Dexter-Russell DuoGlide 8-inch Chef's Knife

The DuoGlide line is Dexter-Russell’s design for cooks who find standard knives hard on their hands. Dexter gives this 8-inch chef’s knife a large handle shaped to reduce pressure on the joints, and it positions the handle and blade so the cutting hand sits over the cut. Dexter presents the DuoGlide series as well suited to people with arthritis, and this knife carries the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation, a real help for anyone who has experienced hand strain.

With the hand above the work, more of the downward force comes from the arm and less from the fingers and wrist, which makes dicing, mincing and chopping less tiring. Dexter designed the line for commercial kitchens as well as home cooking, so it stands up to daily use. Shoppers search our site for this model by name and number, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a parent or grandparent who still loves to cook. It is made in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
