The Dalstrong Gladiator Series 5” straight-edged steak knives are meal-time masters when meat is on the menu. Ruthlessly sharp with a handsome design, the knives’ complement and enhance any dinner or lunch-time engagement. From the thickest cuts of rib-eye steak to tender chicken cordon bleu and everything in between, the Gladiator Series straight-edge steak knives ensure effortless slicing. These high performance blades are sure to impress both guests and yourself as they sail through meat, giving you perfectly clean, straight slices, ensuring all the juice and flavor remain inside each and every bite. The rock-hollow divots further minimize friction and stuck on food, while the included sheaths protect the edge of the blades as well as fingers. If you desire exceptional performance, impeccable craftsmanship, legendary customer service and pure, authentic design that looks good on any tabletop, the Gladiator Series belong in your hands. The Gladiator Series blades are precision forged from a single piece of imported premium quality, high-carbon ThyssenKrupp German steel, ensuring an ultra sharp edge with excellent wear and stain resistance. Hand sharpened to 16-18 degrees per side, the blades require minimal maintenance and are a breeze to clean. Featuring a beautiful, ergonomic and ambidextrous imported black pakkawood handle imported from Spain (laminated for extra strength, sanitation and water/stain resistance) the Gladiator Series steak knives are carefully designed for maximum control and effectiveness. Each knife is as pleasing to hold as it is to look at, featuring a perfectly engineered balance with a satisfying heft and presence. 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.
