An incredibly light main-line chef's knife

The first version of this knife was commissioned for one of the Scotland’s leading private chefs, as his go-to-do-everything blade. We’ve improved the design over the years as we got better at making our blades, but the underlying design remains the same.

As a professional chef’s main blade, this beauty has a blade big enough for meat and veg, but precise enough for herbs and garnishes, as well as impromptu carving.

Incredibly light for its class, the knife is able to carry off a significant cutting edge without needing a large handle. If you like a slightly larger chef’s knife, but don’t want to get bogged down wielding a huge great lump, then this is the one for you.

As with every Savernake, the Dextrous Knife features our trademark concave blade, expertly blended into a tapering convex cutting edge. The blade’s concavity allows the knife to have both a sturdy spine and a cutting edge best measured in microns. It also removes excess weight and encumbrance from the side of the blade and is – in short – the business.

Highlights

  • "Outstanding" sharpness and edge durability
  • 60 HRC Sandvik 14c28n
  • Designed for gentle, frequent maintenance on a steel
  • All purpose
