Dexter Russell 6" Produce Knife w/ Hardwood Handle, Carbon Steel

This is a traditional style produce knife with a carbon steel blade. It is a bit longer than I expected but I’m totally fine with that. Carbon steel takes a razor sharp edge and is easy to sharpen but the blade will become discolored and can rust if left wet. The rust can be removed easily but the discoloration will remain. The patina eventually will look really nice as the knife ages and will protect the knife from rust. Dexter makes a leather sheath that this knife fits perfectly in.

Sharp and thin blade. Rusts easily. I thought it was dry, but I saw some rust stains where a plastic blade cover touches the blade. My fault for not caring for it correctly.

Stays sharp for about a day but the worst part is that it stains instantly!! I was cutting strawberries and then noticed it stain and start getting black crud on my food. I tried it with other stuff and eexactly the same thing occurred. Complete absolute waste of money.

I work for a grocery store and this is great to have! It's a little longer than the standard knife that's issued.

I was very surprised when using the knife for the first time( washed first) to cut fruit, it started to discolor and rust as I was using it. I did an online complaint but it replied that this can happen and is supposed to completely discolor with age. The second time I used it, it had a strong irony smell. I have never had a knife do that.

I have been using this knife every day since purchase, It trims through corn, butts lettuce, freshens broccoli, slivers jicama, radishes and ginger, cuts both Organic and Unconventional fruits and vegetables! This knife is super susceptible to water damage, such as discoloration and rusting. I noticed after a couple months a certain amount of discoloration on mine. Its cutting awesomeness has not diminished and I regularly wipe the blade to keep it in good working condition. I would definitely purchase a carbon steel knife again.

I work in a produce department, it is a comfortable handling knife... Light weight and holds its edge pretty well, but the blade has a tendency to stain easily if the sheath is a lil dirty or when trimming up beets. So cleaning it after use right away is a must...

I work at in the produce department at a grocery store and this knife works amazing! Gets the job done and stays sharp. The blade is carbon steel so you do have to dry it after use so it wont rust but its really easy to maintain. Just look up a video on Youtube. Wooden handle looks better than the plastic one on similar produce knives.
