Razor Sharp and Built Like A Gladiator. Featuring Japanese AUS-8 steel beautifully engraved with the Dalstrong name down the spine as well as the Japanese kanji for 'phantom' or 'ghost', the Dalstrong Phantom Series are a masterful statement in culinary expertise. Each blade is painstakingly hand sharpened using the traditional honzabuke method, bringing the edge to a razor sharp 13-15 degrees, ensuring swift, effortless cuts. Precision forged from a single piece of ice tempered steel, the blade features a narrower width for improved agility and maneuverability, with a traditional Japanese D-shaped black pakkawood handle designed to tuck perfectly in the palm of your hand.

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.

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.

Keep Your Edge. You take great pride and care in your knives and tools. Protect your investment by learning how to use a whetstone to ensure your knives are always ready for any culinary challenge. Sharper knives are safer because they slice, rather than slipping or tearing.
