xPremium slicing performance for home cooks and pros
The Dalstrong 12-inch Gladiator Elite Slicing Knife blends rugged durability with refined design. A full-tang blade forged from high-carbon German steel, finished with a hand-polished edge, delivers a precise cut and a lustrous satin surface that catches the light as you work.
The edge is honed to 16-18 degrees per side, providing a balance of sharpness and resilience. The blade’s slight flex supports de-boning, filleting, skinning, trimming, and butterflying with smoother control and less effort.
Built to endure daily use
Engineered to 56+ Rockwell hardness, the blade holds its edge through busy service. A tall blade height offers knuckle clearance, and the full tang with a triple-riveted G10 Garolite handle provides secure, ambidextrous grip. The handle's mosaic engraving adds a premium aesthetic while staying sanitary and easy to clean.
