Dexter Sani-Safe 5 in. Produce Knife
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 Traditional 6 in. Produce Knife
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.

Dexter Traditional 7" Carbon Steel Meat Cleaver
The Industrial Standard for Professional Butchery When it comes to heavy-duty butchering, weight and steel integrity are non-negotiable. The Dexter Russell Traditional 7" Carbon Steel Cleaver (SKU 8070) is not a delicate kitchen tool; it is a 1.5-pound industrial instrument designed for the rigorous demands of restaurant kitchens and commercial butcher shops. Crafted in the United States, this cleaver belongs to the 'Traditional' line, a series that has defined American cutlery for generations. The blade is forged from high-carbon steel, a material favored by professional butchers for its unique ability to take a screaming-sharp edge and maintain it through repetitive impacts. Unlike stainless steel, this carbon blade will develop a characteristic patina over time—a badge of honor that signals its history and use. At a weight of 1.5 lbs, the tool does the work for you. Whether you are splitting poultry, breaking down ribs, or chopping through thick-skinned root vegetables, the 4.5-inch blade width provides the stability and momentum required for clean, decisive strokes. The handle, made from classic American Beechwood, is secured with heavy-duty rivets, offering a tactile, slip-resistant grip that warms to the hand during extended use. This is the definitive tool for those who prioritize performance, heritage, and the undeniable durability of American craftsmanship. Learn More$57.25 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional 8-Inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver
The Legacy of American Craftsmanship Meets Traditional Utility For over a century, the Dexter 8" Chinese Vegetable Cleaver (SKU 8051) has been the definitive choice for chefs who demand a balance of weight, precision, and durability. Originally designed to meet the rigorous demands of Chinese immigrants in the early 1900s, this cleaver has evolved into a modern kitchen essential. Unlike a heavy bone cleaver, this vegetable-focused tool features a refined 50/50 bevel grind that allows for paper-thin slicing of ginger, julienning of scallions, and the rapid dicing of dense root vegetables. Proprietary DEXSTEEL™ Metallurgy At the heart of this tool is Dexter-Russell’s proprietary DEXSTEEL™. This high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel is specifically engineered for professional environments. It is heat-treated to a Rockwell Hardness of 54, providing an ideal 'sweet spot' for edge retention. This allows the blade to remain sharp through long shifts while remaining easy to hone back to a razor's edge without specialized industrial equipment. Authentic Walnut Ergonomics The traditional aesthetic is completed by a rugged, triple-riveted walnut handle. Walnut provides a naturally slip-resistant grip that warms to the hand over time, offering superior comfort during high-repetition tasks. The 3.05mm spine thickness provides the necessary heft to let the weight of the knife do the work, reducing wrist fatigue and ensuring straight, consistent cuts every time. Whether you are scooping chopped ingredients with the wide 3.25-inch blade or crushing garlic cloves with the flat, this cleaver is the ultimate multitasker for the serious cook. Learn More$64.65 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional Series Chinese Vegetable Cleaver, 7-Inch
The Gold Standard of Versatility: American-Made Precision in Every Slice For over a century, Dexter-Russell has stood as the pillar of American cutlery, and the 7-inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver (Model S5197) is a testament to that enduring legacy. Originally designed to meet the rigorous demands of Chinese immigrants at the turn of the century, this cleaver has evolved into a mandatory tool for any chef who prioritizes speed, precision, and durability. Unlike heavy bone-crushing cleavers, this vegetable cleaver features a refined, thin-profile blade specifically engineered for slicing, dicing, and mincing with effortless fluidity. Crafted in the USA, the blade is forged from proprietary High Carbon Stainless Steel. This isn't just a marketing term; it represents the perfect 'sweet spot' in metallurgy. With a Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of 54, the steel is tough enough to hold a razor-sharp 50/50 bevel edge through a full shift of prep work, yet resilient enough to be quickly honed back to perfection with a steel. This prevents the micro-chipping often seen in harder, more brittle Japanese steels, making it the ideal workhorse for high-paced commercial environments. The ergonomic design extends to the traditional wood handle, which provides a warm, natural grip that remains secure even when hands are wet. Whether you are performing a delicate julienne or scooping up a mountain of chopped aromatics with the wide blade face, the Dexter Chinese Cleaver offers a level of balance and control that mass-produced imports simply cannot replicate. Invest in a tool that doesn't just cut—it elevates your culinary efficiency. Learn More$42.60
