KNIVES:
These Dalstrong knives are a great set! They came on time and very well packaged with attention to details. I would say almost over packaged! But better well packaged then not enough as these knives are extremely sharp. They cut anything easily, they are sharp like the knife of Rambo in “Rambo – first blood”!! The blades are well made, strong and well balanced. The handles are of a nice light black/dark grey wood.
The wood block is solid and well made.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
I personally had a small problem with the wood block and I mentioned it to the associate that contacted me to see if I was happy with my purchase.
Dalstrong exceptional customer service took care of me no questions asked allowing me to choose between two options to get the issue fixed. They always responded within 24h or less and in my case they even got back to me on a Sunday!
I’m not sure where these knives are made but the company is based out of Toronto, Canada.
So far I’m very happy with my purchase and I hope to use these knives for a long time.
Go ahead and buy them, you will no regret it.
I uploaded some pictures and a video to get a better perspective of these knives.

You buy a knife set for £40-£50, you get it home and think the first time you use it ‘wow, they’re sharp, must be good’ then you buy a set of Dalstrong knives, you appreciate the way they’re presented in their box but it’s not until you use them for the first time that you suddenly realise and say to yourself “Holy crap”, put the knife down and go and investigate on YouTube how to use a knife properly for fear of losing a finger (You probably wouldn’t even feel it) and suddenly understand what a real knife is, they really are that good. Trust me when I say these knives are the real thing and if looked after will probably last you the rest of your life, do yourself a favour, press buy it now, you won’t be sorry!

Let me first state that I am not a professional chef. I have been cooking for myself and others for years though. I have always done my research and bought quality equipment. After researching knife sets for over two months I stumbled upon this set in a youtube review of a few sets to consider. I was instantly taking with the block and the quality look the knives had. So I did what anyone reading this would do and got to work researching them. Once I looked into this set, I was convinced to give them a try. One of the things that sealed the deal for me was the steak knives. Most sets come with a serrated set of steak knives which is the opposite of what I was looking for. Once I received the set, I put each one through some initial tests. This set is just above what I consider to be the top end of the lower tier of knives. I am here to tell you that this set, is worth every single penny I paid for it. The quality of these knives is worth so much more than the price tag in my opinion. Every single knife in the set performs like a top end knife out of the box. I cannot say enough about the steak knives. That is one of the main reasons I was looking for a new set. These steak knives are amazing. Drastically better than the steak knives that come with any other set out there. There is not one negative thing I can say about this set up until this point. One thing I read and heard while researching was that the knives rusted a little bit. This is not a two hundred dollar set of knives. You must take care of these knives, that means washing and drying these knives right away. If you are looking for something that is dishwasher safe or more forgivable as far as maintenance, I would advise you to get some other set. If you are willing to take care of your set and want a great set at a great price point, dive in. I have had the set for about a month and will be returning every six months or so to make an amended update if necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend this set to anyone looking spend a little bit above their budget.

I needed a set of good knives and did a lot of research looked at other brands Global, Zilling, Wustolf etc I ended up with these as there was a lot of knifes for the money and they were about half the price of the others.
Well wow these are amazing they feel real quality and do the job perfectly they also look great.
If you are thinking about them just get them and with the money you’ve saved get an end grain choloing board and a whetstone and watch some videos on how to sharpen them correctly.
The only two very negatives are if you buy the full set you dont get the cloth or badge like you do if you buy them individually (I also bought the carving set) and the small birds break knife doesn’t quite fit into the block correctly.
Other than that these are perfect they look and feel the part

Initial review of the knives: they look nice, although I may have to take a closer look after I unpacked the block. The block has a lot of excess glue on the presentation face of the block, including not only the seams, but also the bottom. Most of the bad reviews were of the block, but this is in the area we see; it is quite obvious. I think I need to pull out the knives individually and look at them again. A lot of money for slipshod work. As this is a gift, this is not Christmas presentation quality.
Update-They very quickly sent a new block that was perfect. They did not even require me to send back the old one, saving me a bunch of time and hassle. The customer service cannot be beat and I am a customer for life. Thanks.

Fantastic knives – gave them a little sharpen with the included tool before using and they are brilliant.
For the price you’ve got a great little arsenal of knives that have clearly had a lot of love given to them during production.
I love the santoku knife; it crushes and chops garlic nicely, the chefs knife is a great all-rounder to. I feel those 2 knives alone are worth the price.
Be careful with them too! I went to cut some leaves off my parsley plant and it went through the stalks without pressure and right into my thumb!

I bought a set of DALSTRONG Knife Set Block – Gladiator Series Colossal Knife Set – German HC Steel – 18 Pc – Walnut Stand last year and I just bought a set for my grandson’s wedding gift. I’ve been using my set for over a year now and they’re easily the best knives that I’ve ever had. With the gorgeous wood block, they’re attractive enough that I keep them on my counter all the time. What I like best about them is that they hold their edge very well. Sure, they have to be sharpened occasionally, but lesser quality knives have to be sharpened every time that you use them.
My grandson moved in with me when my husband passed away. He took over the kitchen because I was grieving and I forgot to eat (I lost 90 pounds w-a-y too fast). He hated the expensive set of knives that I had at the time. After he grumbled often enough, I researched kitchen knives and finally found these on Amazon. He quit grumbling. When I asked him what he would like for a wedding gift, he told me that he wanted a set of knives just like mine. Apparently, he and his wife had already discussed it!
I’m back to cooking for myself now and I use the knives frequently. I’m told that I’ll be using his steak knives soon. He bought the house next door and he grills often. Life is good.
Mr. W. J. Cawar –
I really like this set, they look and feel the business and the wooden block is very solidly made, too. My knives were quite dull out of the box, but it’s normal for the edges to be unfinished in brand new knives. After sharpening with a 1000 grit whetstone, they became razor sharp and feel fantastic to use now. I also own some high-end handmade santoku knives I had bought in Japan, and yes they are higher quality, but one of those cost more than this entire set, so they cannot be compared fairly.
For this price, I don’t think you can buy better. Highly recommended.

The first set that arrived had a minor (and I mean minor) finishing flaw which niggled at me enough to make mention of it to the seller, wow! This seller goes above and beyond in satisfying their customers, this is the sort of customer service that major companies only dream about, they are truly top tier! As for the product itself even the one with the minor flaw was good, the replacement flawless. The knives themselves I have been using for a couple of weeks or so and they are showing no signs of wear and tear, keeping a sharp edge and haven’t even needed to see a steel let alone a sharpener yet. The weight and balance is all there plus slicing through my fillet steak like it was butter even shocked me, and I’m an ex Butcher by trade. On top of that the block looks great on the worktop, even the wife was impressed after whinging about the cost lol. I would highly recommend this product and I will purchase from this company for the rest of my life so long as they keep up their standards as I was so highly impressed with the care they gave me as a customer. In fact I have already lined up my next purchase ‘the Obliterator’ cleaver which is part of this range. Honestly I am so happy…of course if the knives start showing signs of rust or ruin within an unreasonable time frame I will update this review.
