Quality Blade

Sealed to the handle for greater sanitation, the high carbon, corrosion resistant Duo-Edge stainless steel blade has an individually ground and honed edge. When cutting meat, the grooves in its granton-edged blade fill with fat and juices that might inhibit a smooth cut, to allow more contact between the meat and the blade.

Ergonomic Grip

Its incredibly comfortable, high-impact handle is unlike any other; built for all-day use, this knife has an ergonomic grip that will stay put in slippery hands or on slick tabletops. Backed by Dexter's Lifetime Guarantee, this knife is a great addition to any kitchen.

Welcome. Today I'm here to talk about the new way to cut with DuoGlide knives from Dexter. The new way to cut means more comfort and control, plus more efficient cutting requiring less strength. These knives will change the way you work in the kitchen. Let's take a look at DuoGlide's unique design and construction. Each DuoGlide knife features Dexter's perfect Duo, the DuoGlide handle with the DuoEdge blade. The handle is a comfortable fit for any size hand. It's soft and textured, so it's easy to grab, and it feels really comfortable and secure.

Dexter's been making professional cutlery since 1818 and is famous for their Ultimate Edge. It's made of super sharp, high carbon stainless steel and is individually honed and ground. It's corrosion-resistant and sealed to the handle for the utmost sanitation. Let's take a look at the individual knives and talk about the new way to cut.

The ultra-soft, textured handle allows me to grip it securely and comfortable. I can use a traditional pinch grip or I can use a standard grip. Both give me excellent control. The unique design positions my hand above the cutting for greater control and much less effort. It also helps reduce wrist, arm, and hand discomfort. With DuoGlide's new way to cut, you'll love working in the kitchen again. The shape has a subtle curve that allows me to use a rocking motion to chop foods easily and quickly like mint.

Notice that I can cut through this crusty load of bread without crushing the soft inside, all with ease and without pain. Whether it's a delicate tomato or a three-decker sandwich, this slicer will get the job done with minimal effort. The 5" utility knife is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping smaller fruits and vegetables. The ultra-soft, textured handle allows me to grip it securely and comfortable, no matter if I use the traditional pinch grip or standard grip.

Lastly, the wide blade helps to transfer from the cutting board right to the salad bowl. The 3 3/8" paring knife is the ideal tool for peeling, trimming, slicing, and garnishing small fruits and vegetables.

I love this little blade, but there are a few details that I wish I had known before I made my soule purchase, so I'd like to pass along some observations. Firstly, the grip is fantastic. There's a swell in the middle that not only aligns the blade in the hand, but also ensures firm grip. The santoprene material is tacky even when wet, so when doing things like washing hands between tasks, or trimming meat the knife c status alt in hand. That said, the unusual blade shape is sharp along the bottom edge so choking up into a pinch grip can leave that edge grating the middle finger. It can be learned and maneuvered around, but there is a learning curve required. Also, because of they unique shape, in learning to use the nose one can spicy a few Read More

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so gripping things can be painful. This knife has an aggressively textured rubber grip which requires much less grip force to hold securely. The grip is smaller than the DuoGlide Chef Knife, which may appeal to some people, but I have large hands and prefer the larger handle. This handle might be the right size for a paring knife which uses a different style grip, or for someone with smaller hands. I find I usually use the Chef Knife because I tend to do large batches on days I'm feeling less sore.

I bought this because I loved my Dexter-Russell paring knife and I wanted to match it. I love this knife. My favorite feature is how the blade extends back and away from the handle. It cuts easily and stays sharp a long, long time. The handle is soft in your palm and firm enough for total control. It's a cool looking knife and will make you cooler too! LOL! I used to have to bring my expensive Japanese Santoku knife to work from home, but I don't need to anymore. We say buy it. Jeff

Purchased this knife because of the softer handle and hoping it would be useful for hands developing arthritis. The handle feels comfortable but is definitely a bit shorter than I would prefer. I suspect I would have been happier with the larger chef's knife Duo-Glide. This knife cuts through hard vegetables and chocolate just fine.

Pass on this one. Sharp the first time you use it. By the third time, won't even cut a tomato! I will probably buy a sharpening stone just to be able to continue using, but just don't buy this at all. I tried it for the size. Slightly larger than a pairing knife, yet smaller than a chef's knife. Looks nice, but does not remain sharp. Totally disappointed should have bought the brand my neighbor recommended for the same price.

Thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that the knife you purchased has difficulty staying sharp. For a sharper edge, try Mercer's Deba (Utility) Knife.
