LONG DESCRIPTION
The Dexter Russell Traditional 4 ½” Sheath Knife is crafted for those who demand control and reliability when processing meat and poultry. Whether you’re trimming tenderloins, removing silver skin, or working through poultry skin, this compact yet robust knife is built to perform.
Its high-carbon steel blade holds a fine edge while resisting staining and damage. The rosewood handle is smooth and ergonomically formed for grip comfort during long processing sessions, and the brass compression rivets provide a secure, balanced feel—expanding or contracting with the blade for a snug fit over time.
