Dexter-RussellWalnut Dough Scraper, Stainless Steel, 6-by-3-Inch, Multicolor

This has served as a durable and excellent scraper. It has a fairly sharp edge which is excellent for cutting dough, cleaning off the countertop, or scooping up your veggies. I try not to put it in the dishwasher since that can be rough on the handle but on the occasion it has suffered such a fate it has survived with no discernible damage.

I wanted a high-quality dough scraper/bench knife and kept coming back to this one from Dexter-Russell. This is a simple piece of kitchen equipment so there's no sense in belaboring the point other than to say that it's a pleasure to still be able to find a US-made product, and of such high quality, to boot. I'm going to take the manufacturer at his word that the handle is walnut; whatever it is, it's beautiful (although I wish the ends had been sanded smooth) and feels wonderful in the hand. The blade is stainless steel and has a good edge (I wouldn't subject it to the rigors of granite or marble too often, though, unless you want to deal with sharpening it). It has a nice heft when being used and, contrary to a previous review, there's no evidence whatsoever that the tang protrudes on either side of the handle--mine is seated perfectly.I do recommend using a wood conditioner on the handle periodically to keep it in good shape but other than that, care is easy: just keep it clean and don't subject any part of the handle to water for extended periods (I hand-wash mine). If you treasure good tools and want a scraper that's nice enough to think of in terms of passing on to someone dear, look no further.

Solid chopper made with pretty, sturdy wood. Like using it for quickly chopping chicken and things of that nature. Works well unless there is a thick skin from pan frying for a while- that’s when it struggles to cut through all the way. You may be able to sharpen it but I haven’t looked into that yet. Other than that it’s great and has other users as well. Mmmmm chicken

This is an excellent size, it fits well in my hand, it's the right weight and it's super sturdy and well made. It's made in the USA, which makes it even better. I'm very happy with this and I know I'll have it for decades to come. Well done, Dexter Russell!

I have used it several times in the past couple of weeks and I am very pleased with this bench scraper! Walnut or Rosewood doesn’t matter to me - it’s beautiful wood and has a comfortable handle, easy to hold handle. The blade cuts my dough precisely and efficiently and I’ve seen no damage to my wooden bread board. The heft is great, seems to be very solidly constructed and it is super easy to clean. I am very satisfied and have no regrets!

I ordered this scraper for bread making and it did not disappoint. It is also useful for scooping up chopped veggies into a pot. The wood handle, however, has been a disappointment. I have other Dexter products with wood handles that have held up well for years. After its first couple of uses the wood has become rough and splintered. I plan at some point on sanding it down hoping to get a smoother feel. I expected more from this quality-driven company.

I purchased the Dexter Russell dough scraper since it is made in the USA. I was concerned due to the negative review about the product quality.The scraper I received has a nicely made smooth wood handle with the blade inserted without exposure on the ends of the handle. The wood is not walnut and appears to be the rosewood. However, this does not detract from the product quality as both woods are good.There are some surface scratches on the blade, but this does not detract from the utility of this scraper.I tried out the scraper with a batch of dough I was making into ciabatta bread and the blade cut my dough beautifully. I used a plastic scraper to clean up my countertop as the Dexter scraper probably would scratch.The logo on the scraper I received is different from the one depicted. However, the same model number is present with USA and the stylized name Dexter.

Seriously can't believe I went so long with out having this.
