Review on Dexter Duo Edge Santoku Style Chefs by Kimberley Cook

I have used traditional white handled Dexter Russel knives for many years and find them excellent - my current 9" white chef's knife has lasted over 10 years. This knife is from a newer "v-lo" series which is even better. The knife feels great in the hand. the handle lies very well in the hand and is set far enough away from the blade that the knuckles of my rather large hand do not hit the cutting board when cutting with the roller. Slightly rubberized handle material ensures a good grip even with wet hands. The blade is pleasantly shaped for general chopping tasks, the "Granton-Edge-Pattern" (ie small ovals sharpened close to the cutting edge) helps here. prevent cut material from sticking to the knife. Best of all, it's light weight. This blade feels a lot lighter in the hand than most comparable knives I've used, and I find it does. This knife is a real pro. pleasure of use. What's not to like? It's nimble, ergonomic, damn sharp, and even reasonably priced.
