Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 7-inch Scalloped Offset Bread Knife

Dexter-Russell’s Sani-Safe S163-7SC is a 7-inch scalloped offset knife built for sandwich lines and bakery counters. Dexter describes it for slicing meats, tough crusted breads, thick rinds and tough-skinned vegetables, and the offset blade keeps the fingers well away from the cut.

Seven inches is a comfortable length for subs and rolls, and the sealed, sanitary handle suits kitchens that wash knives between tasks. Our favorite detail is how wide the blade is right beside the handle, which gives a secure hold to cooks who choke up on the knife or use a pinch grip. Dexter calls it an offset slicer, and it does the job of an offset bread knife at a compact size.
