Review: Extremely Well Crafted Knife - When I received my DALSTRONG knife, the first thing I noticed was the high quality the packaging. The box was extremely well made and the fit and finish was perfect. The inner box was wrapped by an outer sleeve, and it took some work to slide the box out. The knife box was very well crafted, which is rare these days. Most companies would skimp on the packaging, but you can tell that DALSTRONG feels very strongly about the quality of anything with their name on it. That says a lot, people. Upon opening the box, I was impressed that my Gladiator Series Cleaver was firmly secured in a rubberized form contained within the box. The knife was also secured within a protective sheath. I removed the knife from said sheath and was impressed with the shine and beautiful finish on the knife. The knife is very well made and heavy. No cheap, poor quality Chinese steel here. The blade was razor sharp, with a near mirror finish, and the well crafted handle felt good in my hand. Very balanced. I have very large hands, but this knife felt very substantive and comfortable.I couldn't wait to use it. I normally use standard chef's knives and not a large cleaver. I will use this knife primarily for chopping vegetables and splitting chicken. We eat a lot of vegetables with every meal, and I separate or split whole chickens 2-3 times a week, so it will get used almost daily. This was my first DALSTRONG purchase. I separated two whole chickens and diced mirepoix and some potatoes with ease. The knife did all the work and it made quick work of the chicken and vegetables. I cleaned the knife with hot water and soap and quickly dried it and placed it back in it's sheath and box, which fits nicely into my cutlery drawer. I'm very particular about my tools and keep everything from my shoes to my car in excellent condition. DALSTRONG makes it easy to store and keep an edge on this knife with their packaging. I am not a professional chef, but I know my way around the kitchen and will use this knife to prepare meals for my family. I would highly recommend this knife and I certainly will be buying more products from DALSTRONG. I can see that this knife will easily last many, many years. I'm big on quality cutlery and couldn't be happier. This type of quality would be a value at twice the price.
Review: I like it - Good quality, very sharp.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Width of knife spine?**
A: Thank you for your question and the total width of the knife is 67mm.

**Q: What is the amount of crhome in this knifes?**
A: Thank you for your question. The steel is composed of 17-19% chromium.

**Q: Can I store this blade on a magnetic knife strip?**
A: Thank you for your question. Yes, you most definitely can!

**Q: Will it cut chicken bones?  I searched "bone" in reviews and questions, and it seems it did back in 2017, but the newer version can't handle bones.**
A: Hi, thank you for your question. For cutting through poultry bones we would suggest our Ravager Knife, which is designed for the heavy butchery of bones. It should have no problems cutting through poultry bones, for just other types of bones that we cannot guarantee. Like most cleavers, it was not specifically designed for cutting through beef or pork bones. However, we have some customers who use it for these purposes without any issues, but just like to warn you that the knife may become dull more quickly if used on other types of bone. 

Should you ever have any questions please contact our team of customer service on our official website. We’re always here for our customers and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it
*by T***4 on January 11, 2026*

Good quality, very sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Impressions
*by N***E on December 16, 2018*

Hello everyone, I just received this beautiful hunk of German steel in the mail! First Impressions: very nicely packaged, worthy of gifting. The cleaver seems well made, fit and finish are good except the wood on either side of handle don't perfectly align, meaning if blade is resting on cutting board and you look straight down at top of handle the right side wood of handle goes toward blade maybe a millimeter further than left. No big deal for me just worth noting. I don't see any gaps between wood of handle and metal which is a good thing. Today I made a butternut squash soup and using this cleaver to break down the squash was way easier than using my chef knife. I basically purchased this cleaver to use like a very large nakiri vegetable knife for large produce; think whole heads of cabbage and the butternut squash I just mentioned. The cleaver seems sharp but not as sharp as say a Japanese chef knife but it's a trade off here, this is a very robust blade and you need an edge that holds up to very heavy use without the very annoying "chipping" phenomenon that plagues some razor blade edge chefs knives. This cleaver appears like it should not have that problem. The spine of the blade is squard and not rounded so pinch grip is not as comfortable and the edges of spine and fairly sharp. I don't mind in this case I do use the back of the spine for scraping so for me it works to have a slightly sharp edge, plus you don't risk dulling your edge prematurely. Overall I am very happy with this Cleaver it performed well for my intended use of it. I did not receive this item free in exchange for review, however I did purchasen this cleaver of a lightning deal for a reduced price. Thanks for puttingmup with my ramblings if you've made it this far. I will update this review as I use it more.
