Dexter (Russell) kitchen knives

Don't see much written about them. Any reason? I have a few and they get really sharp, real quick with the DMTs or the Norton 1K waterstone. Anybody else use these in the kitchen?

I use 'em at work (a chefs knife and a bread knife). They aren't bad...they don't hold an edge very long with medium use (I work in the deli at Costco), and we go through them (ie, throw them away) about once every month. And they get dinged up fairly easily. Haven't been able to try to sharpen them, Costco doesn't let us take stuff home, even if we bring it back.

They also rust fairly easy...

You do know that borders on blasphemy on a site like this, right?

Odd, I have one that I've used for several years cleaning saltwater fish, never a spot of rust on that one. Must be different carbon compositions.

I have a sheep skinner that I got as a present, now it has more sentimental value than anything else. Same comments, although mine is sani-stainless, it rusts pretty easily.

It doesn't bother me, with daily usage, rust just isn't an issue at all. For long term storage, mineral oil takes care of it.

I like mine, it's very ergonomic, and you don't break the bank with them.
