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.

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!

High quality

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

I've been using this dough scraper at my job as an artisanal baker for a month. The handle is definitely rosewood, not walnut or bubinga (I'm a hobbyist woodworker as well). The blade is much, much thinner than most dough scrapers, which I was skeptical of at first but have really grown to like, especially when dicing butter. There are 2 reasons I give this scraper a 4 star rating instead of a 5. First is that the blade on mine arrived bent, like it came off the end of the roll of steel that it was stamped from & secondly, the corners are extremely sharp. While I do like a good crisp corner for clean cuts, they are way too sharp & will damage your work surface. A couple light passes on a sharpening stone will blunt them just right. Overall it's a good scraper & has held up in a fast paced professional bakery very well. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

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.

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!

Easy to use! The handle is wood and nice. Great value and easy to clean. The perfect size and I can use it for pizza or dough.

Bought two of these on amazon: this one and a cheaper version. They're great if you're into bread making. My mother-in-law has been making homemade bread for years and she fell instantly in love with this product. I kept the more expensive one for myself; however there isn't much of a difference. Great product but if I was ordering again, I would get two of the cheaper ones.
