The blade is forged from Dexsteel, Dexter Russell’s proprietary high-carbon stainless steel known for its outstanding edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. The 10-inch plain edge chef’s blade offers a perfect balance of length and agility, ideal for a wide range of kitchen tasks. With a blade thickness of just 0.06 inches, it moves easily through ingredients while maintaining rigidity for straight, powerful cuts.

The hidden tang construction contributes to its excellent balance, giving the knife a comfortable and stable feel in hand without adding unnecessary bulk. Every movement feels smooth and controlled, making this knife a true asset for both high-volume prep and detailed kitchen work.
The handle is where comfort and innovation come together. Crafted from a combination of gray and black Santoprene and polypropylene, it offers a secure, slip-resistant grip that holds up under moisture, heat, and heavy use. The soft Santoprene overlay provides a cushioned feel that reduces hand fatigue, while the polypropylene core delivers lasting durability and structure. Its ergonomic design fits naturally in the palm, encouraging a neutral wrist position and helping you maintain control during long slicing sessions.
