DALSTRONGVegetable 8" Chef Knife - Gladiator Series Elite - Forged High Carbon German Steel - Full Tang - Black G10 Handle - w/Sheath Cover - Kitchen Cooking Knife - NSF Certified

This is my second Dalstrong knife, I bought the chef’s knife first. The vegetable knife works great, the slices don’t stick to it and it is super sharp.

I've been looking at the Deflector for a while and finally bought one since I find having veggies ride up the side of my knife very annoying. First off, the knife worked as advertised. I cut up a bunch of potatoes for soup and nary a piece rode up the blade, they all fell off cleanly to the side.Second off, the fit and finish my Deflector is excellent. I bought the Gladiator 7" Santuko a number of years ago and was pleased with it's heft but there were minor fit and finish issues. While it's handle looked fine, I could feel spots were the metal rivets and tang weren't flush with the handle material. Also, the part were the bolster met the edge of the blade was a bit crude. Nether were serious enough to return the knife but were noticeable. On my Deflector, the entire handle was perfectly smooth and were the bolster met the blade edge was very refined.Third off, I had some concerns with the design of the deflector that kept me from buying it right away. In the photos of the knife the cut out sections of the blade have hard corners. Such corners in metal are a big no-no since they focus stress and can cause cracks. Granted that shouldn't be an issue with this knife unless you beat the hell out of it. Also, there were some complaints in reviews about the edges of the cut outs and ridges were too pronounced and caused irritation with some people's hands. Much to my surprise the Deflector I received was noticeably different from the photos. The cut out corners were rounded and the ridge edges were smoothed over. Kudos to Dalstrong for fixing those drawbacks. I suggest they replace the existing photos in their ads with photos of the upgraded version.I'm very pleased with my Deflector and it will be my go to knife when chopping up bunches of veggies.

awesome knife, wifey loves it & keeps it hidden from me. LOL

We were not disappointed! While good knives are pricey I was very pleased with the overall workmanship, heft and sharpness. Packaging was excellent!

The design is pretty neat - when slicing vegetables you won't have so much of the material sticking to the blade as it's designed with a small ridge that sort of lifts it away and out from the blade surface as you're cutting - very smart.Seems to hold an edge really well. We like this one a lot.

As a cafe’s prep cook in a very small kitchen, having a knife that is so versatile is a must and this one checked all the boxes. It is beautifully made, very sharp, well balanced, and slice cheeses and vegetables and salmon easily. This is now my favorite knife to use everyday.

Love the high quality. Lightweight, sharp, slices through everything with ease. I thought it might be smaller from picture, but I love the big size.

This vegetable knife outperformed my expectations. I sliced 5lbs of onions and 10lbs of potatoes without anything sticking to the knife. Only downside for myself (And it's just me), was the blade was a little thin. Other than that, I am throughly happy with this knife. Fyi. I love the gladiator series (Personal preference).

Grand couteau très pratique pour les légumes. En effet, les rainures sur le côté de la lame empêchent les lamelles découpées de rester collées entre elles. Évidemment très tranchant, attention aux doigts. La prise en main est excellente. Livré dans un beau coffret, il peut aisément faire un beau cadeau. Pour finir, l'acier est de très bonne qualité. Je recommande pour les amateurs de couteaux de cuisine de qualité.

ottima maneggevolezza

Amazingly sharp and stylish knife that glides effortlessly through vegetables and meat alike. Feels balanced in the hand and like all Dalstrong knives, offers great value for money. This is the fourth Dalstrong knife I've bought and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The slots in the blade work similar to a fluted edge. My only gripe with it is the fact that your knuckles will take a hammering with extended use.

The blade is so dull it won't even cut a carrot. Very disappointing from Darlstrong , usually they come razor sharp and ready for use. This time , this knife , I am going to have to run it over the whetstones. Feels good in my hand though and it's well built. *Updated , now that I've sharpened it you can see that food gets lodged in the holes and I find myself spending more time trying to pick all the bits out. Saying that , it is practical a a fillet knife on larger fish such as Chilian Sea Bass , whole Cod and fresh lime caught Salmon.
