Customers like the sharpness of the kitchen knife. They say that it is freaking sharp out of the box, and retains its edge. It cuts vegetables very well, and it performs as perfectly as it looks. Customers also say that the blade is astonishingly thin and light.

"...entire knife is forged from a single piece of steel and it is exceptionally sharp, with fantastic edge retention...." Read more

"...more room for air coming in between fish, which makes the cut more smooth and easy with much less contact with fish and less friction...." Read more

"...The blade could have been a little smoother, but it cuts vegetables very well...." Read more

115 customers mention99 positive16 negative

"...Overall, I'd say this is another solid build product, beautifully designed and functional as the other 2 Dalstrong shogun knives I owned...." Read more

72 customers mention69 positive3 negative

Customers are satisfied with the comfort of the kitchen knife. They mention that the handle is comfortable, enough to hold an edge, and not so soft that it's a pain to sharpen.

71 customers mention53 positive18 negative

Customers like the weight of the kitchen knife. They say it's lighter than expected, heavy, and has a good feel to it. The weight keeps them in control and prevents them from pushing it through. Some say the design is a little thick and heavy, but overall, customers are satisfied with the weight.

"...The Santoku design is shorter, lighter, thinner, than a traditional Western chef's knife...." Read more

"...It feels very heavy and thick in my hand, and the design is a little different than a regular yanagiba...." Read more

"...It is VERY handle heavy. That also makes it unlike a real Japanese santoku...." Read more

"...to be the same to the naked eye (as expected), although the weight did feel a bit better on the new one (maybe just in my mind?)...." Read more

48 customers mention48 positive0 negative

Customers like the balance of the kitchen knife. They mention that the balance feels perfect, the weight is very balanced, and the counter balance on the end cap helps in maintaining their grip. Some customers also appreciate the long blade and the pakkawood handle.

"...The knife is well balanced, feels nimble in the hand and has a nice pakkawood handle, part of which jets out along the side for comfort...." Read more

"...The balance feels perfect, the food slips off the blade each and every time without sticking, the blade is high enough to protect my knuckles from..." Read more

"...me to safely keep it close at hand, and the steeply angled, perfectly balanced blade carve through giant steaks like butter. 10/10" Read more

"...Thin, strong blade, razor sharp straight out of the box, perfectly balanced, and exceptionally comfortable to hold...." Read more

43 customers mention29 positive14 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the edge of the kitchen knife. Some say that the steel is meh but it does hold an edge, albeit not as long or as well as other steels like AUS-10. Some customers also say that that the knife guard does not hold it in and that the blade slips out constantly.

"...a single piece of steel and it is exceptionally sharp, with fantastic edge retention...." Read more

"...The edge retention is outstanding, the handle comfortable, and the weight is amazing when your in a kitchen for hours!..." Read more

"...'s called a "softer" steel, and tends--TENDS--to perform a little less robustly in edge retention than other steels like AUS-10 and VG-10...." Read more

"...a kiritsuke-yanagi. Steel is meh but it does hold an edge, albeit not as long or as well as ZDJ-189 or Aogami super...." Read more

The Phantom Series Raises The Bar Again
I admit it. Over the past couple of years, I have become a knife snob. I’m NOT a professional chef by any means, but I do love to spend time in my kitchen and I do love to cook. I have been using Dalstrong knives for over a year now because in my opinion, they are truly the best knives out there. I knew when the Phantom Series of Dalstrong Knives came out, I was going to want them in my kitchen.The Phantom Series knives are different from the other Dalstrong knives in several beautiful ways. The Santoku knife does come in a magnetic closure box that is perfect for gift giving, even if that gift is just for yourself. This is consistent with how the other knives in the other series come. Printed on the inside of the lid you will find detailed information about what makes the blade and handle of your knife so special. As you remove the contents from the box you will find several items included with your knife. New to this series is a small Dalstrong coin on a red string. This coin is unique for each knife in the Phantom series and is not included with the Gladiator or Shogun series knives. You will find a polishing cloth for your knife, a detailed and actually interesting color photo booklet telling you about the history, care and construction/design of your knife. A card is also included that tells you about their VIP program and another card giving you information about reaching customer service.When you remove your knife from it's custom cut cushioning inside the box, you will see it comes inside it's own protective sheath. What is new with the Phanton Series knives is how the sheath is designed. Unlike the sheathes that come with the Shogun and Gladiator Series knives, these are designed to open through a hinged system to expose the blade rather than to simply slide on and off the blade. This is a significant new safety feature in my opinion. Having been in the medical field for over 2 decades, one of the things we NEVER do is recap a needle when we are finished. This was to prevent accidental needle sticks to the practitioner. I see this as a similar safety measure for the kitchen since you are no longer trying to slide the blade back inside a sheath, but you can close a hinged sheath around it and help prevent accidental injury.Once unsheathed, you will see even more definitive design changes. The blade is beautifully engraved and branded on both sides. This engraving does not interfere at all with your precise cuts and the blade cleans up after use so easily. The entire knife is forged from a single piece of steel and it is exceptionally sharp, with fantastic edge retention. Looking straight down from the top of the blade, you will be amazed at just how thin and razor sharp that edge actually is. The traditional Japanese D-shaped handle fits perfectly into the palm of your hand and is made from black Spanish pakkawood. The handle is attached to the knife with a mosaic pin of brass and copper that is also quite artistic and beautiful. There is not one detail that has been overlooked in the design of this knife.Performance - ultimately this is what really counts. I was able to prepare some of the vegetables and the herbs and spices for a beautiful stir fry dinner in just minutes using this knife. The blade is ideal for three specific cutting tasks which the knife performs well: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The Santoku knife relies more on a single downward cut and even landing from heel to tip, thus using less of a rocking motion than other styles of cutlery. The Santoku design is shorter, lighter, thinner, than a traditional Western chef's knife. I used this knife for slicing my zucchini and squash, dicing the onions and herbs and mincing the garlic cloves. Because of the handle design, this can all be done quite comfortably and with uniform precision. Clean up consisted of nothing more than a quick rinse under running water and a wipe with the cleaning cloth. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I would have absolutely no problem recommending this knife to both professionals and amateur chefs alike.
