Dalstrong Nakiri Knife - 7 inch - Valhalla Series - 9CR18MOV High Carbon Steel - Vegetable Kitchen Knife - Celestial Resin & Wood Handle - Razor Sharp Asian Knife Gift- w/Sheath

Holy moly this is the real deal!! I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but I received an amazing knife that blows me away. The Dalstrong Vahalla Series Satoku knife with leather sheath was a great purchase and I am going to grab another one from this brand and series as well. Probably the Chef’s Knife next. Such a beautiful knife and I love the sheath to protect the blade. I am so happy to have found this knife. It’s razor sharp and I sliced a tomato with it as its test case and was able to make paper thin slices. And it is versatile too. I chopped some onions effortlessly and no crushing which means no tearing up. It is just so nice to have a real knife and I can’t wait to have a second one shortly. Thank you.

Have been a big fan of Dalstong knives for quite awhile and I was not disappointed with this one! It's a gift but maybe I'll keep if for myself 😊 I have small hands and this 7" Santoku is easy for me to hold and has great balance. I have other Dalstrong knives and I find they hold a sharp edge much longer than some other brands do and it is easy to sharpen yourself should you need to just to keep the razor sharp edge. Personally I feel it is a great price for exceptional quality and you will not be disappointed in your purchase 5 Stars for this one !

Great brisket knife

I love Dalstrong knives more than anything in my house, so let me just cut to the chase, buy it. If there was a house fire, and I could only grab one item, I’m grabbing my knife. I am constantly in the kitchen, and their nakiri knives are my absolute favorite. I use it exclusively for 99.9% of my cooking needs. My husband bought me one of their 7” nakiri knives (Gladiator series) about 5 or so years ago as a present, and it is still in immaculate condition even with heavy everyday usage. We moved recently, and he bought me this Valhalla version of the 7” nakiri. I was practically jumping up and down. These knives will last you a lifetime if you take care of them, and their customer service is top-notch. The weight is absolutely perfect. Theyre full tang. Very sharp, and lovely to hold when you have to prep tons of stuff in the kitchen. Plus, they’re just beautiful to look at. Look no further. Dalstrong is THE best. Yes, they’re pricey, but once you use a Dalstrong knife, you will never go back.

UPDATE: I have been using this knife constantly since I purchased it, to the point where I now feel sorry for the other ones in my collection, this knife is just that awesome!! I have since purchased the paring knife and now the santoku knife, all from this Valhalla collection, reviews on those coming soon. I just can not get enough of this knife!! Buy it, you will NOT be sorry. Oh, and I also purchased their Ulu knife as well. The Nakiri is my favorite kitchen knife and I have 4 of them, and I have been looking at this beauty for some time, but it is expensive, so finally I was lucky enough to be able to purchase it and patiently waited the 2 days to receive it. I kept checking to see how many stops away it was, but sadly it arrived pretty late and I was really tired, but opening this knife woke me right up!! The beauty of this knife is undeniable, the first thing I did was grab a piece of paper and it glided through it like butter, I just can't stop staring at this gorgeous knife!!! I always plan meals in advance, but tonight I changed my meal plan so I can cut tons of veggies with my new knife, and the sheath it comes with is just gorgeous too!! This is a knife I really want to display so I can just stare at it, I have a beautiful edge grain teakwood cutting board which I display on my counter, what better place to display this gorgeous knife than right on that board!!! I am soooo happy with it!

This knife is made of high quality steel. Has the perfect weight and fits nicely in my hand. It’s easy to use and functions exactly as you would expect this thing is super sharp.

Arrived timely- packaging was quite stunning. A real show stopper if you gave as a gift to a home cook or unprofessional chef. Handle mis very light, so depending on how you like you blades weighted (I prefer my japanese with heavier handles). It is a blended handle with a easy bolster- I dont mind the ergonomics for pinch gripping, just with there was more heft to it. The steel is a 'mystery', but I would say it is closer to a VG10 steel but softer elements (not a heavier carbon- no staining). I generally use very long 9" chefs blades- but was seeking something a bit more compact and liked the idea of that neat point (for on site camping, hunting, etc). The finishing was poor with a nasty mark on the bolster- I wish they spent the money on finishing rather than packaging- however it really impressed my husband who is definitely more form over function in comparison to myself. Overall, im keeping it, and will use it often. This type of steel really lends itself to basically a all purpose, indestructable 7" santoku with a aesthetic flare for the dramatic ;)

This knife was a gift from my mother for graduating culinary school at the ripe old age of 50. I use the knife professionally and at home. Razor sharp edge perfect for cutting everything thin and sexy.

Qualité excellente

So after reading a few reviews saying the blade is not razor sharp i was a little concerned. However i purchased anyway. I cook all the time and my equipment is important to me. This knife is mint, balance , weight, feel, cutting angle all spot on and i love it. BEWARE - Who said it wasn’t sharp out the box?!!! So after using the knife for the first time and prepping dinner for the evening i washed the knife and while drying it off it slipped out my hands and landed on my thumb. Fortunately i had a bone in my thumb or id probably have lost it. Glue and stitches later i was home from A&E. WOW what a knife i love it and i can confirm its razor sharp!! Best knife i have ever purchased.

Got it for my Boyfriend who is a head chef for christmas he absolutely loves it!

I've been a fan of Dalstrong knife for a long time now so when my wife said she wanted a Nakiri knife, I did not hesitate and got her that one. that knife will last her a very long time. Super sharp, looks amazing, easy to handle. what else can you ask for? don't hesitate!

I love this knife. This seriers is beautiful. I also have the 7 inche slicer. They go on the knife block to be seen.
