This knife is AMAZING!
It cuts beautifully. A heavy knife but due to the perfect balance feels a lot lighter.

I had to come back and say just how much I love this knife. If I could increase my five star review I would.

What steel is this knife series made from?

Shogun Series blades feature a core of Japanese AUS10V Super Steel, enhanced with nickel for superior strength and durability. This high-carbon steel, produced by Aichi Steel Corp, achieves a remarkable hardness of 62+ HRC, allowing it to maintain a razor-sharp edge over time. Encasing the core are 66 layers of Damascus steel with Dalstrong's signature Tsunami Rose™ finish, offering both exceptional performance and striking aesthetics.

What material is the handle?

Most Shogun Series knife handles are crafted from military-spec G10, a high-pressure fiberglass composite known for its indestructible strength, resistance to moisture, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Shogun Series knives with color (non-black) handles are made from durable ABS thermoplastic, designed for long-term comfort and reliability. Some models also feature premium olive wood handles, adding a natural, elegant touch.

How sharp are the knives out of the box, and how easy are they to maintain?

Each Shogun Series knife is meticulously sharpened to an ultra-fine 8-12° edge using Dalstrong's advanced D3™ sharpening method. This process ensures surgical-level sharpness straight out of the box. Maintenance is simple: regular honing and occasional sharpening will keep the blade performing at its peak for years.

How should I care for and maintain my knives?

To maintain your Shogun Series knives, hand wash them with warm water and mild soap, then dry them thoroughly before storage. Avoid soaking the knives or placing them in the dishwasher, as this can lead to damage over time. Store your knives in their sheath or a knife block to protect the blade.

How often will I need to sharpen my knives and how can I do it?

Sharpening frequency depends on usage, but the Shogun Series’ AUS-10V core ensures that it will hold its edge for extended periods without burring. Regular honing helps maintain blade alignment, while occasional sharpening with a whetstone or quality sharpening device will restore the knife’s original sharpness. The AUS10V steel core makes home sharpening efficient and effective.

Are Shogun Series knives suitable for professional use?

Absolutely—they’re designed especially for dedicated professionals who want better performance from their knives for longer.

What is Dalstrong D3™?

Dalstrong D3™ refers to our advanced Diamond Detailing sharpening method. This meticulous process sharpens, aligns, and hones each blade to achieve scalpel-like sharpness without compromising durability. The result is exceptional cutting performance and long-lasting edge retention.

What is Lionshield™ treatment?

Lionshield™ is Dalstrong’s proprietary thermal and cryogenic treatment that enhances blade resilience. This process strengthens the steel’s microstructure, significantly improving its resistance to rust, corrosion, and chipping. The treatment ensures your Shogun Series knife remains durable and sharp through years of demanding use.

Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?

While Shogun Series knives are robust enough to withstand dishwasher conditions, we strongly recommend hand washing to maintain optimal performance and longevity. Dishwashers can dull blades, cause corrosion and potentially damage handles over time. After hand washing, dry the knives thoroughly before storing them.

What warranties or guarantees do I have?

Dalstrong offers an industry-leading 70-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied, you can return your purchase for a full refund. Additionally, all Shogun Series knives come with a lifetime warranty against defects, ensuring your investment is protected for life.
