Overview

A dark themed kitchen is where this Dalstrong Shadow Black chef knife belongs, a forged blade with a black titanium nitride coating on a full tang handle and a fitted sheath.

Reason to buy is the look and the kit: coated black blade, full tang build, sheath and gift box in one. The limitation is the missing hardness and angle, and a coating whose wear over time the listing does not discuss.

Who it's for

Home cooks who want a dark, striking knife in a gift ready package will use the forged chef blade for daily cooking. People who prefer an uncoated blade, or want a published hardness, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Black titanium nitride coating
  • Full tang handle
  • Fitted sheath included
  • Gift box included
Cons
  • Hardness and edge angle not listed
  • Coating wear not addressed
  • Single knife only

Performance notes

The titanium nitride coating gives the blade its black finish and a hard surface layer, while forging and a full tang carry strength through the handle. A straight edge slices with a smooth draw. How long the edge lasts depends on the underlying steel hardness, which the listing omits.
