In my article titled “Chef knife” I outlined the basic features of a Chef’s-knife. What I did not include in the article was how the handle ergonomics plays a major part as a huge concern for many home and novice cooks and professional chefs.

Because a Chef’s knife is used for so many large and sometimes arduous cutting tasks, choosing one that feels and fits comfortably in your hand is tantamount to alleviating any undue amount of stress on your muscles.

The DuoGlide Chef’s knife has an ultra-soft, right-sized textured handle that can be gripped in several ways making it easier for those with arthritis for greater comfort and less hand fatigue.

The Dexter DuoGlide knife features the DuoGlide handle which is soft, right-handed (A left-handed version is slated to be in the making.), and textured for a secure grip, stain-resistant, sealed to the blade to keep food out and best of all Dexter DuoGlide knives are covered under the Dexter lifetime guarantee.

The DuoGlide family of knives is a recipient of the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation.

DuoGlide knives come in four models for all your cutting needs and includes the following features:

• The ultra-soft, right-sized handle with Dex-Tex texture makes it very easy to grip the knife securely
• The scalloped edge increases ability to cut through a variety of surfaces without losing sharpness
• Corrosion resistant, high-carbon, stainless steel blade
• Professional grade cross polish
• Handle is sealed to blade for greater sanitation
• Soft, high-impact, stain resistant handle
• Textured handle for secure grip
• Unique design positions hand directly over the food – greater control, less effort
