Dalstrong Chef & Cleaver Hybrid Knife - The 'Crixus' - 8 inch - Valhalla Series - 9CR18MOV HC Steel - Resin & Wood Handle - Razor Sharp Chef's Knife - w/Leather Sheath

Wow this knife is just awesome so beautifull. It came verry well packed. I have alote of knives it is by far my favorite. Now i want the rest of the collection ! It is confortable and have a good Weigt. Cant tell for the edge lasting but it is supposed to be 60 hrc so it should be a good balance of edge lasting and easy sharpening.

Let me start by saying their biggest single mistake is calling this a cleaver as well as a chefs knife. This is a chefs knife. It is absolutely not a cleaver. If you use this as a cleaver, which means using powerful hit against a butchers block, you will damage the knife if not chip it. #1 it’s light #2 it’s thin. Those alone make for a terrible cleaver. It’s not a cleaver. You can’t put a hang hole on a knife and call it a cleaver. It is however a beautiful, very sharp, light, balanced chefs knife. It’s amazing. It’s comfortable. It’s everything a chefs knife should be. Thick base for your thumb, weight distribution is excellent. Incredibly sharp. I give it 5 starts as a chefs knife. I’d give it 1 for a cleaver. It’s not a cleaver so they messed up calling it one. Regardless, beautiful chefs knife. Highly recommend this CHEFS knife.

Love this product. Makes cutting everything easy.

There really isn't anything to dislike about this Dalstrong Valhalla Crixus knife. The workmanship is overall exceptional. It is very comfortable to hold for either slicing or chopping. The blade is made from a 9CR18MOV 5 layer steel with a 60+ Rockwell Hardness which means it will hold a great edge over numerous uses. It is a full tang blade that is precisely tempered and has a beautiful sandblasted finish. The handle is made from stabilized wood and premium resin. The detail in the handle is extremely good looking with a nice smooth finish. It is overall a very well balanced knife that will not wear out your hand or wrist after lots of use. This comes all packaged in Dalstrong's premium packaging. Included is the knife, a Leather PU Sheath, and the Valhalla Series Pin. This knife fits its way into any cooks kitchen and will slice, dice, and chop with the best of them as well as be a conversation piece.

This will change who you are in the kitchen! Super, ridiculously sharp. Edge has not changed since purchase and I use this for everything! Weight and shape is well balanced, which makes utilization super easy. So very much worth the cost, no regrets!
