Questions & Answers

In what sense is this equivalent to grit?

Initially, thanks for your interest and in re response to your question, the Gladiator Series does not have a grit level as it is not made to be sharpened In fact, this product is not designed to sharpen (which means removing the steel from the blade) but rather it has ridges on it to realign the edge and remove

Are these also compatible with the Shogun series knives?

A steel honing rod should not be used with Shogun Series knives because the AUS-44 steel is not suitable for such an application To begin with, 10V steel is hard enough as it is. If you really need to do this for professional use, you would do better to use medium fine ceramic rod (around #1200 grit).

A pile of soft pot metal filled with junk, not solid
3/5

It is a waste of money and a waste of time! Dropping mine caused it to break in half at the hilt. The sharpening surface is not solid steel like one might expect, but rather a steel skin filled with It makes me reconsider collecting the entire Gladiator line of knives, as well as other Dalstrong products, based on this knife's failure to meet quality standards. The following edits have been made I found the customer service to be great to deal Assuring me that the knives were solid metal and were not filled with pot metal as the honing steels, they released the following statement. I received both a refund of the purchase price and a sharpening stone set from them. This knife is very nice, and I will continue to collect them.

The kitchen has to have this essential item! The Gladiator Honing Rod is of the same superb quality and outstanding beauty that is synonymous with Dalstrong products
5/5

A knife honing steel is an essential tool for keeping the edge of your blade aligned and free of Thanks to its 10 inches length, it is even possible to properly hone larger knives. With any Dalstrong knife, the handle features an ergonomic solid grip and a bolster that adds visual appeal. Hand polished Pakkawood is used for this knife handle, which is part of the Gladiator Series. Honing steel rods are essential for a knife enthusiast who wants to keep their knives in tip-top shape The best shape of your life.

The best honing steel on the market
5/5

This product looks great and feels great. Just what I was looking for for my Phantom For those who are curious, honing steels do not sharpen blades or remove material, they straighten an already sharp edge back out for better performance and maintain blade sharpness for a longer period between sharpening sessions.

I have been told by Dalstrong that it is not recommended for the Shogun series due to the hardness of the steel. In terms of what this product does, it won't let you down if you know what it is. It is important, however, to obtain a whetstone with a 1000/6000 grit and learn how to sharpen your knives properly.

It has a rough, uncomfortable handle and a sharp blade
4/5

Originally published as Although I was initially not satisfied with the piece that I received, the customer service department deserves a lot of credit for the way they handled it. I received an immediate response from them and it was resolved within seconds. As a result, I believe the article just slipped through quality control (which happens to every single business out there) and is not representative of all of the company's Each blade I have used it on has been able to get a renewed razor sharp edge thanks to the steel itself. In my opinion, Dalstrong is an excellent choice. This is the original review Having opened this piece after opening the Shogun series knife I also ordered from Dalstrong, I was intrigued by the design. A five-star review is in order for this knife. The piece was really remarkable. Although this steel appeared to have been omitted from quality control, it is still quite useful. There is nothing wrong with the steel, but it is Overhanging the wooden grip, the wooden handle is sharp, rough, and uncomfortable because the tang is so far away from the grip. don't know if it skipped a step in the sanding or finishing process, but it was a real disappointment after seeing how good the knife they sent me was. I'm not sure if this is indeed a lemon or if it is just a difference in product range. In any case, quality control doesn't seem to be satisfactory here. Despite the luck I had with the knife, I think I will send this one back to the store.

THE QUALITY IS GREAT AT THE PRICE
5/5

I am impressed! Unlike the others I've bought from Dalstrong before, I was not disappointed with this purchase. down, one of the best quality knife companies you can find. I love the packaging and quality of the product as well as the length that is perfect for my knives. The sharpening steel works great and has great quality. A beautiful handle and a perfect fit into my knife block make this knife an ideal choice for any kitchen. You can't beat the Dalstrong sharpener when you think about the well made quality product and low price! If you want a good knife sharpener which you can rely on, then buy.

It's all about balance, and the edges are perfect
5/5

Please, hurry up! This is a well-balanced and meaty dish. It's wonderful to have steel like this. With an old cheapie that popped out of the handle for no apparent reason, I struggled. With this steel, you can rest assured that the tang will never separate, which makes for a great balance. Rock steady means smooth edges, which means sharp blades quickly. I just dusted off some cheap knives with this steel and within half a dozen strokes they were razor sharp again. When I am gone, my kids will fight about this knife, just like they do with my 8" Gladiator series chef knife from Dalstrong.

I love these knives
5/5

They're great, the company is great, and there are no hidden fees. Purchasing this eighth set of Chefs Knives for my grandson completes the set I am building. Dalton cutlery appears to be well made, and can be found at reasonable prices, so a aspiring chef should consider the Gladiator series if they choose it. It appears on several of my cooking how to videos on my Facebook pages that this brand and series is associated with. I am very satisfied with the quality of the packaging, the knife guards are thoughtful when considering the investment, and the feel of the product is comparable with my Wustoffs. One of the paring knives I received was a gift from a friend, and I ordered three for friends. It is a great tool for cutting with. * I almost forgot to purchase honing steel, but German steel is softer than Japanese steel, and I almost forgot to order it. We're happy to report that German steel takes to sharpening at home better than other steels. I'm glad that Amazon has found such an excellent partner in this company - thank you for finding one! * By the way, thank you for visiting. A real joy to use is the Gladiator sandwich knife. One as unique as this has never happened before.

5/5

The box feels solid, and has been efficient in preserving my knives, so I can use them for cutting meats, vegetables, etc.

Plus, the manufacturer also includes a few other goodies in the box to make you feel brand loyal.
