Been hooked on your bbq videos! I’m currently deployed for COVID response in the military. We don’t have a kitchen but we do have a microwave-that’s how I get my meals vs the chow hall. I’ve been using butter knife to cut through meats and vegetables. This knife will not only help me make meals but also a great treasure to have. If I’m picked, you can reach me at (937) 546-7492. Thanks!

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ Harry, I would like to thank you on behalf of all of your subscribers and for Dalstrong for making this giveaway happen! Please continue making great videos! Again, thank you so much!
Yo Harry! It’s me Larry! Dude, I have become the “BBQ Guy” on my cul de sac in the neighborhood, and have been spreading the BBQ goodness here in San Diego for over 4 years now. Mainly pork shoulders and briskets, large birds and my soon to be famous smoked chili all cooked with lots of love on my 22.5 WSM (with Jealous Devil Lump of course). My Mom gifted me a Dalstrong about 3 years ago and it is a Shogun Series 8" Butcher & Breaking Cimitar knife. By far the coolest and best knife I’ve ever owned!! Outstanding quality. Anyways, I’ve been a Sub for about 2-3 years now and I really dig your channel, it’s guided me the right direction dozens of times and is appreciated. This knife would be my second Dalstrong and a huge addition to my current cutlery setup. Cheers either way and tell Mr. Beans I said Hi! 👋
I watched like 3 hours of you and Burrfection sharpening knives, borrowed a friend's whetstones - mostly the same ones you guys were using and sharpened all my knives at home. I don't have anything nice other than a pretty nice nakiri. Didn't do as good of a job sharpening them on the whetstones but at least they're sharper than they were before! Love the Cantonese style BBQ pork. Those ribs must be amazing. Hi Mr. Beans!
I have just joined the smoking BBQ community about a month ago and I have learned so much from you already. I try to mimic what you teach but lack the proper knifes to perfect your technique. This knife would help advance my skills and share my BBQ love with friends and family. Thanks for all your help Harry, you are the BBQ legends!
Thanks, Harry, for another objective, helpful review. I was wondering if you would suggest adding ingredients to the store bought version to add complexity as you have done with other sauces in the past, i.e., possibly some honey, ginger, etc.?
Harry I’m continuing to enjoy all of your videos. I’ve even got my ten month old little boy watching along with me. He love helping daddy in the kitchen already. Showed him how to push the pulse button on my processor, it’s his favorite kitchen duty. I have several white handled restaurant quality kitchen knives. This Dalstrong Santorum will be a great addition to my collection to pass along when my boy is knife ready. Keep up the great content, love this rib recipe!
Hi Harry, Long time subscriber of Slap Your Daddy BBQ. I just bought my grill and started BBQ again after watching you videos. I even rewatch them to try out the recipes and for black belt tips. I would love to have a nice and duruable Dalstrong blade to help split ribs, cut up tri-tip, ribroast and other cuts of meats as i expand my BBQ setup. One of my first ribs recipes as a teenager was a char siu smoked with tea in oven. Another was Asian five spice dry rub with brown sugar and syrup as a binder. Love the asian fusion.
Hey Harry thanks for all your tips and the Asian spice marinade is awesome I am going to try it on my family my mom has made a variation of Asian season ribs that she cooked in the oven for years and the family loves so I can't wait to try this one, that knife will sure come in handy for rib triming as well as brisket triming and tri tip triming and sausage making , any way thanks again for your expertise in BBQ and sharing your knowledge with us .
Hi Harry! My hubby watches your videos all the time in his quest for knowledge of all things BBQ! We currently do not have a Dalstrong knife. In fact, I hate to admit this, but it wasn't that long ago that I realized just how important a quality sharp knife is. We don't have an entire set of anything but now have a couple Henckel and a couple Wusthoff knives, but still no Santoku. Have watched the various Dalstrong videos and would LOVE to try one of theirs! Thanks Harry and keep on cooking! :)
as usual it is great to see a real honest review! I sure could use that knife because I was growing my fine knife collection when a family member (I won't say who because I still need to share a bed her) sold some at a garage sale! Yes, I, like most of us, had numerous knives that throughout the years would get better and better in quality. She thought it would be good to get rid of some duplicates, but she chose the wrong ones....someone has some very nice knives for very little money! Thanks!
I’ve been barbecuing all my life but I have taken it to a new level since I started watching your channel. I used to makeChar Sui from the bottle all the time because I loved it until I saw your video comparing it to the Walmart made brand. Yours with the 2000-year-old recipe is so much better. I have taken all the bottles of premade sauces that I used to have, barbeque and Asian, and throwing them out since I discovered your channel and saw your episode. The work is So worth it. One tastes chemically enhanced and one tastes natural with many layers of depth. You are selling yourself short. There’s no comparison between the two. Sorry Mr. beans I have to disagree with you for the first time. Your knife giveaway would be awesome to win but your recipes are the reason we watch your channel. Keep up the great work and thanks very much.
I got into whetstone sharpening after watching your collab with burrfection and was able to get my cheap Walmart knife to push cut through magazine paper. I have no doubt that a knife of this caliber would hold its edge and be a massive step up for me. Also, great video and thanks for spreading bbq love!
Hey Harry great video as usual. I just started getting serious about Bbq since I’ve been in quarantine. I’ve been hooked on your videos since seeing you with TRoy and Baby Back Manic in Texas. Your videos are great and very informative explaining the science and while building great flavor profiles. I’ve been mainly doing ribs and chicken but After watching several of your brisket videos about selection and preparation, I had the courage to cook my first brisket for July 4th. I used your hot and fast method and used the Lea pearrins as a binder slap yo daddy and injected it with the grain and finished it in the oven because BTU is BTU is BTU... My family went crazy over the brisket. They are still going crazy over it. I didn’t have a god knife to cut it right and make it as professional as you do in your videos. It would be great to have an awesome knife to go with my next Harry Soo awesome brisket.
Great episode! And I have been looking at the Dalstrong knife collection to update my current and worn out knifes. Having the right tools in the kitchen/grill area makes the job and experience more enjoyable.
Another great video. I only use your methods for BBQ. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My friends and family always ask when am I firing the pit up again. I have been looking at the Dalstrong knives for awhile now. Just waiting for the extra cash to pull the trigger and order them. Whether or not I win, I will definitely be purchasing a Dalstrong knife collection. Thanks again for the great recipes and BBQ tips!
I've spent my entire life using very bad knives. In the last year I've started to upgrade to better knives, but find the expense of a really good knife is outside my budget. I've recently bought my first smoker and that's how I found your channel and find your advice to be very informative to learn to bbq just a little better. Thanks.
I'm just starting getting serious about barbeque and watching your channel has been the central inspiration to wanting to cook better barbeque. Though I may never become a competitive pit master, your videos have helped me cook great dishes my family enjoys and are a joy to make. My knife game is definitely lacking and a Dalstrong would really elevate my preparation and serving. Regardless of the outcome, thank you Harry for all you do. Keep up the great work!
Hi Harry! Your videos are not only informative but an inspiration. It’s not often you see Asian Americans on the BBQ circuit. I started bbqing last year and am currently working on creating UA-cam videos for fun. I’ve got pretty basic knives so a Dalstrong would be a huge upgrade. Thanks!
Great video, Harry - love all your videos and I have learned so much! Those Dalstrong knives look amazing. Currently looking to expand my knife set, as I really don't have any good quality knives, and this one would put my game over the top!
Great video Harry. Right now I'm using Wusthof knives and they are very good knives. They hold a very sharp edge too. I'd like to try another brand of knife but great knives are very expensive. Thanks again Harry for another great video.
Another great video Harry. It’s difficult to imagine having a knife of that quality in my kitchen. One thing I could say for sure, I would use it everyday. Primarily slicing beautiful smoked meats!! Thanks for sharing your BBQ love!!
Harry I have wanted a good knife, but haven’t brought myself to pull the trigger on something so nice. Living in Alaska I regularly prepare Moose, caribou, bear, halibut, and salmon. I am always experimenting and honing my BBQing skills. I have recently started dry and wet aging some cuts. This knife would be a great addition. As with everything I own, this knife would be used well and taken care of with the upmost appreciation and respect. I enjoy your channel and learn a lot. Thank you.
Please check out Japanese Chef Knife site..they have the best steel on the planet from many different famous makers, from extremely affordable (cheap) knives all the way to thousand dollar sashimi slicers..
Really enjoy your work. Dalstrong knives are excellent blend of quality and value. Bought my brother a 9” Ravager as a 50th bd gift last year. It’s amazing. Keep on teaching! I’m a big fan here in Texas.
As I am very new in spreading BBQ love this knife would be a great cornerstone that I can expand on in my pursuit of BBQ excellence.I am glad you decided to keep putting out videos. Much BBQ love to you!
Harry, you have inspired me to learn how to cook and your videos are awesome to watch. As a “newbie” to grill, that knife would sure be a nice addition. Thanks for the great advice!
I’ve always been a fan of bbq’ing, but you and your UA-cam channel got me into smoking, now I can’t stop it, I done my first brisket 3 weeks ago following your instructions and it was out of this world 😍, I wish to get a proper knife but due to the current situation I can’t afford buying one.
Thanks Harry another Gem. I Live in a rural area and it will be tough to find all those things without a road trip. Another winner Harry. I always learn something.
Nice video. I am glad that we have an Asian grocery store where i live so i should have no issues getting the ingredients. They are stocked! I have no expertise with really good knives as they not in my budget but when i look at your videos and others , i wonder how much easier it would be to cut fat off the ribs and briskets with a quality knife. Appreciate the recipe for the ribs and the great tips as always.
Hiya Harry! Another fabulous Rib recipe ! As Always Thank you for sharing ! I just received the Dalstrong Boning knife and Shucking Knife. I don’t yet have an 8” chefs knife and this one would be a perfect fit to my collection ... As always many thanks 🙏 and have a great day!!
Another awesome video Harry! I just started my BBQ journey a few months ago. My wife says it’s “the best hobby I’ve ever had” :). Been learning lots of tips from your channel. Keep inspiring us all!
I look forward to watching all of your videos as soon as they come out! Keep up the awesome work Harry! I use a couple of Dalsrong Gladiator series knives. I have wanted a Shogun series knife! 🔪🔪
Hey Harry, I am delighted to see this video. I had marinated some pork butt with traditional marinate and was just wondering if i could use a bbq grill to make char siu. I have used the jar before but lacks flavor and complexity as you have said. Very happy to see the comparison. Thank you for providing the history of Oyster sauce and Hoisin sauce. I grew up in HK (been living in US since 82) but still had no idea how they came about.
Looking forward to char Siew bbq and learn from your techniques! Im a bbq newbie, watch your videos often (true!) And realize how beneficial a good knife is to prep and finish. I would love to get the knife for sure and up my game to spread bbq love!!
As a long time user and fan of Wusthof knives, that Dalstong is one sexy looking blade. I'm liking the handle shape. I could see adding some of those to my arsenal. Also love me some Char Siu ribs. I've only ever had them at restaurants, but after seeing you do the throw down, I'm adding this to my rotation.
Hi Harry, I think it's great of you and dalstrong to host this giveaway. It's a good way for up and comers to add to their collection of bbq tools. I'm happily married and a proud father of 4. My kids are young and we live a busy life, but I do take my BBQ seriously. My kids already show interest in helping me cook and they like to watch pitmasters and youtube bbq videos with me. I've been watching your channel religiously for quite awhile. I aspire to get into competition bbq someday. I enjoy making my own rubs and sauces. Your videos have always helped me along the way. I'm slowly building up my bbq arsenal. This dalstrong santoku knife is a much needed addition to my equipment. It would up my bbq game and be a great tool for teaching my kids these skills for making excellent bbq. So, I say goodluck to all who enter. I know you will choose a well deserving candidate! I'm not sure how to leave contact information. Do you want an email or phone number?
You’re one of the best out there! I love your videos, detailed info and Mr. Beans for taste testing. You do a great job keeping things simple. Well done! Please forward me the Dalstrong. 💪🏻✌🏻
I like sharp knives, and I cannot lie.... ! Food prep takes on a whole different dimension when using a freshly sharpened knife. I know this from field dressing my game to preparing meats and veggies in the kitchen. I would love this Santoku knife by Dalstrong... it looks like it would feel great in my hand. Thanks, Harry, for another great giveaway and for sharing your passion and wisdom on BBQ!
Harry, first of all I love your vids! You inspire me to improve my bbq skills and creativity in the kitchen... I spent a few hundred dollars for my birthday, on some handmade Damascus steel knives. I am not happy with their performance and wished I just went big on a few solid Dalstrong pieces. When I saw your post of this video, my eyes lit up 🤩. I cook everyday and also have a small UA-cam channel dedicated to smoking meats. If I won this I would thank you each time I use it and feature on my channel. Would love this collaboration. Regardless of who you choose, you are a boss! 👊🏼🔥💨
I'm gong to try the jar recipe for convenience but also because Mr. Beans has never let me down! The knife looks great, it slices so smoothly and is the perfect utensil for a conniseur! If I won it my wife and I would call it the "Harry" and we'd use it daily.
I am a beginner in smoking BBQ. I am inspired by your cooking techniques and I really like how you explain the different tastes and origins. I really like your honest feedback after you have finished cooking. I would definitely love to have a Shogun knife to help me with my carving skills.
I would use the knife and appreciate it. Also it would make my birthday awesome! Followed you for years ever since bbq pitmasters good job Harry. Thanks for the chance and thank you dalstrong .
Just started getting into smoking and barbecuing and started watching you since I saw you BBQ Pitmasters on TLC. I have never used a Shogun style but would make a great addition to my barbecuing knife collection I just started. I have to wonder if a high end knife would make all the difference in cutting and trimming meats compared to a $30-$60 knife. Really enjoy you videos.
Harry, thanks for another great video. I have been spending my extra Covid time learning bbq and I love it. I got a new offset and several tools and accessories. I really good knife would be a great addition to my tools and help me spread that bbq love.
Hey Harry. I've been trying my hand at BBQ competitions. I'm limited to standard knives I get from warehouse clubs. I would love a fine instrument from Dalstrong to improve my trimming of meat.
I just retired and have enjoyed spending time in the kitchen. We also just bought a smoker so we have enjoyed watching your videos for tips. This knife would make a great addition to the kitchen. Thanks Harry
You saved me! My wife LOVES Asian style ribs and I promised her I would make her something special for her birthday! Now I know how I'm going to do them! They'd be even better if they were cut beautifully with a Dalstrong Santoku knife!!
I just bought my first smoker ever, and found you while researching how to make a brisket for my first smoke ever. I was so excited about cooking it I forgot to get a knife to cut it. This knife would be the perfect start to my collection of Dalstrong knives.
I love the bbq world! I have learned so much throughout the years watching all of you guys ! I enjoy bbq cooking Harry i been a fan of yours for a long time know , thanks for the inspiration to try new things . I currently use old hickory knives. I do my best keeping sharp. That knife looks top quality. It would be a blessing to whoever wins it.
Great video Harry. Quick question.....does your family ever get tired of bbq? Because if they do......with me winning that dalstrong knife....I'd be helping them out alittle. One less knife you prep bbq. Haha. Good luck everyone!!
I don't have much of a collection of knives all I have to use is a the big Chinese butcher knife. I used that for trimming brisket to slicing, trimming ribs to cutting them into pieces. Basically my everything use knife. Definitely love to smoke anything from chicken to beef to pork. So this knife would be a great help on preparing things with ease. Thanks for the great countless videos!
I have thinking about buying a set of Dalstrong knives but I have never used one so I'm kinda on the fence. If I got this one from you this would definitely help me buy the Dalstrong set I have been wanting. Thanks for all the videos keep spreading bbq love you are awesome
Hi Harry, Those look delicious! You make me want to repeat the experiment and try both side by side myself! Since I started BBQing two years ago, I've been slowly replacing my old grocery store knives with decent ones, and my santoku is way behind now, languishing while I use better steel. Santoku profile, though, is one of my favorites, and a Dalstrong would return it to pride of place! :)
This knife will be great. I have a Henkel chef but looking to make my knife game strong. Looking at Dalstrong from your recommendation. Sure could use this. Just started smoking n grilling this year seriously! FYI love your rubs
Absolutely love these knives, and would love to have this one! Love the content you put out on your channel, and many of your videos/recipes have made me the bar-b-que man I am today. Keep on keeping on, and never teaching us how to make food that brings people together!!
Another great video as always Harry! I like these comparison videos you do and then your judging on them. Can't tell you how i have used your information for ideas and to try new things on my smoker. As far as the knife goes? Who doesn't need another knife lol. Cutlery is definitely something that makes a difference when cutting meats. But not everyone can afford and spend a couple hundred bucks for Kitchen knife. But I wouldn't complain if one was sent to me lol
Just got into BBQ when the covid started. Your channel and Baby Back Maniac have been helping me to step my game up. I saw your video with Ryky over at Burrfection and picked up a couple wet stones to sharpen my european knives. But after watching a ton of videos on sharpening I have been really looking for a japanese knife after a lot of research, Dalstrong looks to be the leader in the bang per buck category and getting ready to pull the trigger. Then this video came along and well fingers crossed. (PS) looks like i subscribed when i was signed in to my alt account (Ronald McDonald) but I have now subscribe with my man account also
Beautiful knife and even prettier Ribs…looks like the 2000 year old recipe wins out in taste and I would choose taste over looks anytime! Great Job Mr. Soo!
Long time fan of your channel. I have learned so much over these past few years it's absolutely incredible, and my family really appreciates my upgrades in skill level lol. I've been using cutco knives for a few years now and while they are good they aren't great. I would love to have a true chef quality knife to finally add to my collection.
Great video, Harry! You’re a true wonder of the BBQ world! You need to create a cook book my friend... I’d buy it. lol That’s a nice knife... but it’s always about the pit master... never the equipment, right? ;)
Another great video 👍 I've never won anything so the knife would be great and going to a home where it will find love! Looking forward to your next video.
I have never had a great knife like the Dalstrong. I am a firm believer that more people cut their self on a dull knife than a sharp one. I would be in seventh heaven to own a knife like a Delstrong. As always I love your videos keep up the good work
Hi Harry, have you tried using your wsm to mimic the Hong Kong siu mei ovens? It looks like with a few accessories like the hanger and vortex could do a pretty good job,but those ribs look perfect!
Yes, just take out the water pan and put a hanger frame and hang your char siu on hooks circling the fire ring. No need to goto Hongkong and bring over the siew yoke or char siu ovens!
Great video Harry! I love char siew and it was great to see another recipe comparison by you. Your first one was awesome too. I'd love to buy a Dalstrong santoku one day, but my Global santoku is going great for now. But don't give it to me - give it to someone who really needs it! It's a beautiful looking knife!
That’s a beautiful knife! My kitchen currently has an Old Hickory 10” butcher and a Chinese Carbon Steel Vegetable Cleaver (Choy Dao). I keep both in good working order with a Wicked Edge sharpener. A Santoku would make a great addition to my arsenal as a nice medium blade.
On Mr. Beans recommendation, I must try the jar sauce! Love your channel and have learned a lot. I’ve purchased a WSM based on your success and my neighbors now love my meat. I would love a beautiful Dalstrong knife as it would definitely enhance my culinary experience and looks awesome.
I've never tried the jar myself nor have I used a pit to cook this style of rib (for me the BTU was from a conventional gas oven). If you used the jar, you could add to the flavor complexity of the rib. What few ingredients would you try (please try to limit to two or three ingredients)? That giveaway knife is very high end compared to the one I use from Sam's Club. Thanks for the comparison!! Just a side note - Did Bryson get to judge the ribs and what was his assessment, if he did?
I can't tell you how many times I've had a Dalstrong knife in my online shopping cart but haven't pulled the trigger... If I were to be so lucky as to receive an amazing knife such of that it would help me spread BBQ love, as I have been doing with my friends for many months now! They call me asking for advice, and I either tell them or I direct them to your videos! A new knife would help me take my BBQ game to the next level, with your help of course! Thanks Harry for what you do!
Hey Harry, John from Melbourne again. Going to try my hand at your Char Siew ribs tomorrow. Just wanted to check with you if you still used the same cooking method as usual. 275F for 2.15 + 1.15 + 0.05? I noticed your ribs looked quite dark underneath, which I believe is from the caramelisation of the sugars from the sauce. I assume they were cooked perfectly fine using the tried and trusted method of yours? Thanks mate. 👍
I would go lower temps 225F when there is a lot of sugar in the marinade or rub. Be sure to say hello to Lance Rosen who is my Melbourne student who runs Big Boy BBQ
My husband just loves your channel and has learned a lot from you! I believe this knife will help my husband with his grilling game. I will also love to have such a great knife in my kitchen and maybe get my hubby to help out a little bit more :) These days we’re home so much and cooking all our meals at home so we need all the help we can get!
Harry, I need a Great 1st knife to start my collection. I'm new to the world of smoking bbq, and having a quality blade like this would be an excellent way for me to perfect my trims and slices. Thanks to you, and the people at Dalstrong for this giveaway.
The jar rib did look just a tad better, but they both looked awesome. I'll take the knowledge I've learned from your channel as my prize. Thanks Harry.
How’s it going Harry, Just want to say whoever wins the knife will be a very happy n lucky person. Not matter If I win or lose .. I’ll still be watching your great video’s . Oh and we all know Mr beans is the star ⭐️ of the show😆😆. Have a blessed day
Hey Harry I just bought a Dalstrong paring(phantom)&boning(gladiator)from your recommendations and others.It seems among the BBQ Pitmasters it's either Dalstrong or Shun.I just sliced up a raw packer brisket(for grinding )using the Dalstrong Boning Knife.The Santoku would have made the job much easier.
I would love to try this I always seem to buy knives that won't keep there edge pick me Harry love your you tube shoes and you have made me a better BBQ cook thanks Harry! Keep it up
I'm in the process of buying new knives as my old ones are a cheap set and it's time to grow up and buy something that cuts, not shred. Been eyeing the Dalstrong as they seem solid and have a great reputation. That knife would be a great first piece in my quest for new knives.
Love your channel, I always learn something. The Dalsong shogun knife look amazing, definitely would be the star of my chefs knife collection. I am the chief of the house, I try to do a new recipe every week. Thinking Char siu ribs are going to be on the menu this week. How would the char siu be with children?
I’m just here to comment, don’t need the knife because I have what I need already. What I would like to know is if using the jar is there 1 or 2 simple ingredients you would add to make it more complex? I am a huge fan of Sandra Lee’s semi home made where I can use ready bought supermarket stuff and just modify it a bit to make it my own or better.

Thanks, Harry, for another objective, helpful review. I was wondering if you would suggest adding ingredients to the store bought version to add complexity as you have done with other sauces in the past, i.e., possibly some honey, ginger, etc.?
I think the honey is a complex sweetener. The red tofu helps as the fermented tofu has a lot of natural MSG
Harry I’m continuing to enjoy all of your videos. I’ve even got my ten month old little boy watching along with me. He love helping daddy in the kitchen already. Showed him how to push the pulse button on my processor, it’s his favorite kitchen duty. I have several white handled restaurant quality kitchen knives. This Dalstrong Santorum will be a great addition to my collection to pass along when my boy is knife ready. Keep up the great content, love this rib recipe!
Hi Harry, Long time subscriber of Slap Your Daddy BBQ. I just bought my grill and started BBQ again after watching you videos. I even rewatch them to try out the recipes and for black belt tips. I would love to have a nice and duruable Dalstrong blade to help split ribs, cut up tri-tip, ribroast and other cuts of meats as i expand my BBQ setup.

Thank you very much for going into the history and details about the ingredients. I learned about a couple new things that I am excited to try.
Love this episode and glad you did showdown I’m going to try both.
I’ve been barbecuing all my life but I have taken it to a new level since I started watching your channel. I used to makeChar Sui from the bottle all the time because I loved it until I saw your video comparing it to the Walmart made brand. Yours with the 2000-year-old recipe is so much better. I have taken all the bottles of premade sauces that I used to have, barbeque and Asian, and throwing them out since I discovered your channel and saw your episode. The work is So worth it. One tastes chemically enhanced and one tastes natural with many layers of depth. You are selling yourself short. There’s no comparison between the two. Sorry Mr. beans I have to disagree with you for the first time. Your knife giveaway would be awesome to win but your recipes are the reason we watch your channel. Keep up the great work and thanks very much.
I got into whetstone sharpening after watching your collab with burrfection and was able to get my cheap Walmart knife to push cut through magazine paper. I have no doubt that a knife of this caliber would hold its edge and be a massive step up for me. Also, great video and thanks for spreading bbq love!
Thank you Harry for sharing your experience and knowledge. This awesome knife will be great to start my serious knife collect.
Hey Harry great video as usual. I just started getting serious about Bbq since I’ve been in quarantine. I’ve been hooked on your videos since seeing you with TRoy and Baby Back Manic in Texas. Your videos are great and very informative explaining the science and while building great flavor profiles. I’ve been mainly doing ribs and chicken but After watching several of your brisket videos about selection and preparation, I had the courage to cook my first brisket for July 4th. I used your hot and fast method and used the Lea pearrins as a binder slap yo daddy and injected it with the grain and finished it in the oven because BTU is BTU is BTU...
My family went crazy over the brisket. They are still going crazy over it. I didn’t have a god knife to cut it right and make it as professional as you do in your videos. It would be great to have an awesome knife to go with my next Harry Soo awesome brisket.
Great episode! And I have been looking at the Dalstrong knife collection to update my current and worn out knifes. Having the right tools in the kitchen/grill area makes the job and experience more enjoyable.
The world needs more positive people like Harry. Thanks again.
Another great video. I only use your methods for BBQ. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My friends and family always ask when am I firing the pit up again. I have been looking at the Dalstrong knives for awhile now. Just waiting for the extra cash to pull the trigger and order them. Whether or not I win, I will definitely be purchasing a Dalstrong knife collection. Thanks again for the great recipes and BBQ tips!
I've spent my entire life using very bad knives. In the last year I've started to upgrade to better knives, but find the expense of a really good knife is outside my budget. I've recently bought my first smoker and that's how I found your channel and find your advice to be very informative to learn to bbq just a little better. Thanks.
Harry thank you for all your great content during these crazy times! Brings all of us together!!
I'm just starting getting serious about barbeque and watching your channel has been the central inspiration to wanting to cook better barbeque. Though I may never become a competitive pit master, your videos have helped me cook great dishes my family enjoys and are a joy to make. My knife game is definitely lacking and a Dalstrong would really elevate my preparation and serving. Regardless of the outcome, thank you Harry for all you do. Keep up the great work!
Hi Harry! Your videos are not only informative but an inspiration. It’s not often you see Asian Americans on the BBQ circuit. I started bbqing last year and am currently working on creating UA-cam videos for fun. I’ve got pretty basic knives so a Dalstrong would be a huge upgrade. Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos Harry! I learn a lot from your videos, why not use the tools the master uses!!
Great video, Harry - love all your videos and I have learned so much! Those Dalstrong knives look amazing. Currently looking to expand my knife set, as I really don't have any good quality knives, and this one would put my game over the top!
Thanks for all the hard work you put into teaching us bbq love
Great video Harry. Right now I'm using Wusthof knives and they are very good knives. They hold a very sharp edge too. I'd like to try another brand of knife but great knives are very expensive. Thanks again Harry for another great video.
Another great video Harry. It’s difficult to imagine having a knife of that quality in my kitchen. One thing I could say for sure, I would use it everyday. Primarily slicing beautiful smoked meats!! Thanks for sharing your BBQ love!!
Love when u teach food science.. keep up the good stuff!
Harry I have wanted a good knife, but haven’t brought myself to pull the trigger on something so nice. Living in Alaska I regularly prepare Moose, caribou, bear, halibut, and salmon. I am always experimenting and honing my BBQing skills. I have recently started dry and wet aging some cuts. This knife would be a great addition. As with everything I own, this knife would be used well and taken care of with the upmost appreciation and respect. I enjoy your channel and learn a lot. Thank you.
Please check out Japanese Chef Knife site..they have the best steel on the planet from many different famous makers, from extremely affordable (cheap) knives all the way to thousand dollar sashimi slicers..
Very nice change from the usual "I made ribs!" video. I like when you throw a changeup. I don't need a knife, I have a couple of nice santokus.
Really enjoy your work. Dalstrong knives are excellent blend of quality and value. Bought my brother a 9” Ravager as a 50th bd gift last year. It’s amazing. Keep on teaching! I’m a big fan here in Texas.
I have a Dalstrong Shogun Chef knige giveaway video coming very soon. Easy to enter to find Easter eggs in my video
As I am very new in spreading BBQ love this knife would be a great cornerstone that I can expand on in my pursuit of BBQ excellence.I am glad you decided to keep putting out videos. Much BBQ love to you!
Harry, you have inspired me to learn how to cook and your videos are awesome to watch. As a “newbie” to grill, that knife would sure be a nice addition. Thanks for the great advice!
I enjoy watching your videos. I like learning about different knives. That way I know which is a great brand to buy. Thank you for the videos
I’ve always been a fan of bbq’ing, but you and your UA-cam channel got me into smoking, now I can’t stop it, I done my first brisket 3 weeks ago following your instructions and it was out of this world 😍, I wish to get a proper knife but due to the current situation I can’t afford buying one.
Thanks Harry another Gem. I Live in a rural area and it will be tough to find all those things without a road trip. Another winner Harry. I always learn something.
Nice video. I am glad that we have an Asian grocery store where i live so i should have no issues getting the ingredients. They are stocked! I have no expertise with really good knives as they not in my budget but when i look at your videos and others , i wonder how much easier it would be to cut fat off the ribs and briskets with a
quality knife. Appreciate the recipe for the ribs and the great tips as always.
Hiya Harry!
Another fabulous Rib recipe !
As Always Thank you for sharing !
I just received the Dalstrong Boning knife and Shucking Knife.
I don’t yet have an 8” chefs knife and this one would be a perfect fit to my collection ...
As always many thanks 🙏 and have a great day!!
Another awesome video Harry! I just started my BBQ journey a few months ago. My wife says it’s “the best hobby I’ve ever had” :). Been learning lots of tips from your channel. Keep inspiring us all!
I look forward to watching all of your videos as soon as they come out! Keep up the awesome work Harry! I use a couple of Dalsrong Gladiator series knives. I have wanted a Shogun series knife! 🔪🔪
Hey Harry, I am delighted to see this video. I had marinated some pork butt with traditional marinate and was just wondering if i could use a bbq grill to make char siu. I have used the jar before but lacks flavor and complexity as you have said. Very happy to see the comparison. Thank you for providing the history of Oyster sauce and Hoisin sauce. I grew up in HK (been living in US since 82) but still had no idea how they came about.
Mix the jar w some of the traditional recipe like the fermented plate and honey
Harry Soo yes. Good idea thanks.
Ive been smoking meats for about a year and most of ideas have came from watching ur videos... thanks for all the videos
Looking forward to char Siew bbq and learn from your techniques! Im a bbq newbie, watch your videos often (true!) And realize how beneficial a good knife is to prep and finish. I would love to get the knife for sure and up my game to spread bbq love!!
As a long time user and fan of Wusthof knives, that Dalstong is one sexy looking blade. I'm liking the handle shape. I could see adding some of those to my arsenal. Also love me some Char Siu ribs. I've only ever had them at restaurants, but after seeing you do the throw down, I'm adding this to my rotation.
Hi Harry, I think it's great of you and dalstrong to host this giveaway. It's a good way for up and comers to add to their collection of bbq tools. I'm happily married and a proud father of 4. My kids are young and we live a busy life, but I do take my BBQ seriously. My kids already show interest in helping me cook and they like to watch pitmasters and youtube bbq videos with me. I've been watching your channel religiously for quite awhile. I aspire to get into competition bbq someday. I enjoy making my own rubs and sauces. Your videos have always helped me along the way. I'm slowly building up my bbq arsenal. This dalstrong santoku knife is a much needed addition to my equipment. It would up my bbq game and be a great tool for teaching my kids these skills for making excellent bbq. So, I say goodluck to all who enter. I know you will choose a well deserving candidate!
I'm not sure how to leave contact information. Do you want an email or phone number?
You’re one of the best out there! I love your videos, detailed info and Mr. Beans for taste testing. You do a great job keeping things simple. Well done! Please forward me the Dalstrong. 💪🏻✌🏻
I like sharp knives, and I cannot lie.... ! Food prep takes on a whole different dimension when using a freshly sharpened knife. I know this from field dressing my game to preparing meats and veggies in the kitchen. I would love this Santoku knife by Dalstrong... it looks like it would feel great in my hand. Thanks, Harry, for another great giveaway and for sharing your passion and wisdom on BBQ!
Harry, first of all I love your vids! You inspire me to improve my bbq skills and creativity in the kitchen... I spent a few hundred dollars for my birthday, on some handmade Damascus steel knives. I am not happy with their performance and wished I just went big on a few solid Dalstrong pieces. When I saw your post of this video, my eyes lit up 🤩. I cook everyday and also have a small UA-cam channel dedicated to smoking meats. If I won this I would thank you each time I use it and feature on my channel. Would love this collaboration. Regardless of who you choose, you are a boss! 👊🏼🔥💨
I'm gong to try the jar recipe for convenience but also because Mr. Beans has never let me down!
The knife looks great, it slices so smoothly and is the perfect utensil for a conniseur! If I won it my wife and I would call it the "Harry" and we'd use it daily.
I am a beginner in smoking BBQ. I am inspired by your cooking techniques and I really like how you explain the different tastes and origins. I really like your honest feedback after you have finished cooking. I would definitely love to have a Shogun knife to help me with my carving skills.
I've never tried a Dalstrong Japanese Chef knife before. Very nice subdues Damascus construction - would love to try it!!
I would use the knife and appreciate it.
Also it would make my birthday awesome!
Followed you for years ever since bbq pitmasters good job Harry.
Thanks for the chance and thank you dalstrong .
Just started getting into smoking and barbecuing and started watching you since I saw you BBQ Pitmasters on TLC. I have never used a Shogun style but would make a great addition to my barbecuing knife collection I just started. I have to wonder if a high end knife would make all the difference in cutting and trimming meats compared to a $30-$60 knife. Really enjoy you videos.
Harry, thanks for another great video. I have been spending my extra Covid time learning bbq and I love it. I got a new offset and several tools and accessories. I really good knife would be a great addition to my tools and help me spread that bbq love.
Hey Harry. I've been trying my hand at BBQ competitions. I'm limited to standard knives I get from warehouse clubs. I would love a fine instrument from Dalstrong to improve my trimming of meat.
I just retired and have enjoyed spending time in the kitchen. We also just bought a smoker so we have enjoyed watching your videos for tips. This knife would make a great addition to the kitchen. Thanks Harry
Love seeing some throw down! But MSG throw down would be more informative. I swear, different brand taste differently
Hey Harry great video! Also purchased your rubs recently and love them! The knife, wow I'd love to win it! Gets tuff using the pocket knife!
I wonder if you can "hop up" the jar version to improve it to say a 9.5?
sure you can!
You saved me! My wife LOVES Asian style ribs and I promised her I would make her something special for her birthday! Now I know how I'm going to do them! They'd be even better if they were cut beautifully with a Dalstrong Santoku knife!!
I just bought my first smoker ever, and found you while researching how to make a brisket for my first smoke ever. I was so excited about cooking it I forgot to get a knife to cut it. This knife would be the perfect start to my collection of Dalstrong knives.
I love the bbq world! I have learned so much throughout the years watching all of you guys ! I enjoy bbq cooking Harry i been a fan of yours for a long time know , thanks for the inspiration to try new things . I currently use old hickory knives. I do my best keeping sharp. That knife looks top quality. It would be a blessing to whoever wins it.
Great video Harry. Quick question.....does your family ever get tired of bbq? Because if they do......with me winning that dalstrong knife....I'd be helping them out alittle. One less knife you prep bbq. Haha. Good luck everyone!!
As always, great information!! Thanks Harry!!
I’m brand new to creating my own BBQ and your videos have really changed my family meals forever!!!
I don't have much of a collection of knives all I have to use is a the big Chinese butcher knife. I used that for trimming brisket to slicing, trimming ribs to cutting them into pieces. Basically my everything use knife. Definitely love to smoke anything from chicken to beef to pork. So this knife would be a great help on preparing things with ease.
Thanks for the great countless videos!
I have thinking about buying a set of Dalstrong knives but I have never used one so I'm kinda on the fence. If I got this one from you this would definitely help me buy the Dalstrong set I have been wanting. Thanks for all the videos keep spreading bbq love you are awesome
Hi Harry, Those look delicious! You make me want to repeat the experiment and try both side by side myself! Since I started BBQing two years ago, I've been slowly replacing my old grocery store knives with decent ones, and my santoku is way behind now, languishing while I use better steel. Santoku profile, though, is one of my favorites, and a Dalstrong would return it to pride of place! :)
Thanks for the comparison, Harry. I’d love to have a quality knife to assist me in spreading the BBQ Love to Friends & Family!
This knife will be great. I have a Henkel chef but looking to make my knife game strong. Looking at Dalstrong from your recommendation. Sure could use this. Just started smoking n grilling this year seriously! FYI love your rubs
Absolutely love these knives, and would love to have this one! Love the content you put out on your channel, and many of your videos/recipes have made me the bar-b-que man I am today. Keep on keeping on, and never teaching us how to make food that brings people together!!
Another great video as always Harry! I like these comparison videos you do and then your judging on them. Can't tell you how i have used your information for ideas and to try new things on my smoker. As far as the knife goes? Who doesn't need another knife lol. Cutlery is definitely something that makes a difference when cutting meats. But not everyone can afford and spend a couple hundred bucks for Kitchen knife. But I wouldn't complain if one was sent to me lol
I love watching and have learned from you’re videos. Thanks. I have had my current knives for 24 years. Maybe it’s time for a new one?
Just got into BBQ when the covid started. Your channel and Baby Back Maniac have been helping me to step my game up. I saw your video with Ryky over at Burrfection and picked up a couple wet stones to sharpen my european knives. But after watching a ton of videos on sharpening I have been really looking for a japanese knife after a lot of research, Dalstrong looks to be the leader in the bang per buck category and getting ready to pull the trigger. Then this video came along and well fingers crossed.
(PS) looks like i subscribed when i was signed in to my alt account (Ronald McDonald) but I have now subscribe with my man account also
Beautiful knife and even prettier Ribs…looks like the 2000 year old recipe wins out in taste and I would choose taste over looks anytime! Great Job Mr. Soo!
Thanks Linda. For a lot less work, the store jar version works pretty good also!
Long time fan of your channel. I have learned so much over these past few years it's absolutely incredible, and my family really appreciates my upgrades in skill level lol. I've been using cutco knives for a few years now and while they are good they aren't great. I would love to have a true chef quality knife to finally add to my collection.
Great video, Harry! You’re a true wonder of the BBQ world! You need to create a cook book my friend... I’d buy it. lol That’s a nice knife... but it’s always about the pit master... never the equipment, right? ;)
So true, it's the cook and not the cooker!
Another great video 👍 I've never won anything so the knife would be great and going to a home where it will find love! Looking forward to your next video.
I have never had a great knife like the Dalstrong. I am a firm believer that more people cut their self on a dull knife than a sharp one. I would be in seventh heaven to own a knife like a Delstrong. As always I love your videos keep up the good work
I can be contacted at tschimmoller@woh.rr.com
Hi Harry, have you tried using your wsm to mimic the Hong Kong siu mei ovens? It looks like with a few accessories like the hanger and vortex could do a pretty good job,but those ribs look perfect!
Yes, just take out the water pan and put a hanger frame and hang your char siu on hooks circling the fire ring. No need to goto Hongkong and bring over the siew yoke or char siu ovens!
Great video Harry! I love char siew and it was great to see another recipe comparison by you. Your first one was awesome too. I'd love to buy a Dalstrong santoku one day, but my Global santoku is going great for now. But don't give it to me - give it to someone who really needs it! It's a beautiful looking knife!
That’s a beautiful knife! My kitchen currently has an Old Hickory 10” butcher and a Chinese Carbon Steel Vegetable Cleaver (Choy Dao). I keep both in good working order with a Wicked Edge sharpener. A Santoku would make a great addition to my arsenal as a nice medium blade.
Hi Harry- was the jar better than the 3 ingredient version you made in the last comparison video? Cheers and give my best to Mr Beans! 🐕
On Mr. Beans recommendation, I must try the jar sauce! Love your channel and have learned a lot. I’ve purchased a WSM based on your success and my neighbors now love my meat. I would love a beautiful Dalstrong knife as it would definitely enhance my culinary experience and looks awesome.
I've never tried the jar myself nor have I used a pit to cook this style of rib (for me the BTU was from a conventional gas oven). If you used the jar, you could add to the flavor complexity of the rib. What few ingredients would you try (please try to limit to two or three ingredients)? That giveaway knife is very high end compared to the one I use from Sam's Club. Thanks for the comparison!! Just a side note - Did Bryson get to judge the ribs and what was his assessment, if he did?
I can't tell you how many times I've had a Dalstrong knife in my online shopping cart but haven't pulled the trigger... If I were to be so lucky as to receive an amazing knife such of that it would help me spread BBQ love, as I have been doing with my friends for many months now! They call me asking for advice, and I either tell them or I direct them to your videos! A new knife would help me take my BBQ game to the next level, with your help of course! Thanks Harry for what you do!
Hey Harry, John from Melbourne again. Going to try my hand at your Char Siew ribs tomorrow. Just wanted to check with you if you still used the same cooking method as usual. 275F for 2.15 + 1.15 + 0.05? I noticed your ribs looked quite dark underneath, which I believe is from the caramelisation of the sugars from the sauce. I assume they were cooked perfectly fine using the tried and trusted method of yours? Thanks mate. 👍
I would go lower temps 225F when there is a lot of sugar in the marinade or rub. Be sure to say hello to Lance Rosen who is my Melbourne student who runs Big Boy BBQ
My husband just loves your channel and has learned a lot from you! I believe this knife will help my husband with his grilling game. I will also love to have such a great knife in my kitchen and maybe get my hubby to help out a little bit more :) These days we’re home so much and cooking all our meals at home so we need all the help we can get!
Harry, I need a Great 1st knife to start my collection. I'm new to the world of smoking bbq, and having a quality blade like this would be an excellent way for me to perfect my trims and slices.
Thanks to you, and the people at Dalstrong for this giveaway.
enjoyed that cook-off brotha...thanx for the info...i think I'll pick up that jar as I've seen it at my market before
Hope you enjoy
Can't go wrong with a good knife and a good recipe to try out.
The jar rib did look just a tad better, but they both looked awesome. I'll take the knowledge I've learned from your channel as my prize. Thanks Harry.
How’s it going Harry, Just want to say whoever wins the knife will be a very happy n lucky person. Not matter If I win or lose .. I’ll still be watching your great video’s . Oh and we all know Mr beans is the star ⭐️ of the show😆😆. Have a blessed day
Hey Harry I just bought a Dalstrong paring(phantom)&boning(gladiator)from your recommendations and others.It seems among the BBQ Pitmasters it's either Dalstrong or Shun.I just sliced up a raw packer brisket(for grinding )using the Dalstrong Boning Knife.The Santoku would have made the job much easier.
Appreciate you sharing your time, passion, and skill with everyone. Knife would help in preparing food for the family. Thank you and be safe.
I would love to try this I always seem to buy knives that won't keep there edge pick me Harry love your you tube shoes and you have made me a better BBQ cook thanks Harry! Keep it up
I'm in the process of buying new knives as my old ones are a cheap set and it's time to grow up and buy something that cuts, not shred. Been eyeing the Dalstrong as they seem solid and have a great reputation. That knife would be a great first piece in my quest for new knives.
Love your channel, I always learn something. The Dalsong shogun knife look amazing, definitely would be the star of my chefs knife collection. I am the chief of the house, I try to do a new recipe every week. Thinking Char siu ribs are going to be on the menu this week. How would the char siu be with children?
I’m just here to comment, don’t need the knife because I have what I need already. What I would like to know is if using the jar is there 1 or 2 simple ingredients you would add to make it more complex? I am a huge fan of Sandra Lee’s semi home made where I can use ready bought supermarket stuff and just modify it a bit to make it my own or better.
