10 in Chef's Knife

The Dexter-Russell 31601B is a 10 inch chef's knife designed for professional kitchen preparation. Its curved steel blade and sanitary polypropylene handle suit chefs and food-service workers needing a reliable cutting tool. NSF certification confirms compliance with public health standards for food equipment. The overall length measures 15 inches with a 5 inch handle.

Upgrade from worn or non-compliant blades

This knife replaces dull, damaged or non-NSF certified knives that slow down prep work and risk health-code violations. The jump is worth it when your current blade no longer holds an edge or lacks the required sanitation certification. A curved steel blade with a finger guard improves control during high-volume slicing and chopping tasks. The black and white handle aids visual identification in busy kitchens.

Check handle preference and care routine

Verify that a 5 inch sanitary polypropylene handle fits your grip and meets your facility's colour-coding rules. Confirm your kitchen can maintain hand-washing only, as this knife is not dishwasher safe. Ensure a 10 inch curved blade matches the cutting tasks you perform most often. The knife is not metal detectable, so consider that if your operation uses foreign-object detection systems.

Questions about this item

What overall length and blade length does the 31601 Chef's Knife have for storage planning?

The knife measures 15 in overall with a 10 in blade, so allow at least that much clearance in a drawer or rack slot.

How is the Sanitary Polypropylene handle attached and what step do users often miss during first use?

The handle is permanently bonded to the steel tang; the step many skip is a thorough hand wash before first use because the knife is not dishwasher safe.

When should the 10 in blade be professionally sharpened or the knife replaced?

Sharpen when the curved edge no longer slices cleanly after regular steeling; replace if the blade develops chips, deep pitting, or the handle shows cracks around the finger guard.
