Get a grip
In my article “What is a Chef’s knife”? I outlined what how a a Chef’s knife is made, e.g. what the blade is made of, the process that was used to make it, its balance and weight, design and where it was manufactured.
What I didn’t address was one major concern that many cooks and professional chefs take into consideration when they are choosing a Chef’s knife – ergonomic handle design.
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 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 Dexter DuoGlide Chef’s knife provides more than just ergonomics
Like most Chef’s knives the Dexter DuoGlide All-Purpose Chef’s Knife is an essential tool you’ll use every day for cutting, slicing, or working in a rocking motion for chopping.
Its unique design makes it the perfect go-to knife for ease and versatility and is ideal for chopping, dicing, mincing, or slicing fruits, vegetables and other ingredients.
It comes with a knife guard (edge guard) that helps to protect the knife’s blade and keep it sharp.
