Thank you for your question. Our knives are painstakingly assembled by expert blades smiths in a state-of-the-art facility within YangJiang, China (a city renowned for knife crafting for nearly 1500 years). We use premium materials from different locations depending on the product (for example, our Shogun & Phantom Series uses steel made in Japan, and our Gladiator Series uses steel made in Germany and handles made of pakkawood from Spain.) We are thus able to achieve exceptional quality but keep the costs of our knives lower for our customers. We offer unparalleled quality AND support at pure value pricing. If these were produced in Japan the costs would be significantly higher. Our Chinese factory proudly stands head and shoulders above all others in YangJiang, as our artisans (and lead foreman specifically) are on a personal mission to prove to the world Chinese quality can be world-class. Our products go through rigorous processes, with unparalleled attention and care given to each blade. We are so confident in the quality of our knives we offer an industry record-length 120-day full money back guarantee (including the shipping) and a limited lifetime warranty.

What are the dimensions of the blade itself?

From heel to tip it's 8.1875" long and from spine to blade it's 2.25" at it's tallest and tapers to 1.75" at the heel.

Its that a real damascus blade or its laser ingraved

Thank you for your question. Our Dalstrong Shogun Series "The Crixus" 8' Chef Knife and Cleaver Knife has a real Damascus blade. Sharpened under the ancient 3-step Honbazuke method and married to bleeding-edge technology. Should you have any other concerns, please feel free to drop us a line. Have a great day!

Should i get the 8 or the 12?

Hi, David thank you for your question. Choosing the knife size is similar to choosing the type of knife. It really depends on the purpose and usage. If you will be using it for home use I would suggest the Shogun Series 8" the Crixus Chef Knife and there is the weight difference also to consider. But if you will be using it professionally I would suggest the 12" considering the length and the added weight for easy slicing.
