Mini Cleaver Knife 4.5" Shadow Black Series | NSF Certified | Dalstrong ©

The Shadow Black Series features an exceptional grip, screamingly sharp cutting edge, and is engineered for optimal maneuverability. Designed from the ground up to be as sleek, aggressive and muscular looking as it is effective, the Shadow Black Series is sure to deliver the highest levels of satisfaction during your culinary journey. Striking from every angle, the unique handle geometry (inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter) features sharp, aerodynamic lines that cut the air and tuck snugly into your palm. A midnight black titanium coating creates unforgettable styling, sophistication and functionality, sure to turn heads in any kitchen. This is one evil looking knife.

When you unsheathe your blade and grasp the handle, you’ll feel the menacing urge to put the razor sharp edge immediately to work, slicing and dicing. The high-carbon German steel at 58+ rockwell with an expert heat treatment ensures top-of-the-line performance, while the fiber-resin military grade G10 handle is nearly impervious to heat, cold and moisture. A black, non-reflective titanium-nitride coating adds corrosion resistance, toughens the blade, enhances non-stick properties and adds to the sinister appearance. Total Dalstrong Craftsmanship.

Ruthlessly sharp, the Shadow Black Series edge is painstakingly honed by expert craftsmen to 16-18°– ensuring clean, precise cuts and excellent edge-retention. Carefully tapered, the blade’s calculated geometry ensures the perfect balance between resilience and performance, creating minimal drag. 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 deep-black Titanium Nitride coating, improving robustness, corrosion resistance keeping your knife cleaner, longer. Each blade is engineered and weighted for perfect balance to minimize hand fatigue and optimize function.

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.
