Product Story

The Gladiator Series 18-Piece Colossal Knife Set in Glacial White pairs Dalstrong's most complete knife collection with a bright, modern colorway. Under the white handles it's the same professional arsenal: full-tang German X50CRMOV15 steel, 16–18° hand-finished edges, NSF certification, and a handcrafted acacia block holding everything from the daily 8" chef's knife to six steak knives and a honing rod.

Who it's for: the design-forward kitchen — white cabinetry, marble counters, open shelving — that refuses to trade performance for looks. Choosing a colorway: White for bright kitchens, Black for classic, Red for a statement; the eighteen pieces and steel are identical.

Common Questions

Do the white handles stain? The handles are a robust, non-porous ABS polymer — wipe-clean, water-resistant, and built for daily kitchen reality. Hand wash and towel dry to keep them pristine.

Are the knives identical to the black 18-piece set? Yes — same eighteen pieces, same German steel, same edges; only the handle color differs.

Is the block included? Yes — the handcrafted acacia wood block is part of the set, with a slot for every piece.
