Let me start by saying I have many knives. I have Yaxell Gou's, Wusthof Culinar's, Dalstrong Shogun and Gladiator, Chicago Cutlery, etc. Outside of the kitchen I have a good connection of folders with several ZDP-189 Spyderco's.
I'll start by saying I generally think Dalstrong is overpriced made in China Japanese wanna be cutlery but the company does stand by their product and put a lot of time into making customers happy. See my other reviews on Dalstrongs.
In this case I was pleasantly surprised. I got this early in the Dalstrong launch. The knife came sharp, the grind was good generally good design etc. Is it a Yaxell Gou, absolutely not. Is it a good knife for the price? Yes.
I used it to slice homemade Bacon on the first cut. It did a great job, cut straight. The blade was straight front to back. I'm happy with the quality on this knife and the performance for the price for hardened German steel.
The fit and finish was good but not great. What you would expect at this price range.
I also used the knife to cut brisket as I live in Texas. The crust doesn't slice as well as a $30 dollar scalloped dexter russell. Those points just penetrate the crust better. Still, for many things I'm pretty happy and this is serving the purpose I bought it for.
Update:
I now have the shogun. For the cost the gladiator is a better deal. It's not as solid feeling and doesn't have as much back to the knife but will do the job as a slicer. It's a touch longer in the handle than the Shogun as pictured.

How To Hold A Slicing Knife
A Minute To Learn, A Lifetime To Master
Learning to safely handle your knife increases precision & efficiency in the kitchen. A hammer grip is the simplest & most natural way to hold a knife. Wrap all 5 fingers around the handle, making no contact with the blade. For more dexterity & control, consider the "pinch grip". Wrap your middle, pinky & index finger around the handle. Put your bent index finger on one side of the blade, just ahead of the bolster, with your thumb on the other side "pinching" the blade between your two fingers.
-
Easy to Care For
Less maintenance so you can spend more time cooking. The Gladiator Series washes up quick with soap and water. Let air dry, or gently wipe off excess water before storing safety in the included PerfectFit sheath. Ideal for protecting your blade both at home and on the go.

Nice Slicer for the Price
Let me start by saying I have many knives. I have Yaxell Gou's, Wusthof Culinar's, Dalstrong Shogun and Gladiator, Chicago Cutlery, etc. Outside of the kitchen I have a good connection of folders with several ZDP-189 Spyderco's.I'll start by saying I generally think Dalstrong is overpriced made in China Japanese wanna be cutlery but the company does stand by their product and put a lot of time into making customers happy. See my other reviews on Dalstrongs.In this case I was pleasantly surprised. I got this early in the Dalstrong launch. The knife came sharp, the grind was good generally good design etc. Is it a Yaxell Gou, absolutely not. Is it a good knife for the price? Yes.I used it to slice homemade Bacon on the first cut. It did a great job, cut straight. The blade was straight front to back. I'm happy with the quality on this knife and the performance for the price for hardened German steel.The fit and finish was good but not great. What you would expect at this price range.I also used the knife to cut brisket as I live in Texas. The crust doesn't slice as well as a $30 dollar scalloped dexter russell. Those points just penetrate the crust better. Still, for many things I'm pretty happy and this is serving the purpose I bought it for.Update:I now have the shogun. For the cost the gladiator is a better deal. It's not as solid feeling and doesn't have as much back to the knife but will do the job as a slicer. It's a touch longer in the handle than the Shogun as pictured.

What needs work, I would have liked a more robust offset kind of a handle. So my knuckles don’t hit the cutting board to get thru the final cut but I think with proper technique you don’t need this. A bigger handle would be more comfortable overall. Other than that. I like the sharpness, the-dimples on the blade the case and the sheathe.
