Dexter-Russell Traditional 8-inch Duo-Edge Chinese Chef's Knife
Slices of potato, eggplant and cucumber cling to a flat cleaver blade. Dexter-Russell’s S5198GE solves that with a Duo-Edge, a straight edge paired with precision scallops that Dexter says reduce drag and sticking. It is Dexter’s full-size Traditional Chinese chef’s knife in its Duo-Edge version.Dexter recommends it for chopping and mincing vegetables and herbs as well as slicing boneless meats. It is a precision tool for slicing, dicing and mincing and should not be used as a meat cleaver. The tall blade also scoops chopped food from board to pan and crushes garlic under the flat. The hollows make thin, even slices of zucchini or daikon easier, since each slice drops away from the steel. Shoppers search for this model by number, and it is a good choice for cooks who prep a lot of starchy or wet vegetables for stir-fries and soups.
