The Daozi is designed for strength, control, and long-lasting performance during heavy prep. Its long, slightly curved blade allows for smooth slicing motions, while the tall, broad profile adds stability when chopping and breaking down meat. This shape keeps the blade grounded, reducing bounce and effort with every cut. Hand-crafted from high-carbon steel, it delivers excellent edge retention and durability you can rely on. Balanced and comfortable in hand, the Daozi is ideal for cooks who want a tough, dependable butcher knife with a bold, raw look.

*All Coolina knives are custom-made, so they may slightly vary in size.
Each Coolina blade is hand forged using a 600-year-old Serbian technique — repeated heating and hammering that aligns the steel for strength, balance, and edge retention.
The result? A high-carbon steel blade that holds a razor-sharp edge longer than the competition, feels naturally balanced in hand, and cuts cleaner over time.
Most brands mass-produce their knives, compromising on feel, weight, and balance. At Coolina, there are no shortcuts — just fire, steel, and centuries of craftsmanship behind every blade. Professional, handmade performance with the signature badass Coolina look.
Cleaning
Because these knives are made from high-carbon steel, they should always be washed by hand immediately after use. Carefully wash, then dry the knife completely before storing to prevent moisture from remaining on the blade. Never put Coolina knives in the dishwasher.
Oiling
Our knives come pre-oiled, but after cleaning and drying, we recommend lightly oiling the blade. You can use our mineral oil or any food-safe oil of your choice. Regular oiling helps protect the blade and keeps your knife performing at its best.
Sharpening
Our knives come razor sharp right out of the box and will stay sharp for months. If you want to keep them as sharp as possible, we recommend using our whetstone.
Coolina stands behind the quality of our knives. Our Limited Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the product.
If your knife is found to have a qualifying defect, we will replace it at no charge. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage outside of craftsmanship defects. Please refer to our Protection Program Terms for full details and exclusions.
Our knives look absolutely badass while delivering professional, handmade quality.
Viking-inspired blades you won’t find anywhere else.
Unique, bold, and absolutely unmissable
without compromise.
Experience effortless cuts that feel like slicing through anything like butter with Coolina. The high carbon steel blade holds its edge, staying sharper for longer.
The steel runs through the entire handle, giving the knife a solid, balanced feel in your hand. The weight is intentional, making it easy to control and letting the knife do the work for you.
Backed by a lifetime warranty you’ll likely never have to use, our knives are built tough and extremely durable. Go ahead and put them to the test — they’re practically indestructible.

The chef's knife is probably the one I use the most, so far. But all the knives I ordered our great choppers and general purpose. Kitchen knives. The magnetic display board is no joke. Powerful magnet that works on both sides. I have all four of the new knives I ordered, the four stake knives and an older knife that was given to me by my grandfather.
Sharp, durable, balanced, pay close attention to care for the high carbon steel and with three you have a good set for life. I use mine every chance I get and absolutely love the way the cut, dice, and slice meat and veggies. The meat comes right off the bone as precise as you want it sliced or diced. Overall great knives
It is a solid, high quality blade. Incredible, weight is on dot, and the shape, I love it. Baalanced? Yes it is, very well balanced. Highly recomend this one. You can cut quite large stuff due to its amazing size.
This knife is awesome! Great weight and balance. It feels natural in your hand, and will slice through a tomato like butter.
Sharp right out of the box. Solid construction, and a great feel in the hand.
They heavy, feel solid !
This is from my annual Ribeye, Bacon-Cheddar Burger Cookout...1-1/4LB. Burger Patty, two 1LB. Ribeye Steaks as the Bun, 1/2LB of Smoked bacon, and 1/4LB. Aged Cheddar, it's an al-together "Outstanding" display of culinary debauchery!
Cuts through anything like butter, Very satisfied
Was impressed by the heft and sharpness of the blade. Feels well balanced while using.
The perfect knifes!!!!
Can’t wait to start using my new knives and board, I’ll have to barbecue more often!
Good quality knives! I use them everyday in the kitchen. It is my therapy after a Long Day's work. Only complaint is, I wish Coolina would make a longer magnetic knife stand to display my other 5 Coolina knives.
Cuts through just about anything you want, feels good in the hands, seems to be very balanced, watch out it's very sharp, if you're looking for a versatile knife then this is what you're looking for.
Normally I use my promaja knife to do vegetables, but last night I decided to try chopping vegetables with the chef’s knife. It worked slick, a simple rocking motion and worked my way down the celery stalks. I made 1/8” slices out of two cucumbers and did several carrots. I also sliced some radishes, it is a winner. I have used it to make chicken tenders out of chicken breasts and to dice up roasts for chili. The edge is amazing and the knife is easy to use. You just can’t beat that promaja though.
The Promaja is the best slicing knife you will ever find. Cuts so clean and sharp like nothing I’ve ever used before Looks so cool too. Such an amazing knife. Any thickness. any steak, and Cuts perfect every time. Has become my wife’s favorite too.
Absolutely love the look and feel!! I just ordered the Shark.
Chops cabbage like a son-of-a-*****!! So versatile!! Love this one.
OMG! Christmas Ham will never be served again without using the chef’s knife for carving the ham. Take a look at how easy it was to carve the ham into all the pieces which look perfect for serving Could not believe how universal this knife was while cutting the ham in different sections and making it look literally like it came from a restaurant Thank you guys so much. This is an amazing knife. Curt Shewell
Magnificent blade, chops, shovels and hold a keen edge. Beautiful balance. My go to kitchen knife.
Super sharp and a real crowd pleaser. Now I need a way to sharpen it that doesn’t involve a pull through sharpener or whetstone
The chef knife is i think one of my favorites and most used and complimented on
Handles great. Extremely sharp.
Got these for Father's day. The best knives I've ever owned. They were super sharp right out of the box. Very good quality and feel good in my hand. Love these knives. Jim
Love them all! They came in sharp but, I like to put my own Edge on. Sharpened up really nice and stupid sharp now.
My husband is obsessed. I kinda bought on a whim for Father’s Day and he loved it so much I’m kicking myself for not also getting the gator and getting the deal. All he does now is send me the different knives he wants from the site lol
All 10 knives and the magnetic block are all great. Couldn't have asked for a better set of knives. And they look awesome in the kitchen.
To be honest, upon opening the box I was quite disappointed that the knife was very dull. That being said, I quickly sharpened it up and have been very pleased with the quality of the knife. Just heavy enough for tough cuts yet extremely manageable. I am very happy with the purchase.
I love using this knife it is very well made
Great knife for fresh wildmeat and vegetables. Good weight and super sharp. Thank you Coolina...
Very nice knifes, good weight, well balanced! And comfortable to use!
I own one. I gave this one as a gift to a great friend. He loves it.
Amazing knife!!
I am highly satisfied with this knife. My purchase of it has proven to be a wise decision. I was in need of a new knife set, and I am pleased that I chose Coolina.
Each and every one of my knives are awesome I love them and I will be getting all that you guys produce eventually
These knives are awesome and look great in my kitchen.
