DBx Knife reviews
Darryl Q. — Home Cook & Hunter

"After losing my index and middle fingers on my dominant hand, standard knife handles were no longer functional for me.
DBx Knives designed and crafted a full custom handle — adjusting grip angle and contours specifically to work with my hand as it is today.
The result made meal preparation and processing deer — skinning and deboning — not just possible, but easier and less painful than I expected."
A 15° index correction keeps downforce centered over the cutting edge at all times . . .
reducing: the level of clamping force necessary to control the knife path,
along with fatigue & risk of injury.
“It keeps the soreness out of my hand.
I have what’s called Essential Tremors.”
“I can get it (onions) sliced nice and thin and I can even dice them easily.
When I use over it long periods of time, it does not cause the pain to start coming down my arm.
He (Daniel) asked a lot of questions like, was I right or left handed & what size knife did I use regularly.
He came up with what’s the best knife for me.
I don’t use any other knife.
I keep it downstairs in my little kitchen where I can slice up Apples.
I keep it put away so none of the kids decide they want it.
And if you hold it right, it does nice and it’s got a place to rest your thumb.
No harsh wrist angle, just nice and flat.”
“I thank Daniel every day for this knife.”

I Can Feel Pressure Distribution Throughout My Entire Hand — Which Clearly Gives It Much More Power.
"I was amazed at the power of the knife. I didn't feel like I had to use as much pressure.
The pressure using a normal knife is in the small crook of my index finger, under the knuckle — but no real power distribution through the palm.
With your handle I can feel pressure distribution throughout my entire hand, which clearly gives it much more power.
I can't remember if you said 12 or 20x more surface area — but I believe it now.
I also noticed slightly less pronation in the wrist, within 15 minutes of knife use, which was more comfortable.”
“The feel of the material is extremely comfortable even though it's hard.”
“Pretty amazing"
Note: DBx handles provide 10x to 40x more Effective grip contact surface area than traditional chef knife handles tested.

"DBx Knives Didn't Just Give Me Better Tools, They Saved My Career.”
“Working the floor as a USDA Inspector, the physical toll on my hands had become unbearable.
With constant swelling and numbness, I was desperate for a solution that didn't seem to exist.
I was at a breaking point, knowing I couldn't continue this work much longer with the tools I was using.
DBx Knives custom-built a sheepskin knife and a left-handed meat hook with handles designed specifically for my grip . . .
— tools that meet all industry guidelines while fitting my hands with absolute precision. The relief was immediate.
“If you are struggling with the wrong equipment and need a real solution,
DBx is the answer."
This is all that
it takes

" YES - even my hands have something.
I can finally navigate the kitchen."
"I have arthritis and I've had it for a really long time.
With standard knives I have to hold really tight and my hands get really stiff.
The ridges are customized for my hands.
I'm holding it and it grips perfectly around my knuckles.
I didn't have to put a lot of pressure down. They slice so well — I can even slice an onion. It's easy. It's amazing.
They customized a color just for me — purple, my favorite.”
“It's my favorite knife
now and forever."

"These custom kitchen knives are an ergonomic masterpiece.
“The handles fit every single surface and joint of your hand and fingers with millimeter precision . . .
— the exact shape of your hand, giving you a powerful pinch grip.
Daniel built a custom chef knife from a blade I designed, and he refined the geometry to perfect it.
An insanely amazing handle that fits just like a glove."
“After about 8 days of use I sold my Wüsthof chef knife.”

After decades of professional knife use, painful, debilitating level’s of deep tissue damage accumulated in my thumb & finger from Knife use.
I currently manage the pain with periodic medical intervention.
The DBx knife is the only knife I can use without inducing painful pressure levels in my hand.
It lets me work without aggravating the injuries that limit the use of my hand.

"I've spent my career surrounded by fine kitchen knives.
I have packed all of my other knives away.
The only one I use, is my DBx knife . . .
- and you aren't getting it back."

"Our household has both a right-handed and left-handed cook . . .
and we each have DBx knives fitted precisely to our own dominant hand.
My left-handed DBx handle is sized and contoured to fit my hand exactly.
The blade is also sharpened for left-handed users, preventing the knife from steering off course when slicing.”
DBx knives have become a household staple — from the kitchen to the grill

I’ve had the knife about 2 weeks now and I am in awe of it.
So comfortable for my hand and my arm, and I feel like I’m better at chopping than I was before.
After 1 week “I Asked husband to pack all the knives away, Get them off the kitchen counter.”
Now this is the only knife that I use,
After 2 weeks “I can just throw out the rest of them”.
I’m delighted with this.
