Precision forged, ultra sharp, wear resistant, single-piece, high carbon German steel at 56+ Rockwell. The edge is painstakingly hand sharpened 16-18° per side, maintaining the perfect balance between achieving ultra thin slices and maximum resilience. Tall blade height gives knuckle clearance to assist with food preparation and chopping activity. Beautiful hand polished satin finish blade, tapered design for hardness and flexibility, stain resistant and precisely tempered. Military grade G10 handle for life-long durability. Highly impervious to heat, cold and moisture. Ergonomic handle for superior hand control. Sanitary build perfect for busy kitchens and triple riveted for even more durability.

Review: It will scratch someone's ego. - If you like me think your knives are never big enough - get this one. It should do the job nicely. It should require a license.
Review: Good but could be better - I think this knife is marketed wrongly I bought this for steaking salmon as that was one of the suggestions but the blade is honed at around 45 degrees which doesn’t really suit fish, I’d love to see this knife with a much tighter cutting angle but that said I like it enough not to return it and it’s a very impressive knife which I’ll try to get rehoned rather than return

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Looking to purchase my first high quality knife for the kitchen.  Main use will be cutting my dry aged steaks & trimming.   Is this one best?**
A: Thank you for your question Brian. The Dalstrong Gladiator Series 12.5 Giant Butcher's Breaking Knife can be used for cutting dry-aged steaks. However, we do not recommend it for trimming. For trimming, I would suggest a Boning Knife.

**Q: Which knife do you recommend the most for cutting bones?**
A: Hello Emesto, thank you for your question. Our Dalstrong Gladiator Series Butcher Breaking Knife is a must-have for any butcher or huntsman. The Gladiator Series 12.5” ‘Devastator’ butcher's knife is one mean looking behemoth of a blade, engineered for causing utter devastation to large cuts of meat and bone. With a uniquely designed protruding belly, the Devastator’s blade geometry makes deboning, chopping, rocking and breaking down beef, poultry, pork and other animals look like child’s play. Make quick work of splitting squash, pumpkin and watermelon with a single annihilating stroke. No challenge is too daunting for this giant kitchen warrior.  Should you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a great day!

**Q: How does this compare with the Dalstrong Ravenger? I'm going to roast a whole pig and need a knife that can process through it all (including bone)**
A: Thank you for your question. If you are going to use it on a whole pig and will be cutting bone, we recommend that you get our new Gladiator Series Obliterator Cleaver instead. The Devastator is not meant to cut animal bone.

**Q: Is this knife good for slaughtering???**
A: Thank you for your question. Yes, this is a good knife for slaughtering, although we would advise against cutting bone with it. If you're looking to cut bone, consider getting a thicker and heavier cleaver instead, such as the Gladiator Series Ravager or Obliterator.
