Chef & Cleaver Hybrid Knife 8" The Crixus | Shadow Black Series | RED Edition | Dalstrong ©

The Crixus blade shape is totally unique to Dalstrong, designed to be the ultimate combo of heft and versatility, blending the size and strength of a cleaver with the rock-chopping maneuverability of a chef’s knife. The Shadow Black Series Marauder Edition 8" Crixus takes brutal efficiency to a whole new level. This broad, curved blade is the pitmaster’s best weapon for everything from cleavering through meat and bone, to dicing up a nice pico de gallo.  

The sharp, aerodynamic lines of the Shadow Black Series are inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter jet. The Marauder edition takes this bold series even further, forgoing the matte black color for a haunting, deep, blood red. 

This series features an exceptional grip, screamingly sharp cutting edge, and is engineered for optimal maneuverability. Striking from every angle, the unique handle geometry is optimized for grip and tucks snugly into the palm so you can maneuver it with the prowess of the elite fighter jet that inspired it. 

Ruthlessly sharp, the Shadow Black Series edge is painstakingly honed by expert craftsmen to 16-18°– ensuring clean, precise cuts and excellent edge-retention. An intense heat-treatment followed by a deep-freeze nitrogen cooling process enhances hardness and flexibility. Full-tang for maximum durability, the knife is further upgraded with a menacing blood red nonstick coating, improving robustness and corrosion resistance, and keeping your knife cleaner, longer. 

The handle's tapered bolster ensures a comfortable pinch grip, while the angular G10 resin material is near impervious to kitchen damage and affords lifelong durability. The unique design of the Shadow Black Series' handle affords a rock solid grip, allowing your hand and palm to wrap around effortlessly while your middle finger sits comfortably within a groove near the choil. The hand-polished spine is smooth and comfortable to the touch while the slight texture of the G10 provides anti-slip capability. The Shadow Black Series is sure to deliver the thrills and performance you need in your kitchen, with all the quality and craftsmanship you expect from Dalstrong
