The Shogun Series of Fast Slicing are painstakingly crafted over 60 days using the highest quality materials. They are both razor-sharp kitchen powerhouses and artistic statements in premium design and workmanship.
The Shogun Series blade, (Shogun is a term used for the highest army commander within feudal period Japan) is precision forged from a single piece of 66-layered damascus high-carbon stainless steel cladding, with an ultra premium Japanese VG-10 steel cutting core. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel’s crystalline structure, enhancing, strength, flexibility and hardness.
Hand-polishing reveals a magnificent visual pattern, Dalstrong’s ‘Tsunami Rose’. The super-steel core possesses extra high carbon levels, allowing for scalpel like sharpness with exceptionally long lasting edge retention. Each knife is hand-finished in the Honbazuke 3-step method, creating a beautiful mirror polished edge at a staggeringly acute 8-12 degrees per side.
Beautifully engraved into the blade near the bolster is the Dalstrong lionhead logo for further refinement.
The Shogun Series handle is meticulously constructed of G-10 Garolite, an incredibly strong army-grade inert and non-porous material like fiberglass. It is highly impervious to both heat and moisture with life-long durability. The carefully engineered ergonomic handle is designed for superior hand control and comfort while simultaneously being counter balanced with an engraved end-cap for agile performance. To further enhance the beauty, an intricate copper mosaic pin adorns the center rivet.
A premium -quality polymer Dalstrong PerfectFit saya (sheath) with embossed Dalstrong logo and pin is included with the set to ensure your blade is carefully protected.
