Please note: Actual dimensions on this blade are 4-3/8 in. long and 3/4 inch wide. So why do we advertise it as a 5 in. produce knife? Because that's how the manufacturer lists it, and they've been doing it for so many years that customers search for it as a five inch, and we just don't want any confusion about this being a different knife than they've previously used and ordered.

Dexter Traditonal 6 in (110mm) Carbon steel produce knife. This knife is generally used in the preparation of fruits and vegetables in bulk. The lack of a tip makes the product safer to use while the carbon steel blade is flat and easy to sharpen.

Carbon knives can rust if not dried properly after use. If that happens just wet the blade and rub it with a little Bar Keepers Friend (sold with Ajax and Comet at the grocery store). Wash and dry afterward.

The Original Edge: The Dexter-Russell 5.25" Carbon Steel Sheep Skinner This isn't a modern replica; it's the real thing. The Dexter-Russell 5.25" Sheep Skinner is the legendary blade that has been the benchmark in fields and on harvest floors for generations. For the purist who demands the sharpest possible edge and values tradition, this knife is an icon. Proudly forged in the USA from high-carbon steel, it’s a tool built for one purpose: uncompromising performance. The heart of this knife is its classic high-carbon steel blade. Revered by professionals, carbon steel is capable of taking a far keener, more wickedly sharp edge than any stainless steel. The blade’s iconic upswept geometry allows it to glide with precision and control, separating hide from flesh cleanly and efficiently. As you use it, the steel will tell its own story, developing a deep, protective patina—a rich gray coating that is the mark of a well-used and cherished tool. This is the knife your grandfather trusted, and it's built with the same integrity to serve you for a lifetime. Learn More

Dexter-Russell Traditional 5-inch Fishing Knife and Leather Sheath This set pairs the Dexter-Russell Traditional 5-inch Fishing Knife with a Dexter-Russell leather sheath, giving anglers a compact working knife that rides safely on the belt or in a tackle bag. The knife follows the Russell Green River hunt and fish pattern and is built for the tasks that fall between casting and cooking: cutting bait and line, bleeding a catch and cleaning panfish and trout. The sheath protects the edge between uses and keeps the point covered in a crowded boat or bag. The Knife High-carbon stainless steel blade: Dexter-Russell now makes its Traditional knives in high-carbon stainless steel rather than plain carbon steel. The blade takes a keen edge and is easy to restore on a stone or honing steel, and it resists rust considerably better than the carbon steel used in earlier versions of this knife. It is not rust-proof, however; the care notes in the Details tab explain how to protect it. Stiff blade: The blade does not flex, so it provides the leverage needed to cut heavy line and thick bait, bleed larger fish and handle general utility work where a flexible blade would bend. Pointed tip: The fine point pierces skin cleanly to start a cut, opens the belly of panfish and trout, and reaches into tight spaces. Traditional wood handle: The classic Green River handle profile gives a secure, familiar grip during rough work on deck or at the cleaning station. The Sheath Heavy-duty leather: The leather resists punctures from the point and shields the edge from contact with tackle, tools and hard surfaces, so the knife needs sharpening less often. Open-top, friction-fit design: The knife slides in and out in one motion and is held in place by the snug fit of the leather, with no snap or strap to work with wet hands. Choosing the Right Fishing Knife The short, stiff blade suits utility work and smaller fish. To fillet larger fish, choose a longer, flexible blade from our fillet knives. Each item is also sold on its own: the Dexter Traditional 5-inch Fishing Knife and the Dexter-Russell Leather Knife Sheath. Learn More
