8" Butcher and Brisket Knife - Forged German HC Steel

This knife has exceeded all expectations.

Handle is far too slick and the blade is rather flimsy.. good for home use only. This was my first impression after receiving a knife with a slight bend and a not so sharp blade.. but then Dalstrong stepped in and made it right! Let me start by saying that I am somewhat picky and very detail oriented.. After sharing my concerns with the customer service team, they were very prompt in making sure I was happy. Thy sent me another knife (no charge) to make up for it. The knife I received arrived in perfect condition and razor sharp. The handle took me a minute to get used to after using a different brand of knives for so long. However, if ya keep your cutting hand clean there shouldn't be any issues. The craftsmanship is extremely good and the packaging the knives come in immediately shows how much they care about what they're doing. Dalstrong customer service is the best I've ever experienced. They go above and beyond to assist and assure that the customer is satisfied. Even after they sent me a replacement knife, they still reached out to me again a couple weeks later to make sure i was happy with the product. I highly recommend Dalstrong knives.. I've only used the gladiator series, but if this is any indication of what to expect from the other offerings they have, I'm sure I'd be very pleased with any product coming from them. And knowing how strong the customer service department is and their concern for the customers satisfaction.. just makes it a no-brainer Highly recommended

This blade is a butcher's best friend! Lightweight and easy to maintain... Just doesn't get much better than that. I use this style blade most out of any in my arsenal and this one is the best I've ever used (12+ years in the buisness). The photos don't let you know just how light this blade is, and the balance is amazing. When you are standing over a cutting table for 10 hours a day that makes all the difference right there. I would go into everything I've used this blade on, but that would take way too long. This is my workhorse and let me tell you it performs amazingly well and holds a crazy edge. Haven't had to sharpen it yet but I'm sure that it will be a breeze too. Thanks folks at Dalstrong for another beautifully crafted tool for this hard working butcher!

This knife is AMAZING! I have multiple high end specialty knives and I was surprised at the quality of this knife given how much I paid for it. Very durable! I wanted a boning knife for brisket prep and this knife was perfect length for that. I use it frequently for day to day food prep as well. Buy it. You won’t be disappointed!

Excellent 😎

I haven't used the knife yet and will try to remember to update after I do. First impression is mixed. The balance is tip heavy, which not be the worst thing for this blade shape. The handles are nice and seem well attached but the tang is not even with the scales and protrudes slightly. Whether or not this will cause discomfort with continued use is too be seen. The worst impression thus far is the blade. The edge was rolled out of the box. Even after a quick hone on a steel, it's still not sharp. It has an edge. It's not dull but it's sure as hell not sharp. From the reviews I expected better. While this isn't an expensive knife, it's not cheap either. I'll give it a try and then see what kind of edge I can get on it and try it again but it's not looking great for future purchases. Update: I have used this knife for awhile now and it does a nice job of breaking down primals. The tang has caused no issues in the hand. I have not done any major work on the blade edge and it does a decent job of cutting. I'd buy another Dalstrong product.

I work with a guy who dry ages all kinds of meat. He told me if I was going to dry age a rib eye this is the knife to use. I ordered this knife and immediately fell in love with it even before I used it. It just felt right. I used it on my first dry age (45 days) 17 pound rib eye. This knife cut through the outer bark with ease and it was easy to maneuver around the individual steaks to trim the bark off. All my future specialty knives will be through this company.

Well build, very sharp, great for butchers !

Compré este cuchillo para utilizarlo exclusivamente en la carne de las barbacoas, y estoy muy contento con él. Lo estrené con unos chuletones de vaca y cortaba la carne y los tendones como si fuesen mantequilla, casi dejándolo caer solamente. Es muy buena compra, está muy bien afilado, es bonito y viene con una funda para la hoja y una caja para guardarlo. Lo recomiendo.

This is an excellent breaker and a must for any aspiring home butcher. My family typically buys our meat in bulk and a knife like this is an essential tool to making quick work of whole primals and large roasts. I've recently gotten into dry aging beef and this is a perfect knife for slicing even steaks from whole loins. As with all Dalstrong knives the packaging is second to none. The included knife guards are of high quality and internally lined with a soft material to prevent scratching or dulling the blade. An all around excellent value. Highly recommended

Looks a quality knife feels good in the hand looking forward to using it

Me gusto mucho el diseño y la calidad del cuchillo, corta la carne con una gran facilidad.

very sharp, appears great quality, time will tell how it lasts, great size for carving large joints. Just what I needed
