## Description

Named after one of the most famous Gladiators ever to enter the Coliseum, 'The Crixus' chef knife is a specialty blade designed for meat lovers and BBQ enthusiasts. Part chef knife, part cleaver, this hybrid is the go-to tool of choice for those who prep meat, and lots of it! The curved profile allows for clean, perfect slices through flesh, skin, and sinew, while the width and weighted front half let you chop like a cleaver for easy sectioning and portioning. The hole allows for hanging the knife, or store in the included PerfectFit sheath. Poultry, beef, pork, wild game, and even fruits and veggies easily fall prey to this blade, which is versatile enough to handle much more beyond proteins. You may find yourself never reaching for a conventional chef's knife again. Featuring a beautiful, ergonomic and ambidextrous G10 Garolite handles (laminated for extra strength, sanitation, and water/stain resistance) the Gladiator Series is carefully designed for maximum comfort and maneuverability. The knife is as pleasing to hold as it is to look at, featuring a perfectly engineered balance with satisfying heft and presence. Perfectly weighted to handle both thicker, heavy duty cuts and more delicate detail work. The hand polished bolster adds counter weight and offers finger protection, while the triple rivets (with signature Dalstrong center rivet) in the handle ensures the highest level of strength and robustness.

Review: Un cuchillo que impresiona, gran diseño tanto del cuchillo como la caja y funda de la hoja. Lo volvería a adquirir
Review: I don’t like giving out five stars, but I really, really like this knife. It is my fourth Dalstrong kitchen knife and it does not disappoint. Presentation is “special occasion” worthy since it comes in its own sleeved case and fitted box. My kids love the metal badge that comes with it that I am sure I would adorn if I were a professional, uniformed, chef. The custom molded scabbard is stout and not a simple piece of plastic. The initial appearance of the knife is impressive and intimidating to those who do not know knives. To someone who appreciates metal, the sight of the knife makes you salivate since the overall shape of this Crixus is truly unique. It’s a mix between pirate and huntsman style cutlery, just amped-up a bit. Perfect knife for someone who likes to prepare foods with a little extra flare and fan-fare. The actual use and feel of the knife in hand is surprising. The knife is large and longer than your average chef knife, but the blade feels light in your hand. This is an added benefit for the long hours of food prep and not wanting a blade that is heavy to wield. I have other Dalstrong knives that are much thicker and heavy to use after prolonged use. This knife is easy to handle and maneuver to get into and cut joint/ligament areas without having to reposition your meaty portion. The handle feels good in hand even when wet with water and even offers a good grip with fatty oils/blood. The wood handle offers an advantage over the synthetics by appearing smooth but still offering a slight texture. The cut profile of the blade is extremely narrow for the size of the blade. This adds to the ease of slicing through thick cuts of roasts and loins. This blade will chop through chicken bones, but I would not recommend it for whacking through pork bone beyond 1/2” and definitely no on beef bones and sugar cane. The blade edge is crazy sharp. I have sharpened many knives at home and professionally at work. This is the first knife, out of the box that I have been not only able to effortlessly slice through a sheet of paper, but I’ve been able to gently chop delicate slivers of paper off just by a light flick of the wrist while holding the knife. The sharpness is exhilarating! Knife is not for dishwasher. If you are putting your sharp kitchen knives in the dishwasher, then you need not purchase this knife. You need to just grab one of those colorful knives in those plastic multi-packs hanging in the Walmart aisle. Blade cleans up well with hot water and soap. Dry it immediately since the high carbon blade gets spots and/or tarnishes overnight. My girlfriend had washed one of my Dalstrong knives (just perfectly as she was supposed to, but got distracted and let it air dry causing water spots from our hard water). Spots come out easily with a polish cloth and/or a light scuff with a blue scour pad. All high carbon, high quality knives will suffer the same fate from prolonged immersion in water. I whole-heartedly recommend this knife to professionals and those who want an economically affordable, high quality knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this knife go from $35 to $50 and now to $60? It’s too bad, was gonna be my 4th gladiator knife but not after a $25 markup for the same knife**
A: I bought the 12” Knife and already have a great set of knives. It’s worth $100 all day. Very Large knife, superbly made and can be passed on to your children if it’s properly maintained. Impressive that it was once available for $35. The fact that it was once available for $35 doesn’t mean it’s not worth $100. I recall it being cheaper as well, but I didn’t buy one. I regret that I didn’t buy one at the lower price, but am not at all disappointed with the $87 before, a little over $100 after tax, that I paid for this quality knife.

**Q: How thick is the blade for the 12"?. Can I use this to slaughter Pig?9**
A: Thank you for asking. The blade thickness is 3.0MM. And yes, you can use it for slaughtering a pig but for chicken and pork bones we would suggest the Gladiator Series The Ravager Cleaver or the Gladiator Series R The Obliterator Cleaver. And for beef bones, it may need a meat saw.

**Q: Hey Dalstrong - When will this be available again?**
A: no thanks

**Q: When will this be available again?**
A: Yes
