## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you make this for left hand?**
A: Hi Seaktanny, 

Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest! Unfortunately, all of our Phantom Series knives are constructed with traditional Japanese D-shaped handles, making these more suitable for right handed users. We do however have a Yanagiba for both our Shogun and Gladiator series collections in the works. Both of these versions will be ambidextrous. I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause. 

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.. Thank you and have a great weekend.

**Q: What does "hollow ground" mean?**
A: Hey Drew, 

Thanks for your inquiry! "Hollow Ground" refers to the rectangular shaped, concave, beveled edge on the edge of the blade. This hollow divots help to prevent friction and food from sticking to the side of the knife. 

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us at info@dalstrong.com. Thank you.

**Q: Can a left handed person use this knife?**
A: Hi Kelly!It's great to hear from you. Thank you for your interest in Dalstrong. The Phantom Series knives have what's known as a D-Shaped handle. These handles are suited for right handers. On the other hand, our Gladiator, Shogun and Ceramic knifes are all ambidextrous. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! We always love hearing from our customers.

**Q: What's the difference between this and the shogun series version?**
A: Hi there, 

Thank you for reaching out and for your interest! The biggest difference between the Phantom Series and the Shogun Series Kiristuke's is the type of steel used in the construction of the blade itself. The Phantom Series is constructed with Japanese AUS-8 steel with a hardness rating of 58+, whereas the Shogun Series is crafted with Japanese VG10 super steel with a hardness rating of 62+. The handles also vary, the Phantom Series is made with a pakkawood handle, and the Shogun with a G10 Garolite handle. Last, the Phantom Series blade is 9.5" in length, whereas our Shogun series Kiristuke is 8.5" in length. 

I hope that helps!
