Common Questions About Dexter Russell
Are Dexter Russell knives any good?
Dexter Russell cutlery has been making knives for more than 200 years. With this wealth of experience, the company has refined its knives into specialized categories—some are designed to fulfill specific purposes and others made to meet a wide range of kitchen needs. Dexter Russell knives have a proprietary metal called DexSteel™, which is a high-alloy steel made to excel in commercial kitchens. DexSteel is harder than average steel, giving a sharper, longer-lasting edge. A good, sharp knife quickens food prep significantly and decreases food waste, as a dull knife might ruin neat cuts you want for presentation. DexSteel also has exceptional tensile strength, which means it doesn't chip and the edges don't roll as often as other steel might. DexSteel combines the benefits of carbon steel with those of stainless steel to produce a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant knife that holds an incredibly sharp edge.
Which Dexter Russell commercial knife do I need?
Most commercial kitchens need a range of knives available for their chefs to choose from. Each task can be hastened with the right tools, and Dexter cutlery provides you with a single trustworthy line of products to add. You'll want to start with a cook's knife (or chef's knife). These wide blades are great for cutting large volumes of food and perfect for the rapid chopping motion in which the point never leaves the cutting board. Boning knives are narrower and best suited for deboning (of course) and preparing cuts of meat – slicers and carving knives also serve this purpose. Utility knives are made for nonsolid fruits and vegetables, such as cabbage, oranges, tomatoes, or squash. Paring knives have multiple different styles within their category, each suited to different tasks. Refer to our Dexter Russell knife guide linked above for further information on which style of knife fits your needs.
