Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 6-inch Scalloped Cook's Knife (S145-6SC)

Dexter-Russell recommends this compact scalloped knife for hearty cuts of meat, tough-crusted breads and thick-rinded fruit, the foods that make a plain edge skid. The 6-inch Sani-Safe S145-6SC has a chef’s knife shape with a scalloped edge, so it can slice a baguette for a sandwich line or cut cleanly through citrus peel.

Dexter describes the edge as scalloped, a rounded pattern that cuts cleanly and is easier to maintain than a sawtooth serration. The rounded scallops grip a ripe tomato skin without crushing the fruit, and they portion cooked meat without tearing the slices. The short blade fits a small station or a home kitchen drawer, and for sandwich shops and delis it pairs well with a larger chef’s knife.
