and creativity. So when Dalstrong came out with their new Shadow Black Series, I was completely intrigued. This knife is completely different from the knives in their Shogun, Gladiator and Phantom lines - all lines that I own and love for their own unique qualities. The first thing that will strike you about this Shadow Black Series chef's knife is how it…

Beautifully designed cutlery that is functional, comfortable and extremely sharp. The box it comes in is so pretty you can put something nicely designed in it with a scabbard and a metal Dalstrong needle. So if you're gifting it, it's perfect. I have already bought the twin pros which are made in Germany and although I love them they just looked like two classics…. They look like every other knife in every kitchen across America and I wanted something more modern and different and it definitely
