Dexter-Russell Basics Scalloped Slicer

The scalloped edge acts like a series of small teeth, allowing the blade to grip and pierce tough outer crusts or skins without crushing the delicate interior of the food. It is particularly effective for slicing crusty breads, tomatoes, or citrus.

Hollow grinding creates a thinner edge profile, which reduces friction as you cut. This design makes the knife easier to hone and sharpen, as there is less metal to remove to achieve a keen edge.

While the polypropylene handle is durable and slip-resistant, we recommend hand-washing this knife. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge prematurely and degrade the handle material over time.

Yes, the 10-inch length and scalloped edge make it a versatile tool for carving roasts, slicing large melons, or portioning delicate cakes. It is a workhorse in both professional and home kitchens.

Although the blade is made from stain-free, high-carbon steel, it is still susceptible to oxidation if left wet. Always dry the blade thoroughly immediately after washing to maintain its finish and performance.
