Why Chefs Trust It

The Firestorm Alpha series Crixus is a specialty blade unique to Dalstrong, designed for meat lovers and BBQ enthusiasts. Part chef knife, part cleaver, this hybrid is the go-to tool of choice for those who prepare a lot of meat, especially from start to finish. This blade has the size and weight to slice through tough cuts of meat and bone, while still being maneuverable and versatile enough to wield through the rest of your prep work as well.

Drawing on the might and majesty of the Earth's most awe-inspiring natural spectacles, the Firestorm Alpha Series is a collection of ferociously breathtaking knives worthy of any culinary warrior. Channeling mother nature's fury into a lightning rod of a blade — double bevel and hand-sharpened to 8-12° degrees for ultra-precise slicing — you can strike with confidence in the kitchen. Rated at 61+ Rockwell Hardness, the 67 layer Damascus Steel is forged for enhanced strength.

The elegant and robust resin handle — reinforced with stabilized wood and a G10 Ring for added durability — provides full control as you rapidly move from task to task. The rugged yet refined grip is made even stronger and more elegant with the mosaic rivet. Laser-etched with the Dalstrong logo, these are knives you'll be proud to show off both at home or in professional kitchens. The included ABS sheath keeps the knife protected wherever you go.
