Dexter-Russell Traditional 6-inch Produce Knife, Carbon Steel
Dexter-Russell’s Traditional 6-inch produce knife is the most visited produce knife among the Dexter pages on our site. It is a long, slim knife with a blunt end, and Dexter calls it ideal for slicing and dicing foods like onions and tomatoes. The rounded end keeps a sharp point away from the hand during fast cutting, which suits a market stand or a home cook working through a garden harvest. Grocery chains use it to trim produce, and growers use it at harvest for crops such as celery.The blade is the old-fashioned kind that takes a very fine edge and darkens with use. Dry it after washing and give it a few strokes on a honing steel, and it will stay sharp through a season of canning tomatoes and putting up peppers. Dexter has made knives in Southbridge, Massachusetts, since 1818, and its Traditional patterns are especially popular in the Northeast.

Dexter-Russell Traditional 5-inch Fish Knife, Carbon Steel
Dexter-Russell has sold this pattern for generations, and its Dexter Outdoors line still calls it the Green River Traditional 5-inch fish knife. It is a short, stout working knife for the boat and the dock. It cuts bait and line, bleeds a catch, guts panfish and trout, and cleans small fish at the end of the day.The 5-inch blade is carbon steel, which Dexter describes as its classic high-carbon blade, individually ground and honed. Carbon steel takes a keen edge and sharpens quickly on a pocket stone, the reason many anglers still prefer it to stainless. It will rust if left wet with salt water and develops a dark patina with use. The model 4215 is a common search on our site, and these Traditional knives are especially popular with fishermen in the Northeast.
Fish Knife or Fillet Knife?Anglers who carry a knife on the belt or in a tackle bag can buy this same knife with a leather sheath as the Dexter Traditional 5-inch Fishing Knife and Sheath. For filleting larger fish, choose a longer, flexible blade such as the Sani-Safe 7-inch Narrow Flexible Fillet Knife. Learn More$24.25 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional 3.25-inch Paring Knife, Carbon Steel
Dexter-Russell’s Traditional 3.25-inch paring knife is the small companion to its classic wood-handled cook’s knives, and shoppers find it by its item number, 15271. Dexter recommends it for peeling fruits and vegetables, cutting cheese and other basic prep.The blade takes a very fine edge and comes back quickly on a honing steel or a fine stone. It develops a gray patina with use and must be dried after washing, so it suits cooks who enjoy looking after their knives. In the hand it is light and nimble, good for hulling strawberries or coring tomatoes, and a handy knife to keep beside the sink for quick jobs. Dexter builds it in Southbridge, Massachusetts, and the Traditional line has long had a following in Northeast kitchens.
A Stain-Free AlternativeFor a parer that needs no special drying, the Sani-Safe 3.25-inch Cook’s Style Paring Knife has the same blade length, and the V-Lo 3.5-inch Paring Knife adds a cushioned grip. Learn More$12.45 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional 8-inch Chinese Chef's Knife, Carbon Steel
The 5178 is Dexter-Russell’s carbon steel Chinese chef’s knife, with a full 8 x 3.25 inches of blade. It is the most visited Chinese cleaver on our site, and cooks search for it by its model number. Bon Appétit, Wirecutter and Randy Lau of Made With Lau are among those who recommend it.Dexter’s list of jobs for it runs from crushing and mincing to slicing. The broad blade smashes garlic and ginger and carries food from the board to the wok. It is a mainstay in Asian and Caribbean cooking, where it handles every cutting job, even peeling ginger and potatoes. Bone calls for a heavy meat cleaver, so keep this one to vegetables and boneless meat. A carbon edge gets very sharp and is easy to restore, and it will rust and discolor if left wet, so it rewards cooks who dry it after use. Dexter’s Traditional knives have a long following in the Northeast, close to the Southbridge, Massachusetts factory where Dexter has made knives since 1818.
Carbon or Stain-Free?For a stain-free blade in the same size, see the Traditional 8915 or the Duo-Edge S5198GE. Learn More$40.85
