Dexter-Russell S145-10PCP 10-Inch Chef’s Knife, Sani-Safe Series Professional Kitchen Knife, High-Carbon Stainless Steel DEXSTEEL Blade, Textured White Polypropylene Handle, Heavy-Duty Chef Knife

I have found this to be a great quality knife that was very sharp right out of the box. Attention to detail is high with this brand and now looking at their nicer quality knives to replace other knives in the kitchen. I have been using it for a while now and the steel is excellent and no concerns with staying sharp. The handle is an interesting material. It feels industrial and will not slip even when wet which I like. It also cleans nicely. While the steel is maybe thinner than other knives I have had in the past, this has not impacted performance at all and has been a great additional for the money.

Sharp. Good quality. Inexpensive.

My husband needed another knife for cutting and chopping. The price during Amazon prime days was on point. The handle is strong and well made. Knife is super sharp and meets his needs in the kitchen. Would buy again!!

This may be my very best Amazon purchase ever. Except for the ubiquitous bulletproof plastic packaging which I had to use metal cutters on in order to open, Im so happy with this knife. It immediately got a strong test of sharpness, as I had warmed a piece pf pork shoulder - most of which went into pulled pork. Why was it such a strong test? Because the meat was so completely falling apart done with a strong tendency to shred, but I wanted to slice it cross grain. All but impossible with ordinary knives. This went right through - no problem. It would have simply mashed up & fallen spart with another knife. I tried it on a tomato & some broccoli too. Superb slicing. The steel appears to be of the highest quality and I believe it will be very durable if properly cared for - dried & stored properly - using a sharpening steel only until it becomes absolutely necessary to use a more aggressive sharpening method. The handle is ergonomic, fitting my small hands well & yet still appropriate for larger hands. I cannot imagine how much engineering went into this in order to cover so many bases so well. This knife was recommended to me by a chef. I can only say Thank You for such good advice!

I can't say enough good about this knife. I've owned and loved my Victorinox 8" Fibrox chef knife for some time now at the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen. Then I found out about this brand (Dexter) through friends that work in commercial kitchens and quickly came to learn that Dexter is one of the MOST popular brand of knives used in commercial kitchens today! So after hearing that, I had to pick one up and find out what all the fuss was about, and also see how it stacked up against my Victorinox 8" fibrox chef knife (which I love).Once I started doing more research about the Dexter company, I came to find that they are located right in my home state of Massachusetts, and that they are the oldest knife maker in the United States, founded in 1818. Dexter was also the first company to start producing knives with synthetic (plastic-type) handles. I also read that each of their knives are individually sharpened by hand before they leave the factory.Once I received my knife, I noticed that Dexter even takes care to make sure that all of their packaging are made from recycled materials and are eco-friendly, with attempts at creating a smaller footprint. Very well done Dexter!After removing the knife from the package, I immediately took note of how comfortable the handle was. Extremely ergonomic and comfortable! It became immediately apparent why these knives have been used in commercial kitchens for so very long! The next thing I noticed was that the edge came sharp, very sharp in fact! As a professional blade sharpener, I was quite impressed with the factory edge, and only quickly touched it up so I could achieve a hair popping edge.After a few weeks of heavy home use cutting lots of veggies for asian stir fries, salads, and other dishes, I must stay that this Dexter has quickly become my baby! I'm so impressed with the level of performance and the level of comfort that this knife employs! Let me tell you folks, this knife is a must have! It also costs less than the Victorinox chef knives!As if this wasn't enough, here are some of the added benefits of this Sani-Safe series of Dexter knives - Built to be both tough and sanitary. A textured, slip-resistant, easy-to-clean polypropylene handle withstands both high and low temperatures. An impervious blade-to-handle seal provides the utmost in sanitary qualification. Stain-free, high-carbon steel blade, with an individually ground and honed edge, excels in commercial use. Made in USA. Items marked with the NSF logo are NSF Certified.

this is a good knife BUT it is longer than 10" - it's quite long, actually. much longer than you think it'll be. that said, it works fine :) stays sharp. overall it is lovely.l

I have used crappy walmart knives for quite some time. I was a bit shocked just how sharp this one was but it has been great. The handle is a little rough in my hand but overall it's a good weight, good size. I made the mistake of getting the 10 inch one first and thankfully was able to return it for this one. This is a good sized knife.

I have so many knives, but I couldn't pass this one up. American-made, super sharp and big. I love mine. I read that chefs actually use knives like these instead of their fancy expensive knives. I can see why. I used it the first time to chop large pieces of meat into bite-size and that long blade really helped. It cut down the time when you have a lot to cut up. I would buy again.Also I kept the plastic packaging and cut it to make a holder for it. I just slide that big knife under a rack I have in my kitchen.
