Dexter-Russell Cook's Knife 10"

I learned about this knife from an article in the NYT by Mark Bittman. It was poorly packaged and arrived with a bent tip. I emailed Amazon, they refunded my money and told me to keep it. I took it down to my shop and re-grounded the point. I own many knives and this is now my favorite. It sharpens easily with a conventional ceramic sharpener. The blade is thin and slices easily through tomatoes to cruciferous veggies. The handle is non-porous and cleans up easily. This blows the barn doors off my fancy and costly knives which require more pampering than my teenage daughter.

I don't mess around when I cook and have no patience for any knife that is less than excellent!

A knife Must be:

Quick & Easy to Sharpen. Many expensive knives are miserable to try to sharpen.

Have just a bit of flex to the blade, this helps when crushing garlic, cutting around bones etc.

Dishwasher Safe. I like the white plastic handle very ergonomic and easy to see that it's clean.

A knife must have a good blade design. This 10" size with a bit of a curve to the edge is perfect!

Dexter Russell 10" Cooks Knife Has Everything I require in a knife.

It's also a fantastic value. I have used many knives that cost ten-times as much that weren't half as good. This knife is so good that I take it when I travel.

Buy Dexter-Russell Cook's Knife 10" Now

I own several knives from this line including another 10" cook's knife that I bought years ago from a kitchen supply store. I love those. Even as I've added much more expensive knives to my collection, my old 10" knife with the white plastic handle is the first one I always reach for.

I recently ordered this one as a gift. When it showed up, the thickness of the spine was significantly thinner than the one I bought years ago. I assume the company has changed their design over the years. I wound up keeping it for myself and getting a different knife for the gift.

Now both 10" knives are in the knife block. Even though the handles are identical, I can immediately tell whether I have the old or new one just by how it feels in my hand. I would still reccommend the knife, but be prepared. If you're an old fan of Dexter-Russell, this is a cheaper version of what you bought 10 years ago.
