This will be perfect for my job slicing big chunks of brisket, slicing lots of meat and carving. I work in the Hotel Industry. Weight is designed to help the user go slice through any meat. The handle is designed perfectly, use pinch grip when using this kind of knife and you will find it very easy to control. Overall I like the quality and would recommend it to anyone. Will be posting a video in the future showing this product in action. Review: Superior product. Amazing customer support!!! - This is my second Dalstrong. I have a 12 inch gladiator series breaker knife which is still razor sharp after two years of light use. The devastator is everything promised. Superior packaging, huge, robust, balanced, but unfortunately, not sharp at all! A little disappointed UPDATE!! Dalstrong replaced the knife immediately after receiving my feedback! Outstanding customer service!!

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality *by J***N on December 13, 2022* Just received mine today and i was surprise how well made it is.
