Dexter-Russell Connoisseur 12-inch Duo-Edge Roast Slicer (40D-12)

The Connoisseur line is Dexter-Russell’s dressed-up wood-handled cutlery, and shoppers search for this 12-inch Duo-Edge roast slicer by the Connoisseur name. It is the most visited Dexter slicer on our site, and Dexter describes it as a knife for any size cut of meat, from a holiday roast to a ham or a turkey.

The Duo-Edge pattern puts alternating hollows on the side of the blade, which let air in between the steel and the meat so thin slices fall away from the knife. Twelve inches lets one long stroke cross a standing rib roast or a whole brisket, giving even slices without sawing. It makes a handsome carving knife for the holiday table, and it pairs with the Traditional 13.5-inch Cook’s Fork to steady the roast.
