Designed for executive chefs, this 9" Carver - Connoisseur® Series (11-9) from Dexter-Russell combines premium materials and expert craftsmanship to achieve a superior knife that is ideal for front-of-the-house use in fine dining establishments. The rosewood handle provides a warm and natural look and feel that is made incredibly sanitary with an engineering process that impregnates the handle with polymers and resins that prevent harmful bacteria from cultivating in the wood. Incredibly well balanced from tang to tip, the high carbon steel blade is individually ground to achieve the ultimate edge. Made in the USA by Dexter-Russell, the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the U.S., this Carver will provide years of quality service.
