What steel is this knife series made from?

Most Valhalla Series blades are crafted from 9CR18MOV stainless steel, known for its razor-sharp edge, outstanding corrosion resistance, and impressive durability. This steel holds its sharpness well while being easy to maintain, making it perfect for daily use.

For heavy-duty blades, such as with the Obliterator and Venator knives, we use 7CR17MOV-X stainless steel. This steel is engineered for maximum toughness and extra thickness, allowing excellent cutting performance while maintaining high wear resistance.

What material is the handle?

Each Valhalla Series knife features a unique wood and resin handle. Due to the resin mixing techniques, each is slightly different. This combination not only delivers a stunning, one-of-a-kind aesthetic but also provides great durability, resistance to moisture, and a comfortable grip. The stainless steel end cap adds balance, making each knife feel solid and controlled in your hand.

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

Valhalla Series knives are sharpened to a scalpel-like 8-12° edge using Dalstrong’s advanced D3™ sharpening process. This ensures extreme sharpness straight out of the box, perfect for ultra-fine slicing and heavy chopping alike. Thanks to the high carbon content of 9CR18MOV and the durability of 7CR17MOV-X for heavy-duty blades, edge retention is high. Regular honing and occasional sharpening will keep your knife in peak condition.

How should I care for and maintain the Valhalla knives?

To keep your Valhalla knife performing at its best, hand wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly before storing it in its genuine leather sheath. Avoid soaking the knife or placing it in the dishwasher, as harsh environments can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

How often will I need to sharpen my Valhalla knife?

Sharpening frequency depends on how often you use the knife and the tasks you perform. However, the high-quality steel and D3™ edge mean the knife holds its sharpness longer than many others. Regular honing will maintain the blade’s alignment, while occasional sharpening with a whetstone or a quality sharpener will restore its razor-sharp edge.

What is Dalstrong D3™ sharpening?

Dalstrong D3™ (Diamond Detailing) sharpening is a multi-stage process that meticulously grinds, polishes, and hones each blade to achieve the ultimate sharpness. This advanced technique, inspired by traditional Japanese Honbazuke methods, ensures a scalpel-like edge that withstands the demands of professional and home kitchens.

What is Dalstrong LionShield™ treatment?

Dalstrong’s LionShield™ treatment is an advanced thermal and cryogenic process that strengthens the blade’s microstructure. This treatment enhances the blade’s hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring your Valhalla knife stays sharp, strong, and reliable through years of use.

Does the Valhalla knife come with a sheath?

Yes, every Valhalla Series knife comes with a genuine leather sheath designed for secure storage and safe transport. The sheath protects the blade from damage and ensures it stays sharp and ready for your next culinary adventure.

What warranties or guarantees do I have?

Dalstrong offers an industry-leading 70-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with your knife, you can return it for a full refund. Additionally, all Valhalla Series knives come with a lifetime warranty against defects, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your investment.
